...PHI 105 Types of Communication Matrix When communicating your critical thinking about a concept, you choose how to present it to your audience. To explore this further, we will look at three ways to communicate: informative, explanatory, and persuasive statements. A quality persuasive essay includes a mixture of informative, explanatory, and persuasive statements because to persuade someone you must: Inform people about the topic Explain your argument, and Convince your audience of your point of view. Complete the following matrix by: Choosing a concept (different from the topic of your persuasive essay) and writing it first as an informative statement, second as an explanatory statement, and third as a persuasive statement. An example has been provided for you in the Matrix. Provide examples from your persuasive essay of one informative statement, one explanatory statement, and one persuasive statement (all areas in green should be complete before submitting). Concept Informative Explanatory Persuasive Baseball (Example) Baseball is a sport. In baseball, infielders should creep toward the batter during the pitch because it is easier to react when in motion. Quality pitchers are more important than power hitters, because keeping runs off the board could give the pitcher’s team more opportunity win.

...rhetorical skills to inspire others to work harder or feel inspired or change their attitudes or beliefs. A motivational speaker uses a random number of persuasive speech tactics to motivate his audience to take such actions. A reformed drug addict can inspire teenagers to prevent drug abuse, for example, or a former managing director, the company can now talk to the vendors to boost morale. The ultimate goal of an effective motivational speaker is to convince his audience to do some kind of personal or professional change in themselves. A former New York detective named David Toma is perhaps one of the most recognized motivational speakers in the United States. Toma personally witnessed the devastating effects...

...hemisphere is dominant, the student is characterized by better memory and retrieval of direct facts (angelfire, 2011).This means even in exams and tests based on curriculum, such people are in a better position to pass as they can fully and clearly understand instructions as well as retrieve what they have learnt easily and accurately (Paradiso, Bears & Connors, 2007). Talking of accurate calculations and estimates means better reasoning and number skills. Most of the time, such persons are good logical or sequential thinkers full of rationality. In discussions or argumentative expressions, these persons are good in persuasive skills especially when combined with their language skills. In terms of language, these persons are better off in the use of vocabularies and with the use of grammar (Beals, 2009). They are usually fluent and are good in speeches forming most of the eloquent speakers (Paradiso, Bears &...

...RE: Determination of Whether the Bridge School Owed Al-Fulani, its student, a Duty of Care I. Introduction Kahlil Al-Fulani (“Al-Fulani”) is a 20-year-old Lebanese-American student who currently attends the Bridge School. On September 21, 2001 Lou Gaines (“Gaines”), a fellow student, assaulted Al-Fulani in an unsupervised school lounge. This memorandum addresses whether the Bridge School owed a duty of care to prevent Gaines’s assault on Al-Fulani. A court will likely conclude that the Bridge School owed a duty of care to Al-Fulani because of its special relationship with him and because the harm was foreseeable. II. Question Presented Whether the Bridge School owed Al-Fulani a duty of care given the school’s supervisory responsibility over student conduct and surroundings, knowledge of Gaines’s targeted harassment of Al-Fulani and recent wave of national violence towards Arab-American students after the World Trade Center attack, and Al-Fulani’s age? III. Brief Answer A court will likely conclude that the Bridge School owed Al-Fulani a duty of care. The law imposes a duty of care on schools when (1) a special relationship exists between the school and student and (2) the harm is foreseeable. Leger v. Stockton Unified Sch. Dist., 202 Cal. App. 3d 1448, 1453-54 (1988). A special relationship between a school and student is created when a school assumes the responsibility to supervise the conduct and control the environment of students, who do not do behave...

...extraordinary performance levels from its staff. For example, a business manager imbued with charismatic leadership could be enlisted to orchestrate a turnaround or launch a new product line.Charisma is really a process – an interaction between the qualities of the charismatic leader, the followers and their needs and identification with the leader, and the situation that calls out for a charismatic leader, such as a need for change or a crisis. But when it comes to the charismatic qualities of leaders, the emphasis is on how they communicate to followers and whether they are able to gain followers’ trust, and influence and persuade them to follow. Most politicians, particularly on the national scene, have developed their ability to communicate effectively – to make speeches, “work the room” with potential donors and supporters, etc. So many seasoned politicians have a lot of “personal charisma.” This paper comes up with an essay providing a detailed analysis and discussion charismatic leadership, with respect to such fundamental aspects like characteristic of charismatic leaders, the merits and demerits of charismatic as a leadership approach, where it can be applied, as well as relevant examples of people who have...

...last fifty years. Americans are more addictive to eat out instead of preparing healthy food at home and they continue eating unhealthy food although it may contribute diabetes, cancer and heart diseases. How come the obesity epidemic grown so fast and getting out of control? How come the parents feeding their children with processed foods with higher sugar, fat and calories - Is it the children who decide what to eat? Children are acting on their instincts and if they see an advertising on the TV for McDonalds with the Ronald McDonald clown and the happy meal with free toy, they want to go to McDonalds because most children under age 6 cannot distinguish between programming and advertising and children under age 8 do not understand the persuasive intent of advertising. Research has found strong associations between advertising for non-nutritious foods and rates of childhood obesity. It might be difficult for parents to keep their...

...attacking public figures, as he has so often done." Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes's classic example of unprotected speech—falsely shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater—has been invoked so often, by so many people, in such diverse contexts, that it has become part of our national folk language. It has even appeared—most appropriately—in the theater: in Tom Stoppard's play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead a character shouts at the audience, "Fire!" He then quickly explains: "It's all right—I'm demonstrating the misuse of free speech." Shouting "Fire!" in the theater may well be the only jurisprudential analogy that has assumed the status of a folk argument. A prominent historian recently characterized it as "the most brilliantly persuasive expression that ever came from Holmes' pen." But in spite of its hallowed position in both the jurisprudence of the First Amendment and the arsenal of political discourse, it is and was an inapt analogy, even in the context in which it was originally offered. It has lately become—despite, perhaps even because of, the frequency and promiscuousness of its invocation—little more than a caricature of logical argumentation. The case that gave rise to the "Fire!"-in-a-crowded-theater analogy—Schenck v. United States—involved the prosecution of Charles Schenck, who...
