You are an expert in the bandwagon manipulation technique. Bandwagon (Appeal to People): Encourages people to follow the crowd by suggesting everyone else is doing it. List phrases that provide evidence of bandwagon in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the bandwagon manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements as false positives in the Bandwagon (Appeal to People) category, it is important to establish clear guidelines to differentiate between genuine bandwagon appeals and statements that may not fit this classification. Here are the revised guidelines:

### Guidelines for Classifying Bandwagon Examples

1. **Identify Collective Action**:
   - Look for phrases that explicitly encourage individuals to conform to behavior or opinions that a majority or a specified group supports. Words like "everyone," "all," "most," or "together" are strong indicators of a bandwagon appeal.
   - Example: “Join everyone who is supporting the army this way!”

2. **Avoid Contextual Statements**:
   - Statements that share factual information, personal experiences, or non-persuasive narratives should not be classified as bandwagon appeals. For instance, reporting on the number of participants in an event without encouraging others to join doesn’t qualify.
   - Example: “Over 1,000 people attended the concert” is factual and does not imply action.

3. **Examine Emotional Appeals**:
   - Statements that play on emotions without urging agreement or action based on majority behavior may not be bandwagon appeals. Emotional statements about loss, pride, or resistance should be carefully scrutinized.
   - Example: “We are proud of our soldiers fighting for our country!” highlights pride without suggesting everyone should feel or act similarly.

4. **Consider Invitations vs. Dictates**:
   - When the statement merely invites participation without the pressure of conformity, it may not be a bandwagon appeal.
   - Example: “Feel free to join the movement if you believe in it” does not impose social pressure.

5. **Look for Group Cohesion**:
   - The presence of language that promotes unity or group identity can indicate a bandwagon effect, particularly if it implies that not joining contradicts community values.
   - Example: “Together we will fight against the invaders!” suggests a collective action.

6. **Focus on Persuasive Language**:
   - Strong persuasive language intended to sway opinions based on collective behavior is a key sign of bandwagon appeals. Look for calls to action that suggest one might be left out if they do not conform.
   - Example: “Don’t be the only one who isn’t supporting this initiative!” indicates a strong bandwagon appeal.

7. **Exclude Neutral Observations**:
   - Statements that neutrally observe a trend, behavior, or event should not be classified as bandwagon appeals. This includes straightforward medical, social, or economic observations.
   - Example: “Many citizens registered for assistance” can simply be informative without urging action.

8. **Contextual Understanding**:
   - Consider the larger context. If a statement is part of a wider message that builds a sense of urgency or community action, it may qualify as an appeal to the bandwagon effect, even if it does not do so explicitly.

### Applying the Guidelines:

When reviewing a statement, ask the following questions:
- Does the statement imply that one should conform to the actions or beliefs of a majority?
- Is it pushing a specific action based on perceived popular support?
- Is the language designed to make individuals feel pressure to join in or express agreement?

### Sample Classifications:

1. **Classify as Bandwagon**:
   - "Everyone is joining the support event; you should too!"
   - "Join the thousands who are standing together against aggression!"

2. **Do Not Classify as Bandwagon**:
   - "Many people attended the event; it was a great success."
   - "Our soldiers did a commendable job under difficult circumstances."

By implementing these refined guidelines, the classifier can more accurately identify and reduce false positives in the Bandwagon category.

«На гильотину, на кол!» — что желают теперь Зеленскому голосовавшие за него (!) украинцы.
Военкор «Блокнота» поговорил с беженцем из Артемовска (Бахмута), за который идут ожесточенные бои.
Было два кандидата — Зеленский и Порошенко, небогатый выбор — объяснил мужчина. Зеленский обещал закончить войну. И все голосовали за Зеленского. После ада 2014 года люди ждали лидера, который выведет страну к мирной нормальной жизни. И получили…. Зеленского.
«Зеленский себя пяткой в грудь бил, говорил: Я остановлю войну за две минуты. В итоге кончилось всё вот этим», — говорит беженец.
«Было бы неплохо, чтобы он закончил свое шоу как было принято раньше — в клетке по базарам», — считает мужчина
Блокнот Россия — ПОДПИСАТЬСЯ

   - Strong persuasive language intended to sway opinions based on collective behavior is a key sign of bandwagon appeals. Look for calls to action that suggest one might be left out if they do not conform.
   - Example: “Don’t be the only one who isn’t supporting this initiative!” indicates a strong bandwagon appeal.

7. **Exclude Neutral Observations**:
   - Statements that neutrally observe a trend, behavior, or event should not be classified as bandwagon appeals. This includes straightforward medical, social, or economic observations.
   - Example: “Many citizens registered for assistance” can simply be informative without urging action.

