There are people that I share the same views with when it comes to abortion. Through discussions we agreed conclusively to take the stand against abortion. In an event that I miraculously change my mind on the issue it can be quite a challenge to try and convince my audience who we previously shared the same perspective on the issue. The audience can react in varied ways first they might actually not accept that I am the one who has changed my views on the issue .they can ask numerous questions trying to find out if truly I am the one who holds the exact same views which are opposite to the views that I held before. Secondly they would like to know exactly who made me change my mind and hold the views that I am trying to convince them to accept. They would like to know exactly where and how this convincing was done since I was a firm advocator of the exact opposite of what I am trying to convince them to accept. They would like to know the exact words that were used to convince me so that they can see if the words are convincing enough to change the views that I held before.
Incase one finds an audience that is hostile when trying to talk to them there are various techniques that can be used to create interest with the audience without turning...
First one should know the audience and know exactly what their expectations are. When they are speaking the y should ensure that they put across a point using ideas or words that are acceptable with the audience. They should tell the audience what they want to hear and how they want to hear it. They should also use examples and references that the audience can identify with. This will ensure that the audience as though they are part of the ongoing talk and hence they will be welcoming and receptive to whatever the speaker tells them. They should also not be too rigid when it comes to conveying the message they should be free and give room for interaction with the audience. This will ensure that the audience feel comfortable and free with the speaker and hence will get everything the speaker intends them to since they can associate with the speaker comfortably. They should also ensure that they approach the audience politely and in a civilized manner. If any confrontations arise they should ensure that they remain calm. The
body language and non-verbal cues that they use should be understood well by the audience. All these will ensure that the hostile audience will remain calm and collected and get all they are intended to get from the speaker.
