Visual Argumetn

Visual argument can be more persuasive. I don’t believe in all cases that visual argument trumps any other kind of argument, but I do believe that in most cases it does. Most people believe in the phrase seeing is believing, which means that its only true and believable if it can be seen. In most cases if you can provide visual evidence to your argument, then the opponent is more likely to believe you based on what they’ve seen. The best example of a place where visual argument is bad, is when it comes to religion. You can’t see a God are a celestial being, so visual argument would be bad to use. If you could provide visual for religious arguments, I’m pretty sure it would be the most effective.

Visual argument allows you to see what is happening and see what the argument the opponent is making. In most cases the sight of something is more powerful than just the telling. A picture says a thousand words so to speak, so it is easier to depict your argument through a visual reference rather than spoken or written. Not only is it more powerful, it can make the story more believable. People could change any aspect they want to about their argument with lies. It is more difficult for a visual image to lie than a person saying of writing down lies. In the end visual argument is more overall effective than any other argument.
