Persuasive Campaign for a Hellcat
Background
If you want a fast car, yes, you could buy Tesla—but you wouldn’t be getting everything that goes with a fast car. You wouldn’t be getting the sound. You wouldn’t be getting the motor revving, driving your neighbors crazy every time you hit the gas pedal and hold with the stick in neutral just so you can hear the growl of a nice big V8 under the hood. A Tesla is not going to do that. A Tesla is an electric car. Yes, Tesla’s… Continue Reading...

Persuasive Strategies
Neither website actually aims to persuade. Both are designed to inform the public about health-related issues, with WebMD being more focused on diseases and conditions and Drugs.com stressing pharmacology and pharmacological interventions for diseases and conditions. Both websites persuade the public to consult with doctors before making any decisions based on what they read on the internet.
Technical Language and Jargon
WebMD aims to avoid jargon almost to the point of pandering to an undereducated American audience, oversimplifying many issues. Drugs.com has several layers to its discourse, avoiding… Continue Reading...
that youth offenders should receive smaller sentences on account of their youth). The argument is persuasive because it takes into consideration the idea that courts are there to pass judgment not to provide therapeutic intervention. Courts that try to do more than they are meant to simply make themselves unable to do the justice part and then they are completely ineffective.

such as a survivor of a school shooting given a persuasive appeal from personal experience.
Informative strategies are generally designed to win over neutral observers or potentially unfriendly observers. Information can be spread via social media or even personally on a one-to-one basis. An informative approach can be used by anyone in the role of advocate, spanning from individuals directly affected by the change (such as gun violence victims), to politicians communicating with constituents, to ordinary “people on the street” speaking to friends and family members.
Influencing is a more targeted approach. It is designed to specifically enact material changes,… Continue Reading...
not persuasive but objective and there are sections devoted entirely to medical professionals and researchers. The topics covered by the site are clearly organized, making it easy to navigate.

Therefore, the website does offer an abundance of accurate, credible information for each of the topic areas covered. Readers can confirm the veracity of any… Continue Reading...
auditor requires certain skills. An effective auditor is one who is inquisitive, analytical, resilient, persuasive, and an effective communicator, relationship builder, and team player. As mentioned earlier, the work of an internal auditor is to evaluate the truthfulness and accuracy of financial records. Fulfilling this role, therefore, requires one to be interrogative and to have critical thinking capabilities. Furthermore, auditing work can often be taxing, requiring one to be tough. The… Continue Reading...
As Neuschatz, Jones, McClung and Wetmore (n.d.) note, secondary confessions are viewed as “extremely persuasive evidence” (p. 2) even though they are the “leading cause of wrongful convictions in capital cases” (p. 3). What this shows, nonetheless, is that information acquisition is the most effective of the three recommendations. Knowing where information was acquired and how can be extremely important in the application of research on informant testimony. Secondary confessions are the perfect example of how this is so. They show that just because information sounds legitimate and valid and is quickly and easily embraced by juries, the information itself has to be considered… Continue Reading...
persuasive verve that would elevate When Memory Speaks to a level readers may find profound. Conway lays the foundation for future scholars to explore these issues more in depth, though. In the third chapter, “The Romantic Heroine,” Conway does delve deeper into the issues related to intersectionality, showing how feminism and abolitionism converged in the nineteenth century, evident in multiple literary genres but particularly in autobiography. In this chapter, Conway claims, “women have come up with life histories which seem complementary to those of men,” but fails to expound on… Continue Reading...
Sugar and fats
New probes have not been able to establish a persuasive connection between heart disease and saturated fats. To add on to that, other long-standing beliefs against fats have been dealt away with. There is a strong proof that low fat diets hardly work and taking the required quantity of fat aids in weight loss as well as helping the heart (Mosley para 3). It asserted that using fat in place of sucrose led to a noticeable improvement in the levels of serum triglyceride for individuals who are healthy, replacing starch with sucrose resulted to a huge improvement in the… Continue Reading...
persuasive tactics to sway the sensibilities towards his viewpoint. At its core, the letter is a tremendous justification for the methods, strategies and objectives of the Birmingham campaign, as architected by him, and of the greater Civil Rights Movement as a whole.
Another beacon of light that the letter provided was that King offered a fresh perspective on the myopic disapproval voiced by the clergymen in regards to the tensions manifested by the acts of non-violent resistance. King was able to offer a clear explanation of how they were attempting… Continue Reading...

Logical fallacies are everywhere, and can be surprisingly persuasive to those who are unaware of their existence. One logical fallacy is red herring, which throws in a random, unrelated idea to throw off the audience. For example, a recent article criticized the anti-gun protesters not because they were violent but because they were “rude to adults.” A more effective means of engaging the protesters would have been to have a reasoned argument based on their actual political points of view. Saying they were “rude” has nothing to do with the central argument, which is related to gun control.… Continue Reading...

issue involved (Pereira and Estramians 811). Some indication of the powerfully persuasive beliefs that essentialist views convey include worn-out axioms such as “the more things change, the more they stay the same,” “bad things happen in threes” and “spare the rod and spoil the child.” Likewise, these so-called essences also have some serious implications when it comes to long-standing social beliefs and stereotypes concerning marginalized groups due to the accentuation effect (Pereira and Estramians 811). For example, Pereira and Estramians advise that, “Essentialism may be understood as a subtle form of the accentuation effect. This effect provides the necessary basis for… Continue Reading...
are selfless, supportive, effective listeners, persuasive, and influential. Also, servant leaders are constructive, motivating, flexible, and noticeably committed to the growth of their followers (Northouse, 2013). These characteristics set apart servant leadership from other leadership styles.
Servant leadership is advantageous for a number of reasons. First, servant leaders build strong relationships with their followers (Neuschel, 2005). Due to their evident commitment to the needs of their followers, servant leaders gain the trust and confidence of their followers. With assurance that the leader is concerned about their wellbeing, followers reciprocate by portraying loyalty to the leader,… Continue Reading...
and David Hume are considered to be three of the most persuasive empiricists in philosophy. The key aspects that the philosophies of these three empiricists have are that knowledge develops from sensory experience. However, it is imperative to note that each of these three empiricists have their own views (Meyers, 2014).
To begin with, Locke repudiated the prospect of intrinsic ideas and that when an individual is born, his or her mind is blank. Therefore, Locke makes the argument that all notions come from experience and that devoid of such experience, reason does not have a benchmark for differentiating the truth… Continue Reading...
sharp intellect and his profoundly-persuasive and marvelous legal brain. The Justice's death sparked an instant, heated political battle within the Congress. While the Democratic Party called for the immediate nomination of another individual instead of leaving his post vacant for the succeeding President to appoint, important Republicans (presidential candidates, Mitch McConnell (the upper house's majority leader) and others) demanded the opposite. A well-informed spokesperson closely linked to the Obama government even anonymously imparted a list of the prospective candidates shortlisted by Obama (Knox, 2016), including DC circuit appellate court judge Sri Srinivasan; Georgetown professor… Continue Reading...
one, and initially appears persuasive. However, one can see that it is actually inaccurate, as it is, of course, more than possible to have a concept emerge in one area but take hold elsewhere. Contending that no genuine Australian or American culture exists merely because of their adoption of the English language (which they brought with them from a different continent) is a ridiculous argument. Cultural principles, values, theologies and other forms of cultural expression are transportable as well as flexible, and get altered, to some extent, in their new settings. Suggesting otherwise means… Continue Reading...
