Persuasive Speaking

A fine example of persuasive speaking is none other than a good ol' debate session. Recently I was out with my girlfriend when we started to debate if religion, is in fact man made or not. We sat down at that one 'mamak' shop being at loggerheads over this issue. Haha

There are many factors that either improve or mess up the level of persuasion in a person's speech. First off is structural techniques. Format, is very important when it comes to persuading a person. As example, you should choose an outline, a stand, that reaffirms your point and at the same time, relate to the other person you are talking to.

Furthermore, you have to lead your audience, in my case, my girlfriend, with logic. You have to create a series of logic in order for you to fully develop the potential of your argument.

Next, you have the factor of credibility. You need to cite facts and statistics in your argument as this is amongst the points that really hold water. Moreover, you need to document your references or statistics; Never leave your audience to question on where you had your facts from as this would lead them to question your argument all together.

I will try to include a transcript of the future debate between me and my girlfriend. Haha, she's a national debater, so yeah, things do get heated up.

Till then, check yourself before you wreck yourself !
