For this two-part part discussion topic you will describe how persuasion and conformity affect your life.

1. Identify a source or method of influence that informs, “persuades,” and impacts how you think, act, and view the world. Describe:
   1. the positive and negative of this influencer
   2. what things you could do to improve your ability to become more personally responsible, better informed, and how to exercise greater “critical thinking”

   2. Evaluating your responses to influences to conformity, the law of reciprocity, and compliance techniques, identify:

1. 1. factors that cause you to conform
   2. what you see as positive and negative about the level to which you conform
   3. a situation where you were influenced by a compliance technique or by the law of reciprocity that caused you to do a favor, make a purchase, agree to something, etc. that minimized or ignored your own interests or preferences
