Change beliefs, attitudes, or understanding

Persuade a specific audience to change beliefs, attitudes, or understanding about a particular ideology, event, situation, object, etc. You are to use sound reasoning, avoid logical and emotional fallacies, and present an argument in a non-confrontational manner. You should use logical claims and appeals to convince the audience to support your view, or at least, to re-examine their viewpoint. You should mention and refute the opposing views by providing evidence to support your views or beliefs.
