A) AI assisted me in this project by assisting me with finding the research and helping me comprehend the unit. It also helped when I needed perplexity.ai’s help for some of the paragraphs.
B) I ensured the work I handed in was mine by using the examples AI gave me and using my own words and knowledge to add onto and forming my own sentences.
C) I had to argue both sides given that I had to work alone so I cannot give an answer about if I agree with my argument I had to argue.
Core Competency Reflection
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in when I reached out to a teacher saying how my partner was not contributing at all to the project, resulting in me needing to do the entire project on my own.
My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include reading back through my notes and using the internet to help assist me in this project.
Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement? The company advertising is the one benefiting, not the consumer. It is important to remember because the consumers are being manipulated and they should not want to give into the scam.
How Logical Persuasion is effective with persuading an audience. Logical persuasion is effective because it demonstrates statistics and percentages. If we see sales are down by a certain percent, people immediately will spend the money due to the fact it is cheaper even if the item will have no use or value in their lives. Or if 9 out of 10 professionals recommend something it is more appealing to consumers rather than if 1 out of 10 professions recommend the product.
Why Ethical Persuasion is effective to selling products. Ethical persuasion is effective because if on an ad people see a doctor recommending a medication or a treatment it demonstrates that the product is certified and recommended by the professional of the product category. If a engineer was shown on an ad recommending a toothpaste, it is not as appealing nor does it seem as trustworthy. Yet, if a dentist is recommending a toothpaste, it seems to be a great toothpaste product.
Core Competency Reflection
When there was disagreement within the group, I found it helpful to simply communicate. Sometimes when there is a disagreement people just need to discuss how they feel or what points they are backing up.
I knew my group is working well together when I heard how we were communicating and planning. While working on this project I noticed how well we discussed our personal points and ideas.
I showed that I valued feedback from others in my group by listening. When I would receive feedback I would listen and take the feedback and either change, improve, or build off the ideas.
