In 2014, “groundwater makes up 60 percent of California’s water use” (Governor Brown Changes, 2014).

“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.

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

When your in a car what is it that your focus should be on: your car, the cars of others, the road, watching out for pedestrians, or watching for lights and signs? Well driving is all those thing put together and to add a phone to the mix is to many things for a single person to concentrate on. Some state have made it illegal for people to drive while using a hand held device and, I believe that is the right decision because while people are on their phones while driving they can: run into other car or hit pedestrians. Have you ever seen a car that's run a stop sign or light? Chances are you have and some of those times people are running late for something and don't notice it but i bet most times its because a person was too busy talking on their phone or even texting.

The new advances in technology allow businesses to reach different customer bases. This includes buying and selling products over the Internet. The online shopping process is considered e-commerce. E-commerce is made up of different behaviors but for the purpose of this discussion the three discussed are consumer-to-consumer (C2C), business-to-business (B2B), and consumer-to-business (C2B). The different behaviors have different mediums to reach their targeted audience. The message for each behavior persuades a particular audience to purchase a product using that particular medium. Consumers and businesses look to the web for cost-effective ways to sell and buy products.

Spring semester 2018 has been a very difficult semester and Persuasive Communication 2367 was one of the classes that really required me to learn and work hard. I have learned about persuasion and persuasive communication, along with public speaking. Much of what I learned from Communication 2367, I will be able to apply to my academic and professional career. In addition to knowledge about persuasion, I have gained a lot of information on social problems and nonprofit organizations. This class was structured much differently than any class I had ever taken before, if I could begin again, I would approach this course much differently in hopes of receiving a better grade. What I know and understand now would have been very helpful when trying

Wal-Mart is heavily criticized for its low level of health benefits (Boatright, 2012, 187). Our workers earn low wages and cannot elect health insurance because of the amount they would have to pay on a monthly basis. This is important to the families of the Wal-Mart employee who depend of the Wal-Mart insurance plan. I am aware that cost reduction and saving money is a priority for Wal-Mart. I understand how implementing your proposals will achieve those goals. However, I don’t support this action and I won’t enforce it.

We try to persuade people all the time. Whether it is our parents in order to get a dog, our teachers to get a better grade, or our boss to negotiate a higher wage. However, sometimes the intended goal turns out to be an unexpected consequence. So, what key elements make up a great persuasive speech? To answer this question, it is best to bring in a real-world example. An advertisement made by Volvo showcases a variety of different persuasive tactics that attempt not only show off certain qualities of their car, but to also influence their audience to buy their car. A variety of factors will be analyzed such as salience, message characteristics, and source credibility. Through thorough examination of these different features, along with the incorporation of research studies, it will be seen that some of these tactics are more persuasive and work better within certain segments of the target audience.

Before we begin, I would like to tell you that I really enjoyed your post. I also feel that being persuasive is something that I am good at as well. I personally think that it's pretty cool to be able to change the minds of others in the process. The question is can it always be a good thing or can it really become a problem? I honestly think you're using your flair for a good reason. As you stated In your discussion you've used your ability of persuasion to narrow a situation down with your family members. I've ran into many in counters with my family members as well; though I am good at persuading others, I had a tough time with them. It made me realize, that i can't persuade everyone. I really believe you should take the approach

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the

In writing it’s important to have an understanding of what you’re trying to convey for your audience in addition to how you you will present your ideas. Effective communication extends beyond having well organized writing expressed in complete and coherent sentences. The style, tone and clarity of writing must also be considered, as they are constantly changing relative to the audience. Again, analyzing one’s audience and purpose is essential to successful writing. Appropriately, when choosing the most effective language, it is important to consider the document objective as well as the reader. In essence, this idea of effective use of language has been the overarching theme of this online English course. Each writing assignment

Oxford dictionary (2017) defines persuasion as ‘the action or process of persuading someone or of being persuaded to do or believe something’. When related to communication, persuasion is referred as ‘any message that is intended to shape, reinforce, or change the responses of another or others’ (Miller, 1980). It is used to convince others to ‘agree with our facts, share our values, accept our argument and conclusions, and adopt our way of thinking’ (Saylor Academy, 2017). A key element in persuasion is language. The effective use of language is referred as rhetoric. According to google dictionary (2017), rhetoric is deepened through ‘the exploitation of figures of speech and other compositional techniques’. This technique of persuasion is commonly used by politicians, marketing agent, advertisers, social activists etc. to reach the desired efforts (Wawasan, 2015).

Persuasion is described as the deliberate process that intends to change an individual’s attitudes, behaviours or beliefs from their previous initial views and ways of behaving in society. Persuasive communication is widespread and evident all around us, including in central areas of politics, marketing and media. Burkholder et al’s (2003) findings support the idea that there are cultural differences evident in the effectiveness of persuasion, in which they found that shortly after the end of the Iraq war, surveys indicated that although Americans favoured the use of military action against Iraq by 2:1, Europeans opposed it by the same margin. There are four key factors that help influence persuasion amongst the masses, depending on their
