1. What do you think should be done to reduce inequality in American society?

Answer 1

Hi Penelope,

I can't give the answer to your assignment, but I can help you understand it. After reading the four theories, think about which one utilizes persuasion techniques the best. Here is a guide that can help you: https://open.lib.umn.edu/communication/chapter/11-4-persuasive-strategies/

Whichever theory more closely matches the persuasion strategies would be your most persuasive. You don't have to necessarily agree with any of the theories; you just have to think about which one is more persuasive.

Thanks for using Wyzant,
