Different between
Academic and Propagandistic Writings
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Download the Article in PDF Version Based on our experience with different types of
writings, we can classify those under two categories: Serious academic
writings and propagandistic ones. The objective of this essay is to establish
criteria to differentiate between the two. The following comparison and
contrast will help us in doing so:
The above-mentioned
details are applicable to other genres like film, drama, documentaries,
novels, talk shows etc. However, you will find majority of them as
propagandistic and it is very hard to find a film, drama, documentary, novel
and talk show produced in academic style. Based on
the above, I would like to advise you the following: ·
While
reading a book, article etc. determine whether it is
academic or propagandistic. ·
Focus
on academic writings and ignore the propagandistic ones. ·
If
you do not find academic writings on a subject and only propagandistic
writings are available, try to find some writings of the opponent and form
your opinions after reading the both. ·
While
analyzing the propagandistic writings, differentiate between verifiable
arguments and non-verifiable arguments. Focus on the first and ignore the
second. For instance, especially articles written on political subjects in
newspapers, intelligence reports or oral claims of eye-witnesses
are provided as an evidence which could not be verified. A clear-cut proof is
the one which is easily verifiable. ·
Whenever
you write a book or an article, try to pen in academic style. Rational
readers reject propagandistic styles and mark a red circle around the name of
the author. So be careful, writing in propagandistic style may adversely
affect your reputation. I try my
best to write in academic style. However, you may find propagandistic tone in
some sentences. You are highly encouraged to identify such sentences and let
me know so that I can improve them. (Author:
