Informative versus Persuasive Speech

Informative Speech

There are a lot of similarities between informative and persuasive speech. It is a given in persuasive speaking a person is constantly trying to make themselves heard. A person is trying to persuade the audience non-stop one way or the other. When an individual is carrying out persuasive speech they are trying to inform the specified audience about their idea or argument with the help of evidences and much more. Having said that, there are two basic features that differentiate persuasive and informative topics which I will be discussing below.

The informative topic will almost every time lean towards being noncontroversial. When one is making an informative speech or presenting an informative topic there are most likely chances that the speaker will not be presenting an idea or view that the audience might disagree with. For example, in an informative speech you can talk about Chinese medicine and educate your audience about it. However, if you start criticizing Chinese medicine in your speech that would obviously mean that you are leaning towards a persuasive speech. This certainly does not mean that your speech needs to be boring, it just means that whatever way you are presenting your idea just cannot portray conflict in any way. It should not oppose the viewpoint of the audience.

The speaker does not push to change the ideas and views of the audience. The speaker is not focused on the changing the audiences attitude, they are trying to actually ensure the importance of the idea. In no way the audience has to feel differently about the representation. For example, a person can talk about a fridge and the importance of it, but they cannot persuade the audience to buy a certain brand that the speaker might think to be fit.

Persuasive Speech

While on the contrary, persuasion is a process in which the speaker is trying to motivate a change in the viewer through argument and evidence. The idea is to make the audiences belief or attitude change towards a certain view point. Persuasion does not mean that it will be coercive. It is not like you will be holding a gun to someones head to listen to you. Persuasion is usually incremental. It succeeds over time, the speaker tends to leave an impression on the audience, says something thought provoking to invoke a change in the in the audiences belief. The social judgment theory can explain persuasion very well. The audience when listens to something different they usually compare it to the ideas that they already know. The opinion that already exists is called the anchor, but surrounding it is latitude of rejection, acceptance and noncommitment. Around this model the audience perceive the new idea represented.
