•Argumentative speeches and persuasive speech can be the same.

•They are similar because both have the same purpose .. TO MAKE AN INFLUENCE !

•They only differ in Style !

Miss.Mona AL-Kahtani

An argument is about an issue which people, quite reasonably, hold different views. It means other views are not necessarily wrong - just different.

During your argument, you recognize that opposing views exist, to give you the opportunity to refute these views tactfully in order to show why you feel that your own view is the more worthy one to hold.

Miss.Mona AL-Kahtani

Persuasion has a more single-minded

goal. It is based on a personal

conviction that a particular

way of thinking is the only sensible

way to think.

As a result, you argument is expected

to be more personal, one-sided, and

passionate.

Miss.Mona AL-Kahtani

The Greeks were famous for their

teaching and learning as well as

their arguing and persuasion. They

called the art of using language

persuasively rhetoric and, still

today, any use of language that

makes it seem more powerful is

called rhetorical language. Famous

examples will be Aristotle and

Cicero

For Example;

Stricter environmental laws SHOULD NOT be implemented to prevent global warming BECAUSE the earth’s warming is a natural ecological stage not produced by human intervention and because business benefits more without these laws .

(Show other reasons for earth’s warming than human causes and show business benefits).
