What Is An Example Of Enlighten

Decent Essays
The responsibilities that the enlightened have to society is to overcome the wave of stubbornness that they will receive from all those people that they would have to convince. They have to keep on trying to really alter their ways of thinking and maybe show some examples that what they’re saying is true. There are many examples of acts like this in history and today of people trying to share some new ideas or “enlighten” them.
One example of this act is Donald Trump running for President today. While he may not be the most “enlightening” person out out there, he is doing so a little bit. About six months to a year ago, everyone thought that this guy was nuts and either was not going to go far in this race or maybe quit early in the race.

    He not only breaks down his arguments into easy to navigate misperceptions but also will start each of the points off with the opposing argument. For example, before Ungar addresses how liberal arts is a good education path because it includes not only art but English, science, and math he explains how the STEM field is where everyone 's focus is at and how that is where you will be most successful. Although I have never seen this before I think this works to his advantage considering it gives you both views but only an explanation of the choice he is getting you to agree on. It also establishes credibility one again by having seen both sides of the argument. He poses the problem and then suggests a way around it.…

    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.
