Week 4, DQ4: Which Persuasive Approach Is Best?
Consider a controversial issue that is of great importance to you, such
as K~12 education. Some believe that home schooling offers more a
diverse and safer option. Others favor privatization in the hopes that a
particular set of values can be instilled in students and that those who
are the best can distinguish themselves from the rest. Yet others
believe that public education is the best option for shared values and
broad-based socioeconomic uplift. The arguments are more complex,
but each position can be presented as a real world exercise in
persuasion.
Or, you could choose
gun control,
the privatization of military operations overseas,
a medical intervention or drug,
an expansion of public health care to citizens younger than 65,
university sports programs,
etc.
Identify two key audiences. What different persuasive approaches
would you use on these audiences? Should your approach differ? If
so, why? If not, why not?
RESPONSE 1
Audience #1 (NRA/Pro Guns)
Do you want to protect your family? Do you want to sleep at night
