Question

imagine you are persuading someone who has never watched the zoo videos. what is one piece of evidence you would use, and why?

Explanation:

To answer this, we can use an example like: "I'd use the video showing a gorilla using sign language to communicate complex needs (like asking for food or expressing emotions). This evidence shows zoo videos teach about animal intelligence, as it’s surprising to see non - human animals use human - like communication, making the videos engaging and educational." (This is a persuasive approach, and the subfield here could be Media and Communication in Social Science as we're discussing how to persuade through a media - related example (zoo videos), or Education as it's about teaching others the value of the videos. But since it's about persuasion and media content, Media and Communication in Social Science is a strong fit.)

Answer:

One piece of evidence could be a video clip showing a rare animal behavior, like a mother orangutan teaching her baby how to build a nest. This is persuasive because it showcases the unique, educational, and heart - warming moments that zoo videos capture, which can spark curiosity and a desire to learn more about animal life cycles and family dynamics. (The subfield here is Media and Communication (Social Science) as we are using media (video clip) to persuade and communicate the value of zoo videos, or Education as it's about educating others on the worth of the videos. If we focus on the persuasive communication aspect, Media and Communication is more apt.)
