In hopes of helping my friend, the type of reasoning I used was causal reasoning. This is where one action results in another. For this specific occasion I informed her (reminded actually because she already knows this) that having bad sleeping habits and not having proper rest will result in incapability to function at a prime level, hence not doing well in school. She understood that rest is a big factor that must be worked on because she certainly does not want to be tired and risk doing poorly on her academics. I believe my reasoning worked because she agreed to try to implement more sleep. But, people make promises all the time and break them. She may just decide that there is too much studying and homework that need to be done so cutting back on sleep will have to be a sacrifice. Its understandable in some circumstances, but one should always strive to get good rest regularly.
Remember fellow students and everyone else on the web who might read this, brain restoration and memory consolidation occur during sleep. So, if you're trying to remember the information that you've been studying all day long, go to bed at a decent hour instead of staying up late to study more; your brain will amass all the studying you've worked hard on so you can quickly recall it when needed.
There are a lot of things that make sense when someone starts to talk about the the 4 types of appeals. I think the best one with the most obvious advantage is the "Pathos: Appeals to Emotion". All you have to do is look at the past election season. That's all any of the candidates tried to convince you to vote for them. They wanted to appeal to your feelings to sway you to votinga certain way. This seems to be the quickest and simplest way. We are an emotional society and do more in the name of emotion than anything else. We can't help it when our emotions are taped. I think when I give my speech, I'll try to tape into this category.e 4 types of appeals make sense.
ReplyDeleteIt's sometimes necessary to persuade for someones good. I like how you can advise your friend without making her feel like she is doing something wrong or failing in something. I think that a lot of people get confused with that and instead of advising, they command. My mother likes to advise me on my daily nutritional intakes however the way she does it doesn't make me feel like listening because I feel like she is accusing me of something and I automatically get into defense mode. Whenever advising someone, I try not to make them feel bad about themselves. People will listen more and take your advise when you are level with them and don't try to sound better than them in it.
