Question 1

What is an argument by analogy and how does it differ from an argument by example

Accepted Answer

An argument by analogy compares different ideas or examples to each other in order to reach a particular conclusion. The analogy might be literal or metaphorical and requires that the audience be familiar with at least one of the comparisons. The argument by example is an inductive logic using specific examples to make larger claims. The argument by example differs from the argument by analogy in that it (argument by example) uses examples to support claims but does not necessarily compare examples to one another.

Question 2

What is the latitude of noncommitment? Explain how a listener might experience a latitude of noncommitment after listening to a persuasive speech. Finally, what could you do to help the person see that your proposal should be within their latitude of acceptance?

Accepted Answer

The latitude of noncommitment occurs when the new information presented in a speech causes the listener to neither accept nor reject the position, but instead, maintain their original position. In order for persuasion to be likely in this case, one would need to show that his or her ideas or portions of his or her idea actually fall in this person's latitude of acceptance. The speaker could try to persuade the person by using stronger supporting evidence, by showing them the cost-benefits of accepting the position, or by persuading the listener to accept a small part of the argument.
