1. a. Overall, Henry Fonda’s style of persuasion was to adhere to his own, and each of the jury’s, reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty of murdering his father. He leads by persuasion through a method of inquiry – asking questions, raising doubts and undermining the certainty of the other jurors. Fonda’s leadership style displays emotional intelligence, which includes self-awareness, discipline, persistence and empathy. It is a style that mobilizes the jurors toward a shared vision by pointing in a direction of not guilty and inviting the other jurors to participate in discovering the best way to arrive at a decision. b. Fonda’s character does a good job executing some of the four essential steps in persuasion, described by the article “The Necessary Art of Persuasion,” including framing for common ground, providing evidence, and connecting emotionally. Fonda frames for a common ground in several instances. He creates a common ground for one of the jurors when he describes how the defendant grew up in the slums. While the other jurors are quick to find the defendant guilty because of where he comes from, there is one juror who can relate to the boy, as he also grew up in the slums, and took offense to the immediate judgments of the other jurors based on that fact alone. Fonda also framed for common ground by relating the age of the old man who lived below the defendant to the elderly juror of the bunch. This helped him move into another essential step: providing evidence. Fonda was able to provide evidence, maybe not hard evidence, but reasonable evidence that things may not have happened the way they were testified in court. For example, the old man who lived below the boy and his father claimed to have heard the fal... ... middle of paper ... ... she would pay what her terms entailed. This resulted in a mutual benefit for both parties. A contingent contract could have been incorporated in the Miti-Pet dispute in order to help resolve their issues. For example, my group was able to make an agreement with Rawmat, since we were unsure they would meet our quality requirements, that if they did not, we would be compensated for any damages as a result of those unmet quality specifications. Also, we agreed to an initial six-month contract for wheat flour, that, if by the end of the term we were satisfied with the results, we would agree to a long-term, minimum 80,000-ton purchase agreement. This satisfied our need for quality product and guaranteed no loss for us if we received otherwise and it also satisfied Rawmat’s need for business in their existing area of meat flour and their new venture area in wheat flour.

Thesis: The allure of the New Age can be attributed in part to an overall lack of understanding its nature; when its history is taken into consideration and its persuasive element is exposed, we see that, contrary to the assumption that the New Age is a freer alternative to mainstream religion, persuasion is a very present part of the New Age.

According to Merriam Webster, the term “ethical” can be defined as “rules of behavior based on ideas about what is morally good and bad.” Being able to differentiate between what is good, and what is bad is key when it comes to many things. One of these things includes persuasion. There are many concepts that can explain why certain principles of persuasion can be more ethical than others, and many that are critical to being an ethical communicator. Said concepts are explained in Rothwell’s text, In the Company of Others, Robert Cialdini and Steve Martins video, Science of Persuasion, and Stephen Carter’s text, Integrity.

Furthermore, juror 8 used his ACES to help the other jurors cross the creek (Budjac Corvette, 2007, p.
Someone persuades you over 400 times a day, 2,800 times a week, and 145,600 times a year. You may give in to some attempts and hold back on others. There is, however, an incredible power behind the things that you do give in to.
