Assignment 2

1. Topic popularity
2. Persuasiveness
3. Unfamiliarized with the topic
4. Statistics
5. Personal Beliefs

I think that I've narrowed down the top 5 reasons that a person would agree or take action on a topic. If a topic is extremely popular it might be seen as a trend or "the cool thing" to listen to or take action upon. Ex: The vote campaigns make voting a "cool thing" to do because of all the celebrities. The persuasiveness of a topic also, some people are very good at convincing you that something is right and persuading you to sway in their direction. If a person isn't familiar with the topic they might agree with you just because of the fact that they're unsure. Statistics are another good example, if a person sees facts that they can relate to they might be more likely to take action or agree. And, the personal beliefs or opinions will sway a person to agree or take action also.
