Communication Negotiation

It is important to identify when someone is attempting to persuade you with a warning of a slippery slope argument, and it is even more important to make sure that you do not use them yourself. Once a person recognizes that an argument is a caution of a slippery slope it can significantly reduce the trust that the argument is thoughtful.

Where arguments regarding precedent become slippery slope arguments is when a person expands the scope of “highly similar” beyond what is reasonable.

Narrative and story telling are effective tools of persuasion because it enable the audience to understand why a proposed resolution is the correct resolution.
