The video explains: 1. Persuasive speaking can be categorized into two main types: Practical Based Persuasion and Issue-Based Persuasion. 2. Practical Persuasion focuses on convincing audiences to take personal action on achievable topics, such as not texting while driving or adopting a nutritious diet. 3. Issue-Based Persuasion deals with more significant societal matters and addresses questions of fact, value, and policy. 4. In questions of fact, speakers aim to persuade the audience about the existence or truth of something, often using logical arguments and objective facts. 5. Questions of value involve subjective evaluations of worth or significance, determining whether something is good or bad, right or wrong, moral or immoral. 6. Policy speeches advocate for specific actions or solutions to problems, addressing what should or shouldn't be done to resolve an issue. 7. Policy speeches typically follow a problem-causes-solution organizational framework, outlining the nature of the problem, its causes, and the proposed solution. 8. These two types of persuasive speaking, along with their respective subcategories, provide a framework for addressing various persuasive topics.