8. **Contextual Understanding**:
   - Consider the larger context. If a statement is part of a wider message that builds a sense of urgency or community action, it may qualify as an appeal to the bandwagon effect, even if it does not do so explicitly.

### Applying the Guidelines:

When reviewing a statement, ask the following questions:
- Does the statement imply that one should conform to the actions or beliefs of a majority?
- Is it pushing a specific action based on perceived popular support?
- Is the language designed to make individuals feel pressure to join in or express agreement?

### Sample Classifications:

1. **Classify as Bandwagon**:
   - "Everyone is joining the support event; you should too!"
   - "Join the thousands who are standing together against aggression!"

2. **Do Not Classify as Bandwagon**:
   - "Many people attended the event; it was a great success."
   - "Our soldiers did a commendable job under difficult circumstances."

By implementing these refined guidelines, the classifier can more accurately identify and reduce false positives in the Bandwagon category.

You are an expert in the bandwagon manipulation technique. Bandwagon (Appeal to People): Encourages people to follow the crowd by suggesting everyone else is doing it. List phrases that provide evidence of bandwagon in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the bandwagon manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements as false positives in the Bandwagon (Appeal to People) category, it is important to establish clear guidelines to differentiate between genuine bandwagon appeals and statements that may not fit this classification. Here are the revised guidelines:

### Guidelines for Classifying Bandwagon Examples

1. **Identify Collective Action**:
   - Look for phrases that explicitly encourage individuals to conform to behavior or opinions that a majority or a specified group supports. Words like "everyone," "all," "most," or "together" are strong indicators of a bandwagon appeal.
   - Example: “Join everyone who is supporting the army this way!”

2. **Avoid Contextual Statements**:
   - Statements that share factual information, personal experiences, or non-persuasive narratives should not be classified as bandwagon appeals. For instance, reporting on the number of participants in an event without encouraging others to join doesn’t qualify.
   - Example: “Over 1,000 people attended the concert” is factual and does not imply action.

3. **Examine Emotional Appeals**:
   - Statements that play on emotions without urging agreement or action based on majority behavior may not be bandwagon appeals. Emotional statements about loss, pride, or resistance should be carefully scrutinized.
   - Example: “We are proud of our soldiers fighting for our country!” highlights pride without suggesting everyone should feel or act similarly.

4. **Consider Invitations vs. Dictates**:
   - When the statement merely invites participation without the pressure of conformity, it may not be a bandwagon appeal.
   - Example: “Feel free to join the movement if you believe in it” does not impose social pressure.

5. **Look for Group Cohesion**:
   - The presence of language that promotes unity or group identity can indicate a bandwagon effect, particularly if it implies that not joining contradicts community values.
   - Example: “Together we will fight against the invaders!” suggests a collective action.

6. **Focus on Persuasive Language**:
   - Strong persuasive language intended to sway opinions based on collective behavior is a key sign of bandwagon appeals. Look for calls to action that suggest one might be left out if they do not conform.
   - Example: “Don’t be the only one who isn’t supporting this initiative!” indicates a strong bandwagon appeal.

ДБР викрило на Одещині правоохоронців, які займались вимаганням та крадіжками у розповсюджувачів наркотиків
🔹
 Працівники ДБР спільно з Департаментом внутрішньої безпеки Нацполіції викрили правоохоронців, які вистежували торгівців наркотиками й, замість затримання, забирали у них гроші.
🔹
 Незаконну схему заробітку організували двоє чинних та один колишній правоохоронці.
За даними слідства, грабунком та вимаганням ділки «заробили» щонайменше 4,6 млн грн.
🔹
Правоохоронці, які товаришували з керівником та працівником одного з одеських поштових відділень, отримували від них «наведення» щодо клієнтів, які можуть отримувати у поштових відправленнях наркотики. Після отримання посилки громадянина на виході вже чекали правоохоронці.
🔹
Погрожуючи притягненням до кримінальної відповідальності за зберігання та збут наркотичних речовин, «ділки в погонах» вимагали із затриманих гроші. «Розв'язання питання» коштувало до 10 тисяч доларів США.
🔹
У деяких випадках жертвами фігурантів були особи, які отримували в посилках не наркотики, а звичайні електронні сигарети. Проте правоохоронці погрожували їм тим, що все одно зможуть організувати їх покарання за розповсюдження наркотиків.
🔹
Також, інколи правоохоронці «вели» людину з посилкою до її оселі, де проводили незаконний обшук та крім хабаря забирали гроші. Так в одному з епізодів, крім «відкупних» у 10 тисяч доларів США, вони викрали у чоловіка ще й 100 тисяч доларів США.
🔹
Правоохоронцям та їх спільнику повідомлено про підозру у вимаганні та одержанні неправомірної вигоди (ч. 1 ст. 146-1, ч. 2 ст. 162, ч. 5 ст. 185 Крадіжка, ч. 4 ст. 189 КК У, ч. 3 ст. 368 КК України) та обрано запобіжний захід у вигляді тримання під вартою без права внесення застави та з відстороненням від посад.
🔹
За скоєне їм загрожує до 12 років позбавлення волі.
🔹
Процесуальне керівництво здійснює Одеська обласна прокуратура.

