Personal: I always knew that there were one or two differences between argumentation and persuasion. While reading this chapter I was shocked to see that there are a lot more than just one or two differences. They said that they are similar when it comes to trying to convince readers to think or act in a specific way. I didn't know that even though they are different, they can coincide to create a pattern of assertion while writing. After reading chapter 13, I have a better understanding of how and why to write these kinds of essays.
Professional: Argumentation relies on reasoning, evidence, facts and logic. While persuasion appeals to emotions, beliefs, and values. It stated that both, argumentation and persuasion have persuasive tendencies. The argument built in the paper should be strong and factual while still trying to make your view or standing on the topic very clear. Persuasion is used in many ways, it a lot of papers written today. It's a helpful tool.
