  5. What is persuasion? A means of convincing people: • to buy a certain product • to believe something or act in a certain way • to agree with a point of view

  6. Persuasive Techniques • Often used in letters, editorials, articles, advertisements, and newspapers to influence the outcome of a situation or to sway someone to think as the writer does • Most successful when used with good solid facts to support the argument • It is always helpful to anticipate what questions will be asked or what opinions will be voiced that are different than yours

  7. When examining Persuasive Media/Text we MUST identify… • the technique being used • the intended audience • meaning • the influence on the audiences attitudes and actions • Author’s purpose (stated and implied) • the effectiveness of the technique that was used

  8. Common Persuasive Techniques often used in media/text • Repetition • Bandwagon • Testimonial • Emotional Appeal • False Authority • Faulty Reasoning

  9. Bandwagon • Persuading people to do something by letting them know others are doing it • Gives impression that you will be left out if you don’t do what you are being persuaded • Example: “See why so many women have switched” (Shampoo advertisement)

  15. Emotional Appeal • A person is made to have strong feelings about a situation or product • Words that will make you feel strongly about someone or something (fear, desire for success, excitement, being part of a group) • Example: Save the children ads, Sarah McLachlan's commercial supporting the ASPCA. ...

  16. Emotional Appeal • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO9d2PpP7tQ

  17. False Authority • Support of an authority figure instead of evidence or facts • False authority is misleading when the authority is not an expert in the field in which one is speaking • Example: Experts approve this product, so you should use it. Who are the experts?

  18. False Authority • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAVALXH9nxU

  19. Faulty Reasoning The writer reaches a conclusion from a limited number of facts. Look for words such as all, every, and always. Example: A Presidential supporter might say: “George W. Bush knows how to run the country because he’s a business man.  In fact, he’s the only President ever to have earned an MBA.” This argument assumes that a good business man will become a good president, and that a degree determines success as a business man.  Both assumptions are false.  This speaker owns the burden to prove that these statements are true in this case specifically (and that these connections are valid in general). using a biased, suspicious, or incredible source to defend a conclusion.
