    When we communicate, not only do we want other people to understand the message, but also we try to affect their beliefs or actions by using persuasion. Communication always involves at least one message, transmitted by a source, via a medium, to a receiver, within a situational context (Simons, 1976). Persuasion is a way of communication to influence other people to make them to do actions, pursue goals that they would have not otherwise. It differs from other ways to influence for three reasons: (1) it does not imply the use of force, but makes an appeal to the person’s free choices; (2) it claims that the goal or action proposed by the persuader is in the interest of the person being persuaded, and (3) it aims at influencing through communication…

    Writing a written argument is an act which many people recommend you master. The Toulmin method facilitates the way one analyzes an argument. Stephen Toulmin gives us the basics to this method which allows many people to respond to the argument given and also leads one to improve the argument made. Toulmin’s method invites one to examine the claim, reasons, qualifiers, evidence, warrant backing, rebuttals for any counter-arguments, and exceptions of an argument to decide the effectiveness of an argument.

    Persuasion There have been many times that I have tried to persuade a group of people to a particular person to agree with on subjects ranging from petty things like where to eat to important topics like religion, But I’m not going to get that heavy so early in the course but I’ll start with something light. This is how I tried to persuade to my group of high school friends why the Beatles are/were the best band. The main point of my argument was that the Beatles are the best band of all time based on what they accomplished in barely one decade to popular music and their lasting effect on musicians to this day. The points that I made were how they influenced so many people to get into music like Ozzy Osborne, Dave Grohl and all the members of 311.…
