Le persuasion techniques are various, ea
sometimes these depend on responses that come directly from the unconscious.
For example, utter, perhaps shouting, cursing at the beginning or at the
end of a speech can make our interlocutor accept what
we wish to communicate. In fact, the
lack of passion is fatal when trying to persuade an audience to

it's just a good idea. Curse! It is also the most reasonable solution for
all parties involved. " The second speech included swearing
at the end of the idea while that the third speech did not include this word. Curiously, i
researchers appreciated that the swearing increased the interest of the audience

they conclude that an expletive inserted adequately in the speech can
represent a very useful persuasive technique to persuade the public, however

swearing can not only exert a persuasive power but sometimes the
blasphemy is also a powerful analgesic ...
