There are many ways motivational appeal can be utilized to deceive others. In the film “Promised Land” two of the main characters, Sue and Steve, utilize the motivational concept of fear to enact deception. However, Frank Yates (a respected member of the community who opposes the town’s acceptance of Global) employs fear and ingratiation to undermine the natural gas company and expose the deception that Global has employed, not only to the town but to Steve Butler as well. This paper will illustrate how fear, warmth, and ingratiation play a vital role in the development and ultimate detection of Global’s deception.
Steve Butler and Sue Thomason are two sales executive from the natural gas company, Global, they visit the town of Mckinley with the intentions of leasing the town for natural gas drilling; in order to accomplish this Butler and Thomason enact deception to convince the residents of the town that natural gas is their only option. Butler and his partner Sue Thomason make their first pitch to lease land to the Allen family who have two young children. Thomason, a mother of a teenage boy herself, utilizes fear to deceive Mrs. Allen (from whom they are trying to lease land) that the only way Mrs. Allen’s young son will have a bright future is if they allow Global to come into their town and lease their land for drilling. While trying to convince the family that leasing their land is the right decision Thomason says to Mrs. Allen, “Even before the drilling, the
In the most widely quoted and discussed model of presidential power, Richard Neustadt states that the power of the president lies in the power to persuade. According to Neustadt, the key to presidential success and influence is persuasion. Although some may view the president as a powerful authority figure, the checks and balances established by the founders makes the president’s skills of persuasion crucial.
A person's thoughts transpire like a fork in the road ; people can help direct those thoughts through persuasion. Quality types of persuasion happen all around us, but there can also be a substandard type. The inspiring persuasion happens when someone trying to help another individual convinces them to do the right thing, but the other, inadequate persuasion, can lead to a poor choice that may cause regret later. In “The Most Dangerous Game,” Richard Connell uses persuasive language between the characters and shows their decisions throughout the short story.

2. What – Discuss the Characteristics of the Message: What attributes are inherent in persuasive messages? How are we influenced by the emotion, framing, narratives, and rational appeals in the messaging we receive? What is the significance of the sleeper effect?
Rhetorical analysis is looking at something such as an essay, newspaper, movie or advertisement and looking beyond the story, information and intended audience. To analyze the purpose behind what’s written or said, to discover the intended audience and why they are writing what they are writing. There are three parts of rhetorical appeal persuasion: Ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos or an ethical appeal. This is the audience’s perspective on what the author is writing and to decide how credible it is. Who the author is and if they are credible. Pathos or pathetic appeal is the writer's attempt at connecting with the audience through experiences or examples. It is directly connected to interests and emotions of the audience.
Who am I? This is the paralyzing question that every youth asks themselves and attempts to discover at my age. There are too many responses to this question. The thought of all the different possibilities makes me physically sick and filled with anxiety. ‘I don’t know.’ Isn’t really an acceptable answer considering I’ve been alive for 16 years, so if I were to settle on one word, it would have to be ‘misfit’. Most people would take this as an insult, and when i was first labeled this (by my father) anyone could guess that I cried. I’ve finally come to terms with it now, realizing that it in fact suits me and isn’t necessarily a bad thing. To me this has become a type of compliment due to the uniqueness that it requires to be a misfit.

Stephen starts to attend school and play baseball with his newly met friends. In the town resides an antagonist named Will Henry. Will is a bully, and he constantly gets Stephen and Jenny into trouble. One day, they fight off Will’s gang, and are forced to serve detention with Mr. Tuttle, the town’s teacher. Eventually, Stephen and Jenny decide to leave town, and circle around behind Will’s house and pull a prank on him. They shoot firecrackers in his backyard, and they scatter all his family’s livestock. What they thought would be a funny prank soon turned out to be lethal, and cause much devastation and destruction. This harmless prank was misinterpreted by the townsfolk to be an attack by the mysterious Fort Leonard.

In retaliation, the Fort hired slavers that attacked Settler’s Landing. A terrible war took place, and in the end tons of people were injured and many were killed. Among the killed included Will Henry himself. After the battle, Violet comes to inform Stephen that his father had not survived his injuries. Stephen buries him, and must learn to move on from his past life as a salvager. Instead, he decides to call Settlers Landing his home, and continues his new lifestyle.
Sex; it’s the most important basic step that needs to happen in order for a new human life to be formed. A human baby can survive without physical care or mental support in the womb, but without the fertilization of the egg, there can be no human baby. All human and animalistic instincts tell humans to find a partner solely for the purpose of succeeding offspring. As human or more specifically American society, the human race is no longer in need of a reproduction-based system. People can choose whether or not they want children of their own with who they want, when they want, and in some weird cases, how they want. To the same token of having much more choices to a person’s own life rather than just reproduce, he or she can find a partner

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.
According to the text , Social Psychology, “social psychology is the scientific study of how people think about, influence, and relate to one another”(pg. 4) this is viewed in a variety of social topics incorporating group behaviors, attitudes, conformity, obedience to authority, stereotypes and peer pressure. Outside factors can have a positive or negative affect our view of ourselves and each other. These outside factors are used to persuade and influence group behavior. Persuasion is defined as “the process by which a message induces change in beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors” (Myers, 2010, pg. 230). The principles of this process of persuasion according to researchers, Robert Cialdini and Thomas Davidson, are attractiveness and
