Diversionary tactics are strategies used to redirect attention away from a particular issue or problem. These tactics can be employed in various contexts, such as politics, negotiations, or personal conflicts, to distract others from the main topic at hand. By shifting focus, the individual or group using these tactics aims to avoid scrutiny or criticism. Common examples of diversionary tactics include introducing irrelevant information, changing the subject, or exaggerating a minor issue. In politics, for instance, a leader might highlight a less significant event to divert public attention from a more pressing scandal. Such tactics can be effective but may also lead to mistrust if recognized.
