• How Can The Audience Trust Your Credibility?

WIIFM: My survey stated you all didn’t know the impact on steroids before my informative speech, now I will try to persuade you all to feel the same way I feel.

In using facts, studies and reason to persuade the audience,

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.

One of the key factors in crafting a persuasive piece of rhetoric is tailoring your message to the specific audience. This information will help you decide what sorts of facts to incorporate into your rhetoric as well as help you determine which means of persuasion would be the most effective to employ. Your evidence. When planning your speech or writing, collect any and every type of evidence you can find. Evidence could be facts, statistics, laws, and individual testimonies. It’s always good to have a nice blend, but remember different audiences are persuaded by different types of evidence. Some people need cold, hard facts and statistics in order to be persuaded. Others find the testimony of peers or a reputable authority to be more convincing. Part of getting to know your audience is figuring out what kinds of evidence they will find most credible and compelling

One who is posing an argument is a great deal more likely to persuade the audience if one has the proper authority. For example, if a driver is speeding down the freeway, that driver will be much more likely to pull over if there is a police car in pursuit, as opposed to an ice cream truck. Why will the speedster pull over for the police car? Because the policeman in the car has the proper authority and is able to uphold the law, unlike the ice cream truck driver. Arguments work similarly to the ice cream truck example. If one tries to motivate people to change, one must have the proper authority. While one may be a well-researched scholar on the matter, it does not make a difference to the audience if one does not have the proper position.

In order for the audience to be persuaded, they must believe the argument is (or is not) logical and is supported by appropriate evidence. To find whether the evidence is appropriative it must have criteria that is sufficient, typical, accurate, and relevant (Killingsworth, 2005). The results fret his analysis concludes the rhetor was deficient in supporting the argument with sufficient evidence from the topic of individuals change over time. There was an abundance of studies shared that contributed to understanding of different aspects of the topics context but little information was incorporated to show any negative view. The inadequacy of information in the writing was a strategic approach made by the rhetor to manipulate the listeners impression of the topic. The audience was left to draw their own conclusions with an incomplete understanding of the topic but well informed. This action swayed reasoning by the carefully manipulated information presented. Consequently, technique was effective in persuading the audience to adopt his particular

In order to effectively convince an audience that a certain claim is true, it is necessary to use both evidence from a variety of sources and different rhetorical devices to make your claim seem valid.

In order for listeners to be persuaded they need to be able to believe in the character of that person. A speaker can be giving logical proof all they want but if the audience does not trust the speaker then they will not be able to be persuaded. Aristotle wrote that ethical proof, “is wrought when the speech is so spoked as to make the speaker credible; for we trust good men more and soon, as a rule about everything; while, about things which do not admit or precision, but only guesswork, we trust them absolutely” (Golden 68). A speaker’s integrity is judged on the basis of the apparent truthfulness of the statements one is making. The audience will also judge on the soundness of ideas in terms of their own experience and the evidence given in order to support the proposal. Lastly the speaker’s attitude toward the audience is also judged on the basis of best interest. Even though Aristotle stressed the importance of logos he stated that ethos is, “the most potent of all the means to persuasion” (Golden 73). A speaker may have an abundance of evidence, but if the audience finds the speaker to be a dishonest person they will have their doubts and it will be ten times more difficult for the speaker to persuade

be establish their knowledge about the subject they are trying to persuade the audience to believing. Aristotle sums it up best by saying “This kind of persuasion, like the others, should be achieved by what the speaker says, not by what people think of this character before he begins to speak” (Aristotle 25). What makes an audience see a speaker credible is when the play to the emotions of the audience. When an audience is able to relate to what the speaker is saying whether it be something personal to them or they know someone it pertains to it gives the audience the sense that the speaker is knowledgeable and understanding. Thus, making the speaker seem credible. All of these factors used together can contribute to the speaker being successful

I’m spirited and animated and I believe I am a talented orator. Speaking is an enjoyable action, for me. However, I am not one to speak while uninformed. Fact is a much stronger weapon than a strong opinion. I’m also aware of how detrimental the spreading of misinformation is. This is why I followed the advice of my mother, and joined my school’s debate team.

Persuasive speech outline purpose: To persuade my audience to donate blood through the American Red Cross. Introduction:

There is little evidence that persuasion can be effective because subjects do not integrate the information into their own belief system. The experiment was designed to test the relative importance of attribution versus persuasive manipulations by comparing persuasion treatment with an attribution treatment. The persuasion techniques were designed to be maximally effective by using a credible source delivering a repeated message stating the benefits of change. The attribution techniques were designed to be maximally

Charles Seife capitalized on a pop culture motif when titling his 2010 book on ways numbers have been expressed or manipulated to mislead voters and consumers. Truthiness, the 2006 Miriam-Webster word of the year, has been on the books since the 1800s, but comedian Stephen Colbert gave the word new meaning and a popularity it has never seen before when he defined it as “truthy not facty”. Colbert further explains truthiness as ‘truth that wouldn’t stand to be held back by facts’. Proofiness, while building off of that theme, implies something even more sinister because it refers to deliberate and purposefully misleading an audience through the use of deceptive numbers and statistics. Unfortunately, Seife doesn’t limit his inventive word formation to the title. He produces more words and phrases that he has made up for the purpose of application to a particular numerical fallacy that the he has observed. Examples include ‘causistry’, ‘randumbness’, ‘disestimation’, and ‘ Potemkin Numbers’. While Saife provides

Have you served in a war? Has your father or mother served in a war? How about your grandpa? As we honor those who have served we typically do so by standing for the pledge of allegiance or star spangled banner. We say thank you to our war heroes or we go and visit them and listen to their stories. In this paper I will be discussing why NFL players should not be allowed to kneel for the flag. Although the NFL players have the right to peacefully protest, they should find a different way than kneeling as it shows disrespect towards the flag also active duty military and veterans, it teaches young children this behavior is okay, what they are protesting has nothing to do with the flag and there are many different ways to get their message out.

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
