Group Blog Assignments: responding to the audience Comments on Satires of Persuasion~!!

Thank You Soooooo Much for all the positive comments from all the audience who actually read through our LONG satire of persuasions. Although it was a long post, the message we would like to share to everyone should be provoking enough. Yet there are more we would also like to share which was originally "PLANNED" to share in the comment part.

As mentioned in the last post, we are assuming there is NO political motivation from Ms.Lam. Then we analyzed how her profession(Teacher) and actions(Swore in public)  influence offspring, and the consequence & after effects of this incident. there were people support her because of "Freedom of speech" and "Justice" and not support as for a reason of "profanity word in the public is not right". A lot of public people in most of the time FOLLOW what other people's thinking & actions without thinking & analysing;  because they had been influenced by the education system in Hong Kong - "Spoon feed" system, so that they either don't think, don't analyze before making judgement; or being too political and will just oppose the opposite parties whatever they carried out.

We will now show you the second part: The "TRUTH" behind.

We will start with ignoring the background of the incident and whose right or wrong first. we are really focusing on Ms.Lam, which she claimed she is spoke for justice when she "on the way home from buying food and walked pass this incident; then she speak for justice because she did not agree with police's action". but the truth is, this was detail planned from a political party called "調理農務蘭花系：打倒港共流氓政權" [1] this party planned and set up the confrontation and conflicts, so that they could achieve their party goal - "Influence public towards Anti-China political power"

Anti China political Party 調理農務蘭花系 - Member includes Ms.Lam

Ms.Lam

Anti China party's member set up the incident, they claimed they only just walked pass.

Top: this man claimed he never met Ms.Lam before and show his support.
Bottom right: he is also a member of anti China party.

another picture had shown this man was with Ms.Lam in a different incident.

Above have shown that this was detail planned, and tell lies on everything and on every secret mission they had. The moral of story is we need to analyze and see different views before making judgement. Furthermore, we encourage Hong Kong people think holistically; do not mix personal emotion and political preference in analyzing incident we have read from the media. In Most cases, media also had their political preference and they DO dilutes other information for persuading the public towards their preferred conclusion and instigate the public.

We have shown some information and our comments on looking into data, information and trust. we have also shown the current phenomenon in Hong Kong and how people do things with a hidden agenda and political missions. WE DO NOT PLANNED TO SHOW MORE... but to leave a question for audience, we owned our brain, our thinking and views.

Do you still wanna trust the information you have received and choose to believe it?  
OR
You like to analyze your information in a holistic views and find out the truth before jump to a conclusion?

There was a comment about how we would think about "LOCUST" case.  Our views is simple, although some of the mainlanders may have affecting livelihood to Hong Kong, e.g. Transport, Hygiene, inflation...etc. this does not mean we have to put "HATRED" into play. We have not investigate too much into this case, but one thing we can comment about is the symbolic icon of "LOCUST = China Traveler" seems a bit harsh. we believe this would address in a soft way instead of a hard way. To go any further of this hatred would aggravate the conflicts between Hong Kong and China... This is not a separate case, and can go very political in the public. I suggest we need to see this from different perspectives, pros and cons; analyze our information thoroughly before immediately putting HATE, AGAINST, DISLIKE as conclusion of this.

The persuasive efficacy of satire for social improvements we have learnt through this blogging process was great. We were not just describing the case but to persuade public and provoke new thinking to our audience. The effect and influence our comic strip have a strong link between the ways we share our information, the sequence, argument we have made, discussion focus and consistence. To be successfully persuade our audience, we must know what to not do in our persuasion; According to "The Necessary Art of Persuasion" by Jay A. Conger[2], we do not do hard sell, and not do just presenting great argument. in our persuasion method  we have described our case in vivid language and  brought out discussion under different situation with evidence well provided, as Jay A. Conger [3] have also mentioned. These have provide us some solid grounds to design/planned our satire which help us gained a great success on being agreed from our audience.

Thanks to all~!
