Advanced Writing for the Social Sciences
Write a 1 – 2 page response about a time you tried to persuade someone to see something the way that you see it.
This could be related to: parenting; an issue with a partner, spouse, or significant other; a professional scenario with a manager, boss, or employee; an argument or discussion with a friend around social or political issues, etc.
Include the following in your response:
What assertions did you make?
What examples did you use to back them up?
How did you explain how you saw the examples?
How did you reveal the lasting significance of the decision that you wanted your friend to make?
Did these components take a different form the next time you tried to persuade your friend to see a different subject in a new light?
