International Peace             The issue of international peace covers a significant part of the Brooklyn daily paper between 1916 and 1926.

Empathy-Building Persuasion Empathy refers to the ability to understand and feel the pain other people are going through. Empathy-building persuasion is a situation whereby one constructs a compassionate understanding of the pain other people are experiencing (Weisz & Zaki, 2017). I successfully applied the empathy-building persuasion approach when dealing with HIV patients in my area. These were individuals who had lost hope and had nothing to live for. We had to do a follow up on them in their homes because they had given up on medication. I shared stories about other HIV patients who were adhering to their medication and were looking healthy and full of strength. This approach was successful because the victims were willing to share their stories—including how they contracted the disease.  Knowing their story enables us to understand them and meet every victim at their points of need. In the end, 90 percent of the patients sought out medication, and their health significantly improved because they were at peace with themselves. How to Persuade a Legislative Body Persuasion has the power to make people accept…

Robert had lots of fears like he wanted the writer to use his first name only, so as not to attract attention from authorities. This indicates a poor relationship between the government and the militias after the war between protestants and the Catholics enclaves in Northern Ireland.
