The Importance of Persuasive
Speech
In this day and age, it seems the everybody is trying to persuade
everybody else. Whether it is in order to buy specific products, try
out the newest craze, or join a political movement, persuasion is
the name of the game. Whatever field of profession one plans to
join in the future, it is an essential skill to be able to persuade
someone. Although most people nowadays try to persuade using
emotional means, it is to be able to use logic and reasoning to
persuade as well.
 The Basic of Argumentation

The ordinary expectation of an argument is an action that involves

strong words, possibly matched with violent acts.However,this
appreciation cannot be farther from the truth. In fact, a well-reasoned
argument is not based on violence at all, but one that is based on logic
and evidence.
 Three Features of Argument

 An argument is composed of three features:Assumption,Evidence,and

Explanation.

Assumption- in an opinion that needs evidence to back it up.Hence,saying

that the word is round is not an assumption, it is fact. It is not an opinion that
asks for evidence, because it has already proven and considered to be true
by all account.However,the opinion that the women should be given the right
to an abortion is an assertion that needs facts to support it.To do so,would be
to look at laws,jurisprudence,and documents from united nations, or similar
institutions. There are times when there can be shifts in ideology, rendering
what were once considered facts into matters of opinion and vice versa.
 Evidence- can be any of the following: concrete facts and figures: a
philosophical ideology agreed upon to be true by everyone, and anecdotal
evidence. The strongest bodies of evidence are based on facts and
figures, and it is important to that they are true and come from reliable
sources. One cannot expect to get facts from memes, dodgy blogs, and
fake news sources. It is best to get facts from newspapers and academic
journals, or their digital counterpants.The weakest among the three would
be anecdotal evidence, as this can be an exaggeration of the speaker, or
even an outright lie.
 Explanation- tells the audience why the evidence supports the
assumption. It should be clear and concise, and the relationship between
the evidence and the assumption must not commit any logical fallacies.
For example, when it comes to the earlier assumption, that all states
should observe human rights for its citizens, the fact that this is enshrined
in the United Nations Commissions for Human Rights (UNCHR) might not
be enough for some people.Therefore,in order to be more persuasive, one
must explain where this came from, that it was a post-World War II
measure to ensure that the evils of the Nazi Holocaust would not be
repeated in the world. A stronger explanation would go to the premises of
the argument and analyze this point by point, in order to make the
audience fully understand the argument in the end, an arguments'
persuasive power is not found solely on logical grounds. It is important to
remember that one is trying to convince human beings with emotions, and
not cold, unfeeling robots, which is why it is always best to add the
persuasive powers of pathos and ethos in an argument, aside from those
that stem from logos.
