Why it is necessary to adapt a persuasive speech to your audience's culture? Provide an example of how you could adapt your speech for one of the following audiences: collectivist, high-power-distance, uncertainty avoidant, long-term orientation

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

The ideal answer should include:
- It is important to consider cultural distinctions in persuasion. Appeals you would use to influence one cultural group might not work as well in persuading another cultural group.
- Students' examples of adaptations will vary:
* If addressing members of a collectivist culture, emphasize the importance of family, loyalty, and national identity and pride.
* If addressing members of a high-power-distance culture, reference the work or words of important and prominent people.
* If addressing members of an uncertainty avoidant culture, use many reputable sources as support.
* If addressing members of a culture with a long-term orientation to time, emphasize the value of delayed rewards.
