Be smart - read the assignment

The book is on reserve in Library.   Be ready to speak on 3 of these 10.  We go over prior to watching movie Thurs.  They are all good for script-writing - see esp #2 6 9 - but all are useful.   Be prepared to say what they ARE, some examples from the book, and some of your own examples.   

1. ask for more first
2. "fixed action patterns" (good for a script)
3. establish low expectations
4. authority
5. be nice:  people like people they like
6. reciprocity (good for a script)
7. "social proof"
8. lowball
9. commitment and consistency - see image on page 104 (good for a script!)
10. scarcity

what technique(s) of  the rules of influence did I use in the Jeopardy "Game" we played?

Ad Hominem

Another way to put Henry's point is that the discussion was all "ad hominem" rather than about issues.  Ad hominem means "to the man" "to the person" - comments made about a person's characteristics rather than comments made about an issue.  What kind of movies one likes or dislikes has nothing to do with the soundness of an argument or utility of a point of view.  

American psycho!!!
