Bias Vs Persuasive Research Paper

Decent Essays
Well, I am not sure what the "official" definition of how bias essays compared to persuasive essays but I have my own definition that I think holds to be quite true overall. Bias writing is where the writer solely focuses upon the narrative that they desire but omit to mention any potential downsides to whatever their viewpoint. A persuasive essay, while written from a certain perspective on an issue or topic, will address such potential causes of concerns about the topic. While the differences may seem small but in actuality, they are quite different since one fully ignores the potential faults in order to push an idea while the other addresses them as valid and gives a response to such concerns.

Via social media, there are two ways to reach many people, write something incendiary and receive an influx of hate/support, or keep to non-political issues and focus on noncontroversial items. Social media are an overall distraction from important problems. The manipulation of the media can be entertaining, such as satirical sites like the Onion. But when other websites are less well-known, it can cause confusion and spread ignorance.…

    A persuasive speech is much different from an informative speech because with a persuasive speech you are trying to change the thought or beliefs of a person, whereas an informative speech is just meant to inform. First a topic must be selected, which should be controversial or something that you want a person to change their mind about. Next, you would define the purpose of the persuasive speech by determining whether you want to try and affect the audience’s attitude, beliefs, or values. Next, the central idea needs to be developed. In this case, you want your audience to agree with whatever statement your making.…
