Persuasion is everywhere. Literally. Everywhere. Honestly, it is way more common to encounter something that is persuasive rather than to encounter something that is trying to be impartial. Whether it is an election or an advertisement, we are always trying to be convinced of one thing or another. I currently work at Bel Air and there is a potential to strike. People on the side of the union and the opposing side of Raley’s are constantly trying to convince all of us employees to think one way or the other about whether the strike is a good idea or not. Whether it’s a manager, a union representative or a coworker, everyone has an opinion on the contract negotiations. When you’re being presented with seemingly valid arguments for either side of a problem constantly, it can be really hard to much through the propaganda and get to the core of the issue and find out what is true and what is not.
