Doha: An interactive exhibition at The Media Majlis at Northwestern University in Qatar (NU-Q) looks at the power of persuasion and the use of persuasive techniques in media.
Unraveling Persuasion explores the arts and sciences of persuasion by examining its omnipresence in various aspects of everyday life as well as the origin of the language and psychology of persuasive communication, from early television in Britain to contemporary media in the Middle East. “Media, politics, language, culture, religion, and all aspects of our lives are influenced by the power of persuasion and influence us in turn,” said Pamela Erskine-Loftus, director of the Media Majlis. “Unraveling Persuasion delves deep into the history and theories of persuasive messaging to help visitors understand the power of persuasion and increase their awareness of its impact in influencing our behaviors and molding our perceptions of the world around us.”More Related News
