Second Writing Topic

2.Argument today in my opinion has become much more of a thing that people do for fun. Friends will call eachother bad names when they see eachother for the mere fun of it, couples will play fight with eachother because they are comfortable with eachother. Fake arguing has become almost a term of endearment. It releaves stress and lets the other person kow that in actuality you are very far from argueing with them. You just have to acknowledge what is sarcasim and humor from what is seriousness and opposition. TV is a whole different ballpark. People with TV shows will only talk to people who they can plan out an argument that will in fact support their own agendas in the end. All TV is basically staged, whether they are fighting or getting along, everything that is said is all for their own mtovies.
4. Persuasion in my communty to me is done every day by politicians and political activists. They seem to be exactly what this question is asking. They all give speeches and hold fun raisers all designed to get the community to join their side of whatever argument they are fighting for or against that day. Persuasion is done on a smaller scale by everyone in every language. A boyfriend will try to convince a girlfriend on what they should watch and eat that night by giving her a list of the pros and cons of each of their possibilities . A Christian will try to convince basically everyone they meet everyday that they should go to their church by simply telling them they are going to hell if they don't. Adds on TV try to convince the public to stop smoking or eating unhealthy foods by exagerating what might happen to you if you don't. It is simply done by everyone everyday.
