Person Is Entitled to Their

¶ … person is entitled to their own opinion on some issues. Trying to change a person's belief, intentions, attitudes or thoughts on the opinion that one holds on an issue is known as persuasion. This can be done through the use of written words, spoken words so as to make known one's feelings or reasoning on the issue. The opinion on that particular issue can be very strong such that trying to persuade someone to change their mind on their opinion and hold the contrary opinion can be a very difficult task. Whether or one is persuaded depends on how the person trying to persuade another expresses themselves and if they are convincing enough. It also depends on how strongly the person being convinced holds their opinion on the issue in question.

Personally I am very much against abortion. Anyone who tries to convince me otherwise has an uphill task ahead of them. My first reaction to the speaker will be ignoring them since I know very well that what they want to talk to me about I am very much against and nothing they can say or do can convince me otherwise I can therefore choose to completely block them out and consider them non-existent to me.i will act as though what they are speaking is gibberish to me since I know very well that whatever they say or do can not make me change my mind about the issue of abortion. There are instances where one can encounter very convincing and persuasive speakers who can do anything just to get one's attention. If I encounter such a speaker who is aggressive and by chance manages to capture my attention maybe due to the approach they used to get my audience then I will ask them to give me their main reason for holding this opinion.

I will give them time to fully explain themselves without any interruption. This will enable me to get enough of their basis of arguments which I will use together with my arguments to defend my stand. I will then respond thoughtfully to the speaker, after listening to what they have said I will weigh their arguments against my personal views on the issue. I will then ask the speaker to give me time to also express myself on the same issue. I will then clearly point out the reasons as to why I am against abortion and let them know that nothing they have said has changed my mind on the issue or can change my mind regardless of the number of times they repeat their arguments. I will ensure that I let them know that no matter how many reasons they give to support the argument I can never or will never change my mind on the issue. Finally I will give them my final stand as a closing remark which will indicate that even if we meet in a different scenario they will remember me and clearly know what I stand for when it comes to the issue of abortion.

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.
