Visual

I do believe that a visual argument is more persuasive then a written one. Visual arguments have the ability to tap into the viewers senses much quicker and have a much more lasting impression. If someone was trying to protest against the war in Iraq, writing information on it may sway some people, but showing pictures of dying solders would appeal to the senses of the audience and more then likely they would hold the image in their minds for much longer. It’s all to easy to read about something going on in the world and forget about it, but when pictures are presented that appeal to your emotions you could feel disturbed, inspired, or amazed for a long time, and feel the need to spread the word about the event. Pictures and videos make it easier to connect to the subjects in them quickly, and a lot of times, make a stronger connection.
