persuasion
Three ways to persuade
1. You want to project a powerful authority, present a good background, and build your character well so that people trust you.
2. To help project this image you can speak confidently, and listen to opposing arguments.
3. In order not to harm your image you want to stay away from words with negative connotations.
4. If you are presenting your argument with misspelled words and using words in the wrong way in will diminish you credibility.
1. If you start an argument from a faulty assumption you immediately loose credibility because they know that you do not have true facts.
2. Depending on the situation logical arguments may hold more weight, but if you are a boss, celebrity, etc. and you have authority over many people it may not be.
3. I use logical arguments on a daily basis, because if someone has a wrong opinion of something and you explain to them as to why it is wrong they are more likely to agree than just telling them that they are wrong.
1. Using emotion to persuade people is everywhere. It is on ever commercial and every billboard, such as a toothpaste commercial that uses a model with immaculately white teeth saying that if you use this toothpaste your teeth will be this white.
2. It is unfair to use emotion to persuade people as a last resort. If you’ve given them facts and they still don’t agree with you it is wrong to try and change their opinion by manipulating their emotions to agree with you.
3. I think everyone makes decisions off of their emotions on a daily basis. You are just as likely to regret a decision based off of emotion as you are by ethos.
4. Emotions serve me very well in making decisions. If I did not use them I don’t think I’d be happy. Just because a decision is a good choice doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the right choice.
