Two Routes to Persuasion

Think of someone in your life whose words and ideas have had a profound effect on you, like a friend, a teacher, an employer, a member of the clergy, or a member of your immediate family; someone to use for this Discussion. This person may have said something once that really changed your thinking and attitudes about an issue, or perhaps this person influenced you after several conversations or lectures about the issue.

Chapter 5- Persuasion: Psychological Insights and Perspectives (2nd Ed).

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the person you chose and your relationship to him or her. Next, describe how he or she strongly influences you and discuss whether this person’s influence travels primarily through the central or peripheral route to persuasion. If central, how does this person motivate and allow you the ability to process the message? What is the strongest and weakest argument this person presents to you? If the route is mostly peripheral, explain why your motivation and/or ability to process the message are low. What positive source cue, heuristic, or other variable accounts for this person’s influence on you? Finally, explain whether this person’s influence on you is/was temporary or long lasting and why.

Discuss the Cold War Policy and Its Impact to US Society

/in /by

Background: After the Second World War, the US embarked on what came to be known as the Cold War against the Soviet Union. Although the two sides never fought against each other directly, the Cold War nonetheless erupted into violence at times in places like Vietnam, Korea, and Afghanistan. As the US grew more activist and interventionist in its foreign policy, the domestic government also grew in power and in its role in the people’s lives.

1500 Word paper karaweaver21

For this final formal essay, you’ll need to use the skills developed in critical response and rhetorical analysis to argue on a particular topic. To limit the range of possible topics, you must select a topic discussed by one of the essays in the back half of our OSU Custom Reader. After effectively summarizing one essay you’ve selected, you will then discuss the issue in that article and your position regarding that issue. The goal of this essay is to persuade an audience to adopt your point of view on the issue.

 Select an article that you find controversial or interesting. You’ll do a bit of research, but controversy and prior interest helps to fuel better exploration of the topic. 

You must have strong feelings on the issue discussed by the article. The essay requires that you argue for a position, which eliminates the possibility of offering no definite point of view on the subject.

 The issue must have reasonable disagreement regarding its causes. This means you must consider the opposing view in your essay. This is known as rebuttal and its function is to strengthen your argument.

 Here are a few basic elements your essay must include: Your essay should present a clear summary of the article you’re arguing for or against. Offer a clear thesis that states the author’s precise position on the subject.

 Your essay should be fair and academic in tone. (This means that you will use third person for the most part, but limited use of first person is acceptable) The essay must fairly present an opposing view on the subject and overcome this opposing point of view in the essay’s conclusion.

 Grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors should be minimal.

 Paragraphs should be well developed and well organized. They should include smooth transitions.  (THESE ARE THE REQUIRMENTS FOR THE ARGUING ESSAY)
