Persuasion - The Act of...

Cito Harder

Persuasion is an integral part of human interaction, deeply embedded in how we communicate and influence others in various aspects of life. It involves the art of convincing someone to change their beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors, often through reasoning, emotional appeal, or both. Whether it’s a political leader attempting to sway voters, a marketer aiming to sell a product, or an individual trying to resolve a conflict, persuasion is a tool that enables individuals to shape others’ thoughts and actions. Understanding persuasion is essential not only to comprehend how others influence us but also to understand how we can use it ethically to influence others in return.
At its core, persuasion is about changing the way people think or act without forcing them into compliance. It is often misunderstood as a form of manipulation, but while both involve influencing others, manipulation typically involves deceit or coercion, whereas persuasion focuses on genuine reasoning and voluntary agreement. The ethical boundaries between persuasion and manipulation are significant, and understanding where persuasion becomes harmful is an important distinction in the study of this process.
One of the most significant aspects of persuasion is its psychological foundation. Persuasion works through the understanding of human cognition, emotions, and behavior. People are naturally influenced by their emotions, biases, and the social context in which they find themselves. Cognitive biases such as the bandwagon effect, anchoring, and authority bias can make individuals more susceptible to persuasive messages. This means that the context, presentation, and emotional appeal can have a profound impact on how persuasive an argument or idea is.

Goblinhood - Goblin as a Mode

Jen Calleja

As formally inventive as readers have come to expect from one of the most daring writers around, and as wild and tricky as its subject matter requires, Goblinhood: Goblin as a Mode  presents us with a series of essays and poems that playfully, artfully propound Jen Calleja's theory of 'goblinhood'——a theory that takes in all aspects of pop culture from film, tv, literature and art as well as the author's personal and original examinations of grief, lust, family histories and the physical fact of living in the world as it is.

Goblinhood  is a perpetually and variously curious, visceral addition to Calleja's remarkable oeuvre.

Disconnect - Chapter 6

Open Boundaries

Chapter 6 - Disconnect - Disconnect is about the psychological action of disconnecting from everything that influences you in a negative manner. To not listen to the thoughts and voices of others who begin to steer your life, but instead, to focus on what you want and what you believe in.  
 
In short, it is the disconnection from outside influences, replaced with the connection to what's inside. 
 
Author Bio: 
Set on creating a worldwide movement and bridging the gap between mental health and EDM music. Open Boundaries looks at music as a piece of the mind, something that transgresses languages, borders and backgrounds, a form of emotive connection that lets people forget, love, release, bring joy, cry, and expose their inner selves. The music itself is a form of expression based on personal self-realizations, with each release being built from pieces of the artists mind and then encapsulated in hard hitting beats, melodic rap flows, highly relatable lyrics and heart-felt vocals, all blended together and realized into in 3 versions; including the exclusively unique 'Message Bound' mixes. 
 
Each release is then supported by the storytelling within the release of the ‘Chapters’, which define the meaning behind each song. 
 
The artist remains anonymous for the purposes of being all inclusive to every person out there, there is no connection to any country or any background with all the focus being on the music and the lyrics, rather than the person behind it. This has allowed Open Boundaries to attract a global reach and fanbase who proclaim their devotion to the artist, along with their unwavering support to the ethos behind it.
