Herbert Simmons said persuasion is “a process of communication designed to modify the judgments of others.”
Daniel O’Keefe says it implies some measure of freedom (i.e. free will, free choice, voluntary action). “Forcing others to act is not the same as truly persuading them.”
I like O’Keefe’s perspective because it suggests the two-way-ness needed to change minds.
