Discussion

For this discussion topic you'll be "mirroring the logical processes of problem-solving" in your approach to addressing a work-related issue where you "expect some resistance or displeasure on the part of the reader."? p.315, Meyer

State the purpose of your report, i.e. what you intend to persuade the reader to think and/or do. Then describe what you will address first as you attempt to overcome possible resistance and persuade them of the merits of your viewpoint and/or request. Conclude by explaining why you think this approach is effective? Include a descriptive heading in the subject line of your post.

provide an example and brief explanation of what you feel is a useful alternative first step for their persuasive approach. Only one response should be provided to each student's post, so select a submission nobody else has yet commented upon.
