Question 2
When having a persuasive conversation I tend to always use the problem and solution method. I mostly speak with my husband about things like that and him being a guy, tends to respond better to me giving him a problem and then a solution. He has no problem with debating it with me but in the end, I tend to persuade him that what I want to do is best. My reasoning seems to always work. It makes me wonder if my speech will be the same and if I will have the same ability to persuade my audience. I think that this speech will be by far the hardest of my life. I can only hope that my reasoning for knowledge of one's health can win over the audience. It's a topic that I am passionate about being in the healthcare field, so I want that to come through in my presentation.

What clicked for me is that I can use the persuasive tactics as you said for any conversation. I can use to persuade my manager, or I can even use to convince my teenage daughter why it's important to follow the curfew in the community of Rocklin. I need to keep it simple and to the point and develop three claims and present my conclusion. My claims must be credible; therefore, the next time I want to present an idea or suggestion to my supervisor, I will do so via e-mail and state my three claims, and present my suggestion.
ReplyDeleteI also like the problem and solution method in most cases. I think once your audience can see their is a problem, they will be eager to hear your solution. The key with your speech will be to convince the audience there is a problem first. Being passionate about your topic will definitely help you to be convincing because it will come through in your speaking. For me, when I am talking about something important to me, I tend to speak more from my heart, and less from my note cards. This can be a good an bad thing. My challenge will be to stay on point and use my sources. When your passionate you might want to share everything with your audience, but sometimes less is more.
ReplyDeleteProblem and solution is simple, but elegant. If you have the passion, you tend to have the knowledge, and you have the knowledge to support your argument the speech should come naturally, I am sure you will do great!. I think you should stick with what you are good at. If the problem and solution set up is what you use on a daily basis and you find that it is working for you then I wouldn't mess with it. I am going to attempt to use some different types of reasoning as a challenge for myself. My topic is important to me too, however I know that no matter how amazing I am the likely hood of anyone changing is fairly small so I am not stressing myself out about it.
ReplyDeleteI think that the example with you and your husband is the best. We have persuasive conversations almost every day, at work, at school, and not even giving too much attention to it. I wish next speech can be as easy as we persuade other people in our everyday life; yet I don't think that in a speech comes so natural, because in a speech we need to have everything organized to not confuse the audience. I am sure no one is planning to have a bad persuasive speech, so because of that I wish you and everyone else good luck!
ReplyDeleteI like how that you brought up the fact that your husband reacts better to a certain persuasion type. Everyone has their own persuasive type preference, for instance I like the use of analogies when someone is trying to persuade me since it makes their point more clear by comparing it to something that I already know. Others might prefer other reasoning types, so that is why it is very important to include several different types of persuasion methods since it will reach more of the audience. Using different persuasion techniques also keeps the speech from sounding repetitive and boring.