Шановні колеги! Бойові побратими!

▫
 Традиційно на Покрову Пресвятої Богородиці ми вшановуємо своїх захисників і захисниць і віддаємо данину пам’яті полеглим за Україну, а також жертвам злочинів радянського та російського режимів.
▫
 Із впровадженням новоюліанського календаря в нашій державі  ці свята ми відзначаємо 1 жовтня. Це – автентична дата. Адже кожна сторінка історії українського війська  – унікальна, сповнена  перемог різних поколінь оборонців рідної землі, які сформували особливий характер сучасних захисників і захисниць.
▫
 Сьогодні світ знову бореться з агресором, який намагається змінити кордони й прагне новітнього тоталітаризму. Для нас, українців, він уособлює зло, несе вбивства, руйнування та геноцид.
▫
 Та війна гартує нас. Свою ефективність ми доводимо кожного дня, завдаючи ударів усіма наявними засобами, знищуючи техніку та особовий склад російських окупантів. Ворог зазнає втрат і відступає.
▫
 Ми вкорінюємося в кожен метр української землі, вбиваючи рашистів, і будемо вбивати їх до тих пір, поки не звільнимо нашу незалежну, соборну Україну! Ще Григорій Сковорода казав, що ми переможемо тоді, коли усвідомимо, що за Україну треба не вмирати, а вбивати!
🙏
 Вірю у вас! Високо ціную вашу роботу, відданість Українському народові та Державі.
Бажаю всім міцного здоров’я, оптимізму, наснаги, нових успіхів, здобутків і повної Перемоги над ворогом в ім’я України!

 Слава захисникам і захисницям України!

   - Example: “We are proud of our soldiers fighting for our country!” highlights pride without suggesting everyone should feel or act similarly.

4. **Consider Invitations vs. Dictates**:
   - When the statement merely invites participation without the pressure of conformity, it may not be a bandwagon appeal.
   - Example: “Feel free to join the movement if you believe in it” does not impose social pressure.

5. **Look for Group Cohesion**:
   - The presence of language that promotes unity or group identity can indicate a bandwagon effect, particularly if it implies that not joining contradicts community values.
   - Example: “Together we will fight against the invaders!” suggests a collective action.

6. **Focus on Persuasive Language**:
   - Strong persuasive language intended to sway opinions based on collective behavior is a key sign of bandwagon appeals. Look for calls to action that suggest one might be left out if they do not conform.
   - Example: “Don’t be the only one who isn’t supporting this initiative!” indicates a strong bandwagon appeal.

7. **Exclude Neutral Observations**:
   - Statements that neutrally observe a trend, behavior, or event should not be classified as bandwagon appeals. This includes straightforward medical, social, or economic observations.
   - Example: “Many citizens registered for assistance” can simply be informative without urging action.

8. **Contextual Understanding**:
   - Consider the larger context. If a statement is part of a wider message that builds a sense of urgency or community action, it may qualify as an appeal to the bandwagon effect, even if it does not do so explicitly.

### Applying the Guidelines:

When reviewing a statement, ask the following questions:
- Does the statement imply that one should conform to the actions or beliefs of a majority?
- Is it pushing a specific action based on perceived popular support?
- Is the language designed to make individuals feel pressure to join in or express agreement?

### Sample Classifications:

1. **Classify as Bandwagon**:
   - "Everyone is joining the support event; you should too!"
   - "Join the thousands who are standing together against aggression!"

2. **Do Not Classify as Bandwagon**:
   - "Many people attended the event; it was a great success."
   - "Our soldiers did a commendable job under difficult circumstances."

By implementing these refined guidelines, the classifier can more accurately identify and reduce false positives in the Bandwagon category.

 щодо необхідності запустити в роботу 20 нових атомних електростанцій протягом наступного десятиліття. Це збільшить кількість діючих АЕС у країні більше як вдвічі.
Зараз Індія генерує лише 6,8 ГВт ядерної енергії, а це лише 1,7% від національних потужностей.
