For example, Heinrichs uses pop culture examples of the Matrix, Britney Spears and Animal House to better connect with the audience, therefore, making his topic more interesting and relatable. Another key point is the technique

An essential piece of knowledge in the art of persuasion is to realize whether or not your conflict is a true argument or a petty fight. “ in a fight, one person takes his aggression out on another” (heinrichs 17). The motives behind both an actual argument and a fight are completely different because when a person is truly arguing they are merely trying to persuade and influence their opponent’/audience.

most important concept from chapter eleven is the recognizing the distinction between informative and persuasive speeches. The author stated that there is a fine line between two types of speeches, one is to gain information and one is to alter attitudes and behaviors, respectively.

Reflexive Transparency, Mental Content, and Externalism It has been disputed whether an externalist conception of the individuation of intentional states, such as beliefs and desires, is compatible with self-knowledge, that is, the claim that one's judgments about one's intentional states are non-evidential, non-inferential, and authoritative. I want to argue that these theses are indeed incompatible, notwithstanding an important objection to this incompatibility claim. The worry has been raised

consistency philosophers formulated theories of conflict, retention, and bigotry for indecisiveness by those with a controlling disposition. At the core of subjective consistency theories, is the suspicion that individuals are propelled to seek coherent attitudes, thoughts, beliefs, values, behaviors, and feelings.
