Main post: For this discussion, we will consider how persuasion is part of everyday life. Whether you are trying to convince a friend or loved one to join an activity, consider a major purchase, or prove to an employer that an idea is worthy of consideration, persuasion happens all the time. Keep in mind that persuasion does not necessarily mean a full-blown argument; it can be something as simple as convincing a friend to visit a specific restaurant or purchase a nice pair of shoes. It does not have to be a situation where you won the individual over. Perhaps your persuasion was unsuccessful.
Think of a time you tried to persuade someone of something. Write TWO fully developed paragraphs (a minimum of 250 words in total) describing the situation. In the first paragraph, describe the moment of persuasion with enough detail that the reader can envision the situation. In the second paragraph, explain why you felt that moment of persuasion was successful or unsuccessful. What strategies and/or techniques did you use to try to get the person to agree with you?
Response Posts: Respond to FOUR peers main posts with replies of a minimum of 150 words each. Answer the following questions:
- Was the situation described clearly and with enough detail to envision the situation?
- Reflect on the results. Could the situation have been handled differently? If so, how?
- Identify areas of logos, ethos, and/or pathos and specify which of the three your peers arguments relied on most heavily.
- Suggest areas of logos, ethos, and pathos that could have been used to make your peers arguments successful or stronger.
- Have you ever tried to persuade someone of this, too? Explain why you felt that moment of persuasion was successful or unsuccessful.
