Persuasive Techniques: Types of Appeals
The persuasive messages that have made a lasting impression on you have probably been based on specific persuasive techniques, or methods, that were used to sway your heart and mind. Persuasive techniques can make a strong argument even more powerful. However, they can also disguise flaws in weak arguments because these techniques can lead to faulty reasoning. They Allstate Mayhem video is an example of appeal by loaded language. The Labron James commercial is an example of appeal by association. The SPCA commercial is an example of an emotional appeal.
