viewpoint

Examples of viewpoint in the following topics:

• Ethical Usage: Considering Other Viewpoints

  • Persuasive speakers have an ethical duty to consider opposing viewpoints and evidence before being sure that theirs are correct.
  • The honest consideration of other viewpoints is an ethical duty if you are a persuasive speaker seeking to convince the audience of something you believe to be true.
  • If you are able to consider other viewpoints and still believe in your original view, then you are ethically able to attempt to persuade others.
  • As a persuasive speaker, there is always an incentive to invent, or even just fudge evidence so as to strengthen your appeal and weaken opposing viewpoints.
  • Explain why considering other viewpoints is considered ethical in public speaking

• Addressing Opposing Viewpoints

  • Being familiar with oppositional viewpoints is a way of strengthening your understanding of your own position.
  • When arguing against a traditional viewpoint, this becomes especially important as you will have a more challenging case to argue.
  • While the previous two examples use the addressing of oppositional arguments to provide a framework to the paper, it is important to include a brief engagement with opposing viewpoints in the opening paragraph.
  • Doing so gives readers a succinct version of the position that will be articulated in the remainder of the paper, as well as a brief explanation of why that position is stronger than opposing viewpoints.
  • It is important to anticipate opposing viewpoints and to respond to them fairly and adequately.

• The Contingency Viewpoint

  • The contingency viewpoint of management proposes that there is no standard for management; instead, management depends on the situation.
  • The contingency viewpoint is a more recent development of organizational theory that attempts to integrate a variety of management approaches by proposing that there is no one best way to organize a corporation or lead a company.
  • An example of the contingency viewpoint in action is a manager facing a situation with an employee who regularly shows up late to work.
  • Under the contingency viewpoint, however, the manager may decide to better understand the situation by talking to the employee about why s/he is late to work and then deciding on the most effective and appropriate course of action.
  • A leader's ability to manage under the contingency viewpoint depends largely on the nature of the environment and how the organization relates to the environment.

• Making Concessions

  • Be specific when you address opposing viewpoints.
  • No matter what phrases you use to make concessions, your goal is the same: To demonstrate that you have considered the opposing viewpoint fairly, that you can recognize when the opposition brings up a good point, and that your argument still holds true despite this valid objection .
  • Use arguments that go against your thesis to support your argument by giving opposing viewpoints a fair chance and refuting them thoughtfully

• The Goals of a Persuasive Speech: Convincing, Actuation, and Stimulation

  • The overall goal of a persuasive speech is for the audience to accept your viewpoint as the speaker.
  • A convincing speech is designed to cause the audience to internalize and believe a viewpoint that they did not previously hold.
  • In this instance, the speaker understands that the audience already believes in the viewpoint, but not to the degree that he or she would like.

• The Ethics of Persuasion

  • Notably, this approach involves input from the audience and an honest explanation of your viewpoint.

• Uniting Competing Factions Within the Party

  • Even with evidence of increasing polarization between political parties, they still encompass a wide range of constituents with varying viewpoints.
  • Parties unite these disparate viewpoints by developing party platforms that outline party positions on issues and the actions leaders will take to implement them if elected.
  • These votes present a majority view on how issues should be handled and how they can be used by the presidential candidate to unite divergent viewpoints under one popular view.

• Anticipating Potential Objections

  • Not everyone will readily agree with the viewpoint you take in an argument.
  • This means not everyone will agree with your viewpoint.
  • Think about who may be undecided or opposed to your viewpoint.
  • Show how to address readers who may not agree with your viewpoint

• Product life extension

  • From a manufacturer's viewpoint, similar savings occur.

• Prejudice, Bias, and Discrimination

  • Technically, prejudice should be differentiated from viewpoints accumulated through direct life experience.
  • Such viewpoints or beliefs are not pre-judgments but post-judgments.
  • If the assertion is made that no amount of experience ever entitles a person to a viewpoint then this precipitates a logical absurdity since anyone who opposes strongly-held views must, by their own definition, also be prejudiced, invalidating their own proposition on the grounds of... prejudice.
  • Post-judgments or beliefs and viewpoints derived from experience that maintain unfair or stereotypical perspectives on a group of people is more accurately referred to as bias.
