OVERVIEW:
Persuasion is a constant in each of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or whom we interact with, we inevitably encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Media outlets sometimes want to convince us of how we should feel about events. We are out into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of persuasion.
Persuasion writing is a powerful form of writing- it can influence thoughts and has the ability to change minds about an issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal tool for supporting an opinion on an issue using researched facts and information. It also gives you, as a writer, the chance to recognize an opposing viewpoint and refute it, nothing that many of those people who hold that opposing viewpoint are the intended audience of the piece.
