Discussion

Think back to a time when someone (e.g., a relative, friend, politician, professor, an advertisement) was trying to persuade you to think or feel a certain way.

Using any three factors that influence persuasion (motivation of the listener, ability of the listener, personal relevance to the speaker, attractiveness of the communicator, credibility of the communicator, strong points, fear or other emotions, age of the audience, etc.), explain the degree to which you were persuaded. You have to weave in three factors that you think influenced your degree of persuasion (or lack thereof). 

Please bold the three factors as you weave them into your response.
