Problem
I. Using tactics discussed in our class, especially the rhetorical triangle, convince me why I should support a specific non-profit organization of your choosing.
II. Consider the following argument: I'm too busy to volunteer in the community. I am in school, have a job, and have other obligations to fulfill.
Regardless of your personal stance, discuss why this argument is flawed based on the concepts of our class. Be sure to consider logical fallacies, the rhetorical triangle, and concepts from our textbook.
III. In our textbook, Cialdini discusses several "Weapons of Influence." One of those weapons is reciprocation. First, define reciprocation. Then, consider this scenario and answer the question below.
You are a small business owner looking for someone to manage your social media accounts. During the interview process, you find someone who is willing to provide you a free consultation and 30 days of free management of your social accounts before requiring payment. Based on the concept of reciprocation, why might this strategy (from the social media manager) be effective? Why are you more likely to work with this individual than another?
IV. Define the elaboration likelihood model. What are the three main aspects of ELM? What are the two main paths that persuasion can be communicated? Provide an example that illustrates this.
