Blog – Some say we are becoming a visual society. Is a visual argument more persuasive than a written one? Why or why not?

Sometimes a visual argument is more persuasive than a written one. For example, a video of people getting killed is way more effective way of saying war should be avoided than a paper simply pointing out that people are killed. Using the shock-factor of a visual argument is an easy way of winning the emotional aspect of an argument. On the other hand, a visual argument cannot tell the whole side to an argument, and is most effective if used as an aid to a written or spoken argument.
