The first concept that is important to persuasion is being situation sensitive. It is important to understand that every situation is different. Even if the situation has a similar context the people and they way it is perceived is different and therefore requires its own form of persuasion. There are three factors that take a part in being situationally sensitive. The first factor the book discusses is people's level of commitment and their relationship. These things will play a role in how the message is perceived. “It is one thing to disagree with a strangers on a train to disagree about whether abortion is murder; it is quite another for a husband and his pregnant wife to have the same disagreement” (simons and Jones 126).

The persuasion is an aspect of the intercultural communication. It is any ideas or action of telling someone to do what we belief. There are three styles of persuasion in differences cultural. There are quasilogical style, presentation style, and analogical style. The quailogical style of persuasion practices by among of Western culture. In this style, the preference is to use the fact and statistic from the expert as evidences. The persuader should connect the logical
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
The first essential of persuasion involves the structure of the argument being posed by one who is trying to provoke others to action. In order to convince someone of a new argument, idea or moral, one must use the proper methods: logos, ethos and pathos. According to Hauser, “The method
2.) I think that ethos is the most important rhetorical proof to have for a persuasive speech. If you don’t have ethos or “credibility of the speaker”(Ethos, Pathos, Logos: 3 Pillars of Public Speaking) then how will your audience be persuaded if they can’t believe you or know that you are credible. While all of the rhetorical proofs would be good to have in any persuasive speech ethos would be a game changer if you didn’t have it.
Persuasion can be different for everyone. You can persuade someone into doing something that they didn’t necessarily think they were going to do before by telling them how it will be beneficial to them. Persuasion goes a long way because believing in something and then hearing it from someone else’s perspective can make you think twice about your original decision. If someone else has a better point and can make it clear enough for you to understand, you might easily believe them over your original opinion. Persuasion is a very convincing type of language and is used in so many different situations.
In my everyday life I use persuasion to effect change in a person’s beliefs, attitudes, intentions and behaviors. I use persuasion to influence others around me either if it is in a work setting, a social interaction or giving a public speech. The ability to convey information, feelings or reason is a very useful tool in the pursuit of my own personal gain. While attending a Surf Riders meeting, a non-profit organization to clean our beaches, I gave a persuasive speech on why it was important to join and participate our party. I spoke at a Mothers against Drunk Driving (MADD) class to help people understand the severity of the crime.
Based on the readings from The Republic of Plato, the central tension within the book is identifying the ideal form of guiding individuals either through a persuasive or compulsive path of becoming complete guardians. Through persuasion, those qualified to rule, similar to Adeimantus and Glaucon, are more adequately educated to lead a city than through compulsion. Within this essay, the defining important principle of persuasion that will be explained are listening, exhortation and dialectic. By examining Platos understanding of the importance of persuasion in education, it can be determined that qualified individuals are more adequately educated through an emphasis of persuasion over compulsion.
It is critical to identify the tangible benefits and values that really matters to people being persuade. Effective persuaders consider what is important to an audience and lays his or her position to match common ground with the audience. This is a give-and-take process. Effective persuaders also use testimonies, past and current research, etc and readjust their argument to make them appealing to their audience. Persuaders must know an audience well enough to know what will capture their immediate and continued attention.
The summer of 2015: an eventful twelve-week break in which not only did Obergefell overturn Baker but “#BlackLivesMatter” trended all over social media, bringing hundreds of thousands of people of different walks of journey and color to come together and share the same feelings of both euphoria and dolor. In addition to historical hallmarks and tragedies, literature is also a unifying force of human experience which has allowed humans to identify as “one” regardless of heterogeneity because it opens minds to people living in different geographical locations and it highlights the commonalities within people.
A situation where I have used persuasion that is outside of advertising is, any conversation with my parents about letting me borrow their car. In order to get them to allow me to borrow their car, I have to persuade them in such a way where I make them feel comfortable and confident about the car in my care. For example, reassuring them that I won’t speed, that I'm an okay driver
When I think about the art of persuasion one of the first people that influenced our lives today because of his ability to master persuasion to me is Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple Computers, which has become the world’s most valuable company today. Before Jobs became the envisionary that we know that has produced several of the devices we use from Apple today, he openly talked about getting fired from Apple, calling it "devastating", to be able to show the relations that he had with other and that he had been in their shoes before (Ong, J, 2013). The ability to see things from other viewpoints is important as a leaders and to be able to understand others leaders have to have sensitivity to their needs. (Manning & Curtis, 2008).
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
For example, many people agree that shoplifting is wrong, because the effects from stealing from another cause more suffering than pleasure for all involved. Persuasion can be used to try and reason with the potential shoplifter so they change their mind and decide not to steal. However, persuasion
“Many experts have studied persuasion and observed what works and what doesn’t.” (McLean, 2010, p.538) According to the social psychologist Robert Cialdini, there are six principles of persuasion that are powerful and effective; i.e. reciprocity, scarcity, authority, commitment and consistency, consensus, and liking. (McLean, 2010, p.538) The aim of this assignment is to define and discuss the above principles, then provide and analyze an example which entails all of them.
This principle is born out of societal norm and culture. It is a principle whereby people do things for you in expectation that you will do something for them. What they expected you to do might just be verbal or physical action. For instance, when you walk into a shop to buy something, and the shop attendant goes out his/her way to research for information to enable you understand the product or service better. You can really see that the shop attendant was not showing any sign of being busy, rather he was even the one suggesting more things that will lead to her making more research.
