Question:Reflect on a recent discussion you’ve had in which you tried to persuade others to accept your point of view. What type or types of reasoning did you use? How well did your reasoning work?
I can recall a time when I was leading a meeting with my staff at work, and I needed to persuade my staff to take my side in a certain sign-in and sign-out procedure. The whole time I was using deductive reasoning by giving then specific examples explaining why the new procedure would best fit our after school program.
Usually students don’t sign out when they leave our after school program, and according to the state of California that is not ok. Since California has a strict policy with the sign-in and out procedure we changed our old procedure to fit the requirements of California completed. But this took a lot of convincing from me to my staff, this is because the new procedure required us to have more work put on our shoulders.
