Persuasive Writing - It is Wrong to Fight

WALT Write a Persuasive Writing

I agree that It is wrong to fight and it is a negative way to solve things

___________________________________________________________________________________________

My most important reason is that it is a very negative solution to most problems. Physical contact or words could harm people mentally and physically causing the insult to expand or be isolated within the victim’s mind. Media is a commonly used thing today as well as phones, so an example could be cyberbullying which could be sent all around the world, that’s how it expands to being a viral situation. Now the world knows something new and bad things start to happen, police would be defensive and try to protect you but does that always work? That’s why it’s wrong to fight.     

___________________________________________________________________________________________

I think that there are people who fight back and get injured even more, same with the words because they could be sent verbally or in person. And some people just don’t want to talk about it. For example, fighting would be a way to relieve stress or to show off as an intimidating person, which is a bad reputation to present yourself.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Relationship with people would be low and people would become more anti social towards each other. We have suspicion about the people we see/meet and there are times when people could be pulled into things such as fighting. You may be arguing for someone else or fighting in there place to protect them, but now the problem is bigger. The person you just protected would either fight with you or run away, if he fought the man would be beat and left alone or  sent to the police, that or they might beat you both. If he/her ran, the innocent person who protected him/her may be beaten up, killed, hurt badly or sent running away. That’s not what we want the world where everyone's afraid of everyone because our earth wouldn’t be called home sweet home anymore.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

What do I think about this piece of persuasive writing?

It’s a stupid thing to do and it’s smart. I really want to persuade the audience into thinking that it is bad/wrong to fight, we want peace.

• Analyse and compare your graph with a partner and discuss the differences between your graphs.

Personal Reflection Question

• What is your viewpoint about the role of digital media and how these digital media plays a big part in your life today? In other words, how will digital media impact (influence) on your life in the future? Will this be positive or negative? Why?

I don’t think the future would be the active type, seeing how we are today anyways/ sort of. Though I can imagine the world being very social online but anti social in person. We would either create a lot of relationships or an online war, it all depends.
