My science fair project was not like most of the students. It was related to persuasion. I always wonder what was the best way to persuade someone to do my dirty work or agree with me, but never could really figure out the answer. This time I decided to use school time to find the answer out myself. I made up a survey or rather a list of statements which had different tones and asked the high schoolers to rate them for me. They did not know which survey they receive. There were three types, humor, fear, and a neutral tone. The funny one ended up to be the best way that persuaded them. I concluded that by using a humorous tone, I was able to capture my audience better than the other two tones.
