Persuasive approaches are different depending on the relationship you have with your audience. For a challenging person I would have to use a presentation of facts. I would have to prove my point by using logos and supporting it with facts, studies, reports and credible resources that support the information presented. A challenging person will already have their perception of a situation for subject and to persuade them I would need proof not just my own opinion.…
This paper will be giving an explanation about the six different fundamentals of Cialdini's research and how these methods apply to the many aspects of the business side of the world.

Persuasion holds place in almost every niche in our societies. Whether in politics, marketing, or public awareness and education programs, the elements of persuasion will always be indirectly or directly present in any society. Persuasion works because it appeals to different emotions and beliefs that are common among the targeted audiences (Walton 54). It hit right where it should and therefore gets results. When the Bush administration decided to invade Iraq, they used one of the most successful tactics in persuasion; fear. They made the public believe that they are under threat and that Saddam Hussein will use weapons of mass destruction against the American people. The result was a wide approval by the congress and most of the public to invade Iraq.…

Persuasion is extremely important in ethical behavior. It is what mothers use to teach their children to make the right decisions. It can also be used by drug users to convince the insecure teen to try a drug for the first time, in order to fit in with the crowd. Persuasion can be life saving or deadly.…
Persuasive thinking is the thought process that is trying to influence someone to accept a message (Kirby & Goodpastor, 2007). This type of thinking is extremely too difficult to master, but when done well can be very effective. The main points to consider when using this type of thinking an individual must understand; human nature, emotions, and think carefully before attempting to get someone to accept a message. An individual must also be aware of the time and the place the message is being communicated, and understands his or her involvement in the message it’s self. Most important, the message being conveyed must be understood, the audience, and the audiences’ values. A thinker that can understand all of these complex pieces of persuasive thinking will be successful at getting the people they are attempting to persuade to accept his or her message.…
Establishing a credible character is especially important when it comes to character. It would be impossible to persuade a colleague or customer if one's credibility was damaged from a previous experience. One way to partially restore that credibility would be to apologize for any mistakes that have been made. Again, credibility is a necessity when it comes to persuasion messages. The ultimate goal of a persuasion message is to influence a person to believe in the same idea as you. Weak credibility typically means that you are untrustworthy which would affect your ability to change a person's perception. Additionally, it is important to strongly development your idea before sharing the message. A speaker is more likely to persuade an audience…
Hello this is Lee Dong Wook in South Korea and we are the, ¨Blue Bubbles.¨…
1. Suppose you were an attorney representing a woman who broke her leg in a department store and was suing the store for $100,000 in damages. Knowing only what you know about perceptual contrast, what could you do during the trial to make the jury see $100,000 as a reasonable, even small, award?…
When trying to persuade my boss I believe it is important before you say anything, make sure you have valid facts and information you are going to present to be persuaded. You have to make sure you know exactly what you are talking about and be prepared to answer any questions the boss you will have. This makes it easier to “sell” yourself. When I’m trying to persuade a peer I use a combination of facts and emotions. I initially sell myself with the facts just like the boss, know what I’m talking about and then I follow with emotion. I use the emotion to remind them…
Jane Austen’s book Persuasion is a classical literature. At the time it was published in 1816, Persuasion was a well known and loved novel in England. Throughout the book Jane Austen shows a theme of women inequality. This happened back then and still occurs even today.…
I believe that authority can be used very well in school and the workforce as one continues to gain experience and knowledge. As I continue to gain experience with programming I can network with my peers, gaining references I can use whenever I or someone else is in need of work. As presented to us in the video Science of Persuasion by Cialdini, D, and Martin, S customer confidence is boosted when having a friend or assistant present credentials, accomplishments, or experience prior to speaking to them. This could be incredibly useful since I could create connections now in a learning environment and if someone has a problem I could be referenced to help connecting with another element of persuasion reciprocity.…
Although our stories might not seem that similar, we both had the experience of taking a leap of faith into the unexplored and the results justified the action. Based on our decisions, one can see that persuading someone with an personal connection to you proves easier than persuading someone without it because it adds emotion to the situation. For example, you wanted to show your best friend that you cared about her, as did I to my brother. It also helps when the alternative is not as desirable as the option that you are being convinced to take, e.g., a sleepless night would not be as much fun as one spent driving with a friend to see your best friend. Persuasion seems to be most effective when it can not only appeal to the logical side of…
