Bailes~Composition 1

The Rogerian Approach is effective because people can come to a common ground. With the Rogerian Approach it's not "I'm right, you're wrong." Both sides have a say-so & both sides can come to an agreement which is fair. I feel the Rogerian is Approach is effective because it's fair.

The Rogerian approach downplays the emotional in favor of the rational so that people of good will can find solutions to common problems.
 

Rogerian argument assumes that if reader and writer can both find common ground about a problem, they are more likely to find a solution to that problem.

1.)The writer presents the problem which, usually, points out how the writer and reader are affected by the problem. Instead of presenting an issue that divides the reader and the writer it won't begin with the writer's position.

2.) "Only if the writer can represent the reader's perspective accurately will the reader begin to move toward compromise, and so this section of the argument is crucial to the writer's credibility." The writer will acknowledge the circumstances in which the reader's position is valid.

3.) The last part of the Rogerian argument shows possible ways to compromise or alternative solutions to the problem. It gives solutions that would benefit the reader and the writer.

4.)No argument, including the Rogerian, will succeed unless the writer understands the reader.

I think that the Rogerian argument is so successful because the reader does not feel as though they are being attacked, but that their eyes are being opened to some circumstances that they might no have been aware of before. It is like that old timey saying, "You will get more flies with sugar than you will with vinegar." Thus, people will listen to you more often if you are sensitive to both sides.Instead of forcing your opinion on someone and telling them that their opinion is wrong, maybe you can listen to them for a little while and then tell them what you know and think. ~Meagan Fillman
 

The Rogerian approach has its mind made up on the outcome of a situtions before the reader can figure out the problem or solutions. I also think this apporach is the writer own personal and perspective opinion
 

I don't like this way becaue I believe the reader should have the right to figure out for themself. With enough information from the writer you can draw your own conclusion when the details is put before you.
 

D-ketah belive what Rogerian says you have had to experience to understand you have tohave compasion feel what you are going threw.As time gose on you will start to understand why people rac indiferntproblems . time.location,age gender has a big part whats happening
 

What is the Rogerian Argument?
It is my opinion that advertisers use this method to try to influence the consumer to purchase their products. They might try to argue that our lives won’t be complete unless we use Charmin toilet paper to wipe our crusty asses or that our new born child needs a Baby Einstein in order to communicate with his out of tune parents. I am sure through the piles of research that goes into making an ad that Carl Rodger’s name came up somewhere. What kind of argument do you think our government uses to convince the poor under class “yo yo” that we need higher taxes? Hey, let’s just go to war over some dictator/oil slut and spend all of our good hard working American’s money. I could go but I don’t feel I need to per sway any of you that this is the way our society functions. Now, go to Hamilton Place Mall and let the blood sucking begin. Go now; there are sales to be had, lotion to rub on our dry cracked hands and pictures to be made with some old fat guy dressed in red. Save yourself a stamp for my Christmas card, I won’t be here to lavish in the holiday festivities because I will be on the beach. Hey you! Cabana boy, bring me a drink!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas class. Remember that Jesus is the reason for the season not our dept card. God Bless. Kimberly Dubois.
 

1. writer presents problem and the effects it has on both bonding rather than seperating.
2. writer describes readers point of view and writer must accurately display readers point of view.
3. writer presents his or her own perception on the problem in a clear language
4. writer shows reader benefits of their point of view. not forcing them to give up their point of view just showing pros to the writers point of view.
It is effective because it puts writer and reader on the same level and allows both to understand each other and different approaches to a given argument. H.Engel
 

I believe the Rogerian theory is so effective is because both parties are able to discuss their opinions with communication, empathy by relating to one anothers point of views with the desire to compermise. This gives both a reward of resolving their issues and satisfaction expressing their thoughts. S Nunley
 

I have a similar method with my small children and it has been very effective. I also believe in this method because it forces us to treat one another with respect and to see each other's uniqueness.J.Friddell
 

1-the writer presents the problem, typically pointing out how both writer and reader are affected by the problem.
2-the writer describes as fairly as possible--typically in language as neutral as possible--the reader's perceived point of view on the problem.
3-the writer then presents fairly and accurately his or her own perspective or position on the problem.
4-the writer shows why the reader would benefit from following the writers perspective.

This allows the writer to communicate to the reader why he feels that others should take his point of view on the topic.

I had to write a paper on this Roger's method and I did not want to do it at all! After I set my goals and realized I could actually obtain them
I felt a little at ease. I thought this was all common sense but someone finally put it into writing.
