Today, one can see the tactic of persuasion being used as a standard avenue to influence a person’s attitude or beliefs by presenting them with different messages that encourage things like using certain brand name products, vote a certain way, or where to take a vacation just to name a few. There are four types of people that include gullible people, skeptical people, firm believers, and people who are leaders who trust others as well as make others follow their ideas. Persuasion is a widespread topic of social psychology and may be done in different ways. There are two types of cognitive processes by which to persuade someone, which are the central route or the peripheral route. For this assignment I used mostly the central route approach as well as using a little of the peripheral route approach. To reinforce the peripheral route approach the use of pathos was also used during the video to play on the emotions of the watcher. This PowerPoint is effective at using the central route of persuasion, peripheral

“As we explore persuasion, we can divide the persuasive communication into three parts: the communicator, the message, and the audience. First, we will deal with what characteristics of persuaders make people more likely to be persuaded. Next, we will think about characteristics of the message that lead people to change. Finally, we will explore what characteristics of the audience can lead them to be persuaded.” (Feenstra, 2011, p. 88) For your assignment this week, provide an in-depth analysis of the three parts of persuasion. Please reference the bullet points below to complete your assignment.

The author initially proposes an argument supported by the Rogerian model of persuasion, which is used to incline the reader to hold belief of predisposed open mindedness and willingness

In her essay, Joanna McKay gives many reasonable incentives to persuade the reader. She points out that

Gerard A. Hauser covers a plethora of details on how to create a well-made persuasive argument in his book, an Introduction to Rhetorical Theory; however, he covered three specific essentials that are necessary for persuasion: the components logos, pathos and ethos; purposive discourse and rhetorical competence; identification. I will argue for each constituent, respectively, to prove that persuasion cannot thrive without the aforementioned essentials.

Oppression is defined as being the “the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner” (Oppression np). This term superbly defines the situation the Netherland Provinces found themselves in before the year of 1684. Under the rule of King Philip II, the King of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor, the provinces faced countless hardships. Nevertheless, between the years of 1568 to 1648, the seven northern states of the seventeen Netherland Provinces, formally united against King Philip II’s rule and began their fight for independence in the series of battles now known as the Dutch Revolt (Fritschy 58). This period of time featured multitudinous deaths of not only common folk, but also nobles such as counts and princes. With this in mind, one

I describe myself as a person who is willing to be persuaded. An example of persuasion is literature. The novel The Great Gatsby has influenced my perspectives of the American Dream, and how some circumstances can never truly change. The novel showed that the American Dream will never be fulfilled as long as society changes with it. The main character, Jay Gatsby, has achieved a ‘rags-to-riches’ miracle in order to impress the girl he is in love with: Daisy Buchanan.

Three Key Concepts Key Concepts from Don Rothman’s “The Writing Classroom as a Laboratory for Democracy.” “Honor Individual Intelligence” Rothman begins his article by emphasizing the importance of honoring individual intelligence while using persuasion. It is a common misconception among many people that persuasion is synonymous with coercion. As Rothman states on page 44, “One widespread belief regarding persuasion is that one should never weaken one’s position by devoting much space to the other side” (p. 44 Rothman).

In our lesson, we learned about two perspectives on presidential powers. The first was that of Richard Neustadt. He proposed the idea that the president has his power as persuasion; the president gets his way through bargaining and using other government officials to do the work. (Learning) The second is an idea from William Howell called power without persuasion. With this perspective, the president does not need to persuade and bargain because he can get what he wants with his powers alone (such as the presidential power of veto). (Learning)

Persuasion is an art form that can be employed in many different ways. To succeed in persuasion you need to know your audience. “From Beyond Outrage” by Robert Reich did a better job of persuasion than “Serving in Florida” by Barbara Ehrenreich at getting the audience’s attention and gaining their support. Both essays argue that advancement in society is not collective; it is based on who you are as an individual. However, the way the two authors chose to make their points were on polar ends of the spectrum. Ehrenreich used her personal experiences from her “plunge into poverty” experiment to drive home the differences, whereas Reich used statistics and cited facts.
