Persuasive conversation analysis
1)
Which of the seven methods for grabbing audience attention did Niro use? (See week five’s micro-lecture for a gentle reminder.) (5 points)
Answer: Niro attracted attention with a scenario-based strategy. He explained a relevant scenario
of going shopping for dinnerware sets and shared Christopher Hsee's ingenious experiment.
2)
Was Niro’s attention grabber effective
? What specific suggestions do you have for improvement? Respond to both components of this question for full credit, even if you found it compelling. (5)
Answer: The attention grabber worked well because it presented an interesting experiment and included the audience in a well-known situation. But it's always subjective, so to boost interest, more tension or vivid storytelling aspects might be included.
3)
When did you decide Niro was credible, and what did he do to establish his credibility? (5)
Answer: By citing Christopher Hsee's experiment, calling it a brilliant one, and mentioning that he asked hundreds of pupils in his classroom—implying experience and implementation of the experiment's findings—Niro might build credibility.
4)
How did Niro relate his topic to you as an audience member? You may respond by citing content and or delivery. Provide two responses to this question AND
link one of your responses to emotional appeal (pathos). (5)
Answer: Content: By utilizing realistic examples, such as shopping scenes and a pharmaceutical advertisement, Niro made the issue familiar to the audience and made it easily accessible.
Emotional Appeal (Pathos): A pharmaceutical advertisement's discussion of possible hazards may arouse feelings associated with health-related worries, forging a bond through a common ground.
5)
How can you connect the content of Niro’s talk to the world? Provide two topical examples. (5)
Answer: Example 1: Decisions made in real life based on risk assessments affected by advertising might be related to the issue of the dilution effect in pharmaceutical advertisements.
Example 2: In a variety of situations, such as political debates, where the dilution effect may affect how individuals understand arguments, the idea of averaging in decision-making can be implemented.
6)
How does Niro move between and connect his main points? Cite one specific transition that appealed to you. (5)
Answer: Niro use transitions like "Let's exit the shopping center's aisles and enter a context..." to travel between locations with ease. This offers a distinct link between various sections.
7)
What does Niro want you to think, feel or do? What is the opposition to his argument? List two points of opposition. (5)
Answer: Intent: Niro wants the viewer to comprehend the diluting effect and how it affects communication. He wants the audience to make their arguments more about quality than quantity.
Opposition: Resistance to the notion that more reasons don't enhance a case and doubt regarding the generality of the diluting effect are two possible sources of disagreement.
8)
What did Niro add to the conversation? That is, what did you learn? (5)
Answer: By illuminating the dilution effect in decision-making and its application to communication, Niro enriches the discussion and emphasizes the value of quality over quantity in arguments.
9)
What motivational warrants
, evidence, and examples
(chapter 24, Constructing the Persuasive Speech) does he offer to support his position? List one of each. (5)
Answer: Motivational Warrant: Niro bases his actions on his desire to increase his communication influence.
Evidence: The diluting effect is supported empirically by the Christopher Hsee experiment. 10) Evaluate his conclusion. What worked? What did not? (5)
Answer: Niro effectively summarizes the main lesson in the end, highlighting the significance of strong arguments. It was effective in reiterating the primary point.
11) What will you take away from Niro’s conversation to help strengthen the argument, content, or delivery in your upcoming persuasive conversation? (Respond to this question based on what you feel Niro did well or what you found fault with.) (5)
Answer: The significance of concentrating on quality in arguments and paying attention to how information is presented is highlighted in Niro's speech, which may be used as a springboard to strengthen persuasive conversations. This lesson may be used to make persuasive talks stronger by highlighting important topics and avoiding dilution with unimportant information.
