Persuasive Speaking
Chapter 18
Foundations of Persuasion & Persuasion: An Overview
Persuasion: An Overview
Richard Perloff’s Five Reasons Studying Persuasion is ImportantThe sheer number of persuasive communications has grown exponentially.Persuasive messages travel faster than ever before.Persuasion has become institutionalized.Persuasive communication has become more subtle and devious.Persuasive communication is more complex than ever before.
What Is Persuasion?Persuasion: An attempt to get a person to behave in a manner, or embrace a point of view related to values, attitudes, and or beliefs, that he or she would not have done otherwise.
Change Attitudes, Values, and BeliefsAttitude: An individual’s general predisposition toward something as being good or bad, right or wrong, or negative or positive.Value: An individual’s perception of the usefulness, importance, or worth of something. We can value a college education or technology or freedom.Beliefs: Propositions or positions that an individual holds as true or false without positive knowledge or proof.Core beliefs: Beliefs that people have actively engaged in and created over the course of their lives (e.g., belief in a higher power, belief in extraterrestrial life forms).Dispositional beliefs: Beliefs that people have not actively engaged in, but rather judgments that they make, based on their knowledge of related subjects, when they encounter a proposition.
Change in BehaviorBehaviors come in a wide range of forms, so finding one you think people should start, increase, or decrease shouldn’t be difficult at all.For example, speeches encouraging audiences to vote for a candidate, sign a petition opposing a tuition increase, or drink tap water instead of bottled water are all behavior-oriented persuasive speeches.
Why Persuasion Matters
Frymier and Nadler’s Three Reasons to Study PersuasionWhen you study and understand persuasion, you will be more successful at persuading others.When people understand persuasion, they will be better consumers of information.When we understand how persuasion functions, we’ll have a better grasp of what happens around us in the world.
Why it’s Important Ethically to Understand PersuasionWe believe that persuasive messages that aim to manipulate, coerce, and intimidate people are unethical, as are messages that distort information.As ethical listeners, we have a responsibility to analyze messages that manipulate, coerce, and/or intimidate people or distort information.We also then have the responsibility to combat these messages with the truth, which will rely on our skills and knowledge as effective persuaders.
Theories of Persuasion
We often find ourselves in situations where we are trying to persuade others to attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors with which they may not agree.
To help us persuade others, what we need to think about is the range of possible attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors that exi.

2. Review of the past lesson
Philosophical Reflection
is the act of giving time to think about meaning and purpose of life
an important human activity in which people recapture their
experiences, think about it, mull over and evaluate it
it is a form of experience
3. • You have been saving your allowance in order to buy a new pair of
fashion shoes, but your mother is asking you to give your savings
for your brother to buy materials for his project.
Possible Question
Is a new pair of shoes worth it?
How do you apply broad perspective to the situation?
Think what is more worth it and important. The fashion shoes are
always there and you can save again to buy a new pair of shoes.
4. Objective:
• Define opinion and truth;
• Discover the nature of truth in terms of beliefs and statements;
• Value the importance of knowing opinion from truth in daily life
situation.
5. How do we know if something is true?
Philosophers emphasize the importance of belief as a basis
for determining truth. Something is true if it can be justified or
proven through the use of one’s senses; it is based on facts; it is a
product of agreement and consensus; and it can be applied in real
life (tested and verified).
6. Domains of Truth
Philosophy has been aware that the truth remains to be
question for thousand years now. To narrowly confine truth
aside of scientific way of thinking, there are domains in life in
which we understand truth differently.
7. 1. Objective Domain
These are the scientific truths of life. This pertains to the
natural world that maintains a relative independence from the
perspective and attitude of human beings that perceive them. Truth
understood to the description of “state of affairs” which remain true
regardless of who is viewing it.
Example:
Water boiling point remains 100 degree Celsius, regardless of
who you are, you will be agreed to this kind of truth unless it is
contradicted of another empirical evidence.
8. 2. Social Domain
- in this domain truth is analogous with (not the exact
equivalent) of a general agreement or consensus of what is right a
opposed to what is wrong. Mostly a product of agreement in the society
that has been established overtime. These truths are created and
constructed by the people so it can be changed through a critical
examination and deliberation among members of a community.
Example:
Muslim traditions of having more wives. For Christian
community it is a taboo to have more than one wife, but not in Muslim
Custom. A male Muslim is allowed to marry two or more as long as he
sustain the needs of his growing families.
9. 3. Personal Domain
- truth in this domain is analogous with sincerity. The truth
that claim in this domain need corresponding actions that will
established trust. A person who proves to be consistent with what
he declares about himself is regarded as authentic and therefore
can be trusted.
Example:
When someone says, “I love you”, to his girlfriend. How
would one know that this is true? Dating and giving gift is not
enough. True love, as the adage goes, is tested by time and efforts.
10. What is an opinion?
Generally, an opinion is a judgement, viewpoint, or a
statement that is considered to be subjective. It could refer to
thoughts, beliefs, feelings and estimates with no evidence or
reasoned judgement to support it. For Dr. Rhonda Dubec (2019),
an opinion is what a person believe or think about something or
any subject.
It is a view that represents the outlook of an individual,
which may or may not be based on fact. Opinions are comprised of
statements which not only give facts but also provide conclusion or
perspectives regarding certain situations. Opinions are also the
bases for making arguments and convincing people that a certain is
fact. Opinions can’t be proven as that it is true or false. Because
everyone has their own viewpoint and opinions based on their
mindset.
12. It is very essential to distinguish truth from opinion because
apart from the fact the latter has no objective grounds, opinions could
also mislead us. They have the potential to influence public view just
to conform to a specific agenda. Their main goal is to achieve a
desired outcome rather than to promote what is the truth.
Whether the statement is a fact or an opinion depends on its
validity. The following are some differences between truth and
opinion:
1. Truth is a statement that can be verified or proved with the help of
evidence or empirical data while an opinion is an expression of
judgement or belief on any particular subject.
13. 2. Truth heavily relies on fact, while opinion depends on assumption
and perception.
3. Generally, truth is an objective reality and has universality in
nature, while opinion is purely subjective reality.
4. Truth are useful to make information or make an argument, while
opinions are used for persuasion.
14. Application
Activity 1. Make your own analysis of the following statements.
1. It takes one day to recognize if a man loves a woman.
2. Living near the school is better because we do not have to
spend much money for transportation.
3. The color of the snow is white.
4. My sister is a selfish person because she ate the last piece of
pizza and didn’t share it with me.
5. The aggressive manner by which the police arrested the
suspect is an example of brutality that characterizes our police
force.
