Communication strength to activate human emotion and behavior

In paradigmatic description of communication, it is well-known that communication has certain intention; informative and persuasive. Informative is a process of transferring information from one to another, meanwhile persuasive is a process of modifying people attitude, opinion, and behavior.

Persuasive communication is more difficult than informative one. We need certain technique and experience to communicate with any people. We have to adjust the technique for each person individually. In this way, people will talk to us emotionally because the subject of communication touch their necessity.

Which is the most important in effective communication? Verbal or Nonverbal

At glance, let's take a look at the process of interpersonal communication. This diagram may help you to have preliminary comprehension before you read the following summary

sender --> message --> medium (verbal language or nonverbal medium) --> interference --> receiver

Opinion and idea of human being change the media of communication. In the case of face to face communication, it uses both verbal and nonverbal. Verbal message is a word. It is represented by verbal language medium. On the other hand,  there is a nonverbal message represented by  nonverbal medium such as  gesture, cued word, image, or color.

Verbal communication is all kind of oral communication using word or more than one word. Almost all conscious communicative stimuli are included. Verbal category is conscious effort to relate with people in oral way. Moreover, unconscious verbal message is something that we talk about without intention within.

Writing Argumentative Paragraphs - Home Schooling

In argumentative paragraph, the writer wants the readers to accept or reject an idea, realize that action should be taken to solve a problem, or try a new way of doing something. The writer should state her / his opinion about something which s/he believes to be true. For examples :

1. Should smoking be judged as forbidden stuff?
2. Government should be centralize the power
3. Married with the same sex must be legalized

Before writing the paragraph, the writer should make a list of more than one reason in support of her/his opinion (pro) and the main reason against another opinion (contra).

The writer should be careful to avoid mistakes of evidence and logic. There are 3 most common errors:

1. False conclusion : the conclusion is not based on evidence
2. Misplaced causes and effects : just because A takes place before B does not mean A causes B; just because B follows A does not mean B is an effect of A
3. Bad evidence: evidence used comes from an outdated, incompetent, or biased source

Writing Process Paragraphs

Here is the sample of process paragraph:

Flash Card is an effective tool to memorize new words in English. There are some steps to make a good one. Flash Card is a strip of paper that has blank space on the two sides. We can start to work on it by writing 5 words minimally on the front face. Then define the words by using synonyms, antonyms, or the associated word. The last step is filling out the rear face. On this page, try to compose sentences by using those 5 words. You can repeat the steps after finishing the previous one. This hand made tool is impractical, but it is very effective to plant the words in the brain memory for a long time

Writing Cause and Effect Paragraphs

Here is the example of cause and effect paragraph :

Most Indonesia people are ignorant about the dangers of cigarette smoking, therefore, they smoke this stick actively everyday without considering the effect toward themselves. The most dangerous effect is that cigarette smoke pollutes the lungs. It will affect the lungs' elasticity to compress the air and simultaneously shortens the breath. The other fact of  the dangers of cigarette smoke is its residue on physical appearance because it makes the teeth have a misty color and the eyes red. Pregnant women must avoid smoking this item because it will poison their fetus. The following effects are also important to consider in order to be fit. When the cigarette's chemicals flow in the blood vessel, it will increase blood pressure and lead to heart attack. Worst, it is able to impulse nother diseases and organ disorder like chronic itchy skin redness, cancer, throat disorder etc. All happen because 5 organs (the lungs, the heart, the kidneys, the liver, and the pancreas) are connected each other. When the lungs have a disorder condition the it will affect the others. Considering those adverse effects of cigarette smoking, people must avoid it now and ever.

Writing Comparison and Contrast Paragraphs

Comparison and contrast paragraphs are sometimes used to explain a topic. More often, they are used to support the evaluation of two persons, places, things, or ideas. For example, X is better, more beautiful, easier, more helpful, etc. than Y, and so X is preferable to Y.

Comparison identifies and analysis similarities between two person, places, things or ideas. In the other hand, Contrast identifies and analysis differences between two person, places, things or ideas.

Writers whose purpose is to compare (or contrast) in order to evaluate and select one of the persons, ideas, places, or events develop criteria (factors by which they can judge their topic) to make thee comparison (or cotrast). These criteria  are the points that are supported by the facts, examples, physical description, and/or personal experience generated by the writer.

Organization of Comparison and Contrast Paragraphs

There are two ways to organize a comparison/contrast paragraph

• Application of one criterion to both of the sub-topics within the topic at the same time (Basic Outline)

•  TOPIC SENTENCE

1.  X and Y (criterion 1) = supporting detail, supporting detail
