COMMUNICATIVE PURPOSIVE
Communication for Various Purposes, Informative Communication,
Persuasive Communication

ACTIVITY:

1. Explain three of the types of informative communication.

A. Information about Processes - This merely explains a communication that

depicts the perceptible formation of things and on how they are interpreted.

B. Information about Concepts - Explores additional insight, conceptions,

assumptions, and principles that could lead to fresh view points.

C. Information about Events - Logically demonstrates programs of a new

model or office operations.

2. Write a discussion of the reasons why persuasion should not be

coercive and must be incremental.

Persuasion requires understanding. Coercion requires only power. We

usually equate coercion with obvious force, but sometimes it’s far more subtle.
Both are still coercive in that the power to give or take away resides entirely in the
hands of the “coercer.”

Persuasion is fundamentally different because it relies on understanding

what smoking does to the human body. Someone who’s persuaded of its
dangers has an incentive to stop that’s entirely independent of anyone else’s
actions.

3. Differentiate: convincing vs. actuating and direct vs. indirect

persuasion.

A. Convincing – Convincing is when you want someone to believe to what

you’re saying

B. Actuating - You are actuating when you instruct somebody else what they
should do

C. Direct Persuasion - Is the type of persuasion that connects you to your point
of view on a specific topic or with whom you share your thoughts.

D. Indirect Persuasion - Really doesn't publicly express its own point of view,
confronts or criticizes users' which was like before points of view, or creates a
persona that represents people who already agree with the message.
