There are two overall goals of persuasion:
1. To address attitudes
2. Move an audience to action
What is a persuasive speech?
A persuasive speech delivers messages to people in order to alter, strengthen, or maintain attitudes, beliefs, values, or behaviors.

41. Persuasive Aims
When you want your audience to start doing something, your goal is to urge the audience to adopt a key idea or plan. Example-A spokesperson for the American Cancer Society would say... “I urge every woman over the age of 40 to get a regular checkup.” She is persuading women to do this.

42. More Persuasive Aims:
If your audience is already doing the thing you want them to do, you urge continuance. “I urge all of you to continue to be smoke free for the rest of your life.”

43. More Persuasive Aims:
You attempt to persuade your listeners to stop doing something. “I can tell by looking around the room that many people spend hours sitting in the sun. There is a direct connection between exposure to the sun and skin cancer.”

44. Even More Persuasive Aims:
You want to convince an audience not to start something. “We have found that exposure to asbestos can cause cancer. If you have flaking asbestos insulation in your home, don’t remove it yourself.”

2. WHAT UNUSUAL OR UNIQUE EXPERIENCES HAVE YOU HAD?
