What does it mean by saying that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests.Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority(优先) over pizza.Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade.And the purpose of your romantic interest may have other choices.
In such a world,persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our point of view.When we persuade,we want to influence how others believe and behave.We may not always prevail-other points of view may be more persuasive,depending on the listener, the situation,and the merits(优点)of the case.But when we practice the art of persuasion.we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.
Some people,however, are against the very idea of persuasion.They may regard it as an unwelcome approach to their lives. In contrast,we believe that persuasion is unavoidable-to live is to persuade.Persuasion may be moral or immoral,selfless or selfish,inspiring or discouraging.Persuaders may enlighten our minds or trouble us greatly.Moral persuasion,
however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners.Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make.Therefore,a necessary part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.
Beyond its personal importance to us,persuasion is a need to society.The right to persuade and be persuaded is the basic principle of the American political system,guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution(宪法).

specialist Mary Madden was surprised the growth wasn’t higher.

In many cases,the search is just done to find someone’s contact information.But a third of those who have conducted searches on others have looked for public records,such as bankruptcies and divorce proceedings.A similar number have searched for someone else’s photo.
Few Internet users say they Google themselves regularly-about three quarters of self searchers say they have done so only once or twice.And most who have done so consider what they find accurate.
Pew also found that teens were more likely than adults to restrict who can see their profiles at an online hangout like Facebook or news Corp’s MySpace.

My six―year-old granddaughter, Caitlynd.and I stopped at m Tim Horton’s shop for a blueberry cake.As we were going out the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.
This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and a set of blue spiked(竖起的)hair on top of it.One of his nostrils(鼻孔)was pierced,and a ring ran through the hole and a chain went across his face and was attached to a ring he was wearing in his ear.He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.
Caitlynd,who was walking ahead of me,stopped at once when she saw the teenager.I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot.
I was wrong.
My granddaughter backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go.Now I was face to face with the young man.I stepped aside and let him pass.His gracious response was a polite “Thank you very much”.
On our way to the car, I praised Caitlynd for her manners in holding open the door for the young man.She didn’t seem to be troubled by his appearance but I wanted to make sure.If a grandmother talked about freedom of self expression and allowing people their differences was suitable,I wanted to be ready.
As it turned out, the person who needed the talk was me .
The only thing Caitlynd noticed about the teenager, was the fact that his arms were full.“He would have a hard time in opening the door.’’
I saw the partially shaved head,the set of spiked hair, the piercings and the chain.She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a door.
In the future,I hope to get down on her level and raise my sights.

D.people should have more freedom to express themselves
