- How can photos be used as alternate forms of argument?
It can be used as a visual proof to convince others about your point.
Argument often derived from personal conviction. This personal conviction often really hard to get rid off even if the oppositions provides a clear and logical argument to debunk it.
Visual proof often harder to deny since it can depict a certain situation in a more convincing way rather than personal recollection . Often times, this can be a lot stronger compared to trying to convince others simply by using words.
- Can a photo convince you to take a specific action or to think a certain way?
Absolutely.
For example, Let's say that you hear 2 people arguing in the court. Person A accused person B for killing person C at December 12th. Person B denied the accusation.
At this point, you probably not really sure who's in the right.
But, let's say that<u> person B showed a photo that proved he is actually in another city</u> on December 12th and it is impossible for him to be at the crime scene on the time of person C attack.
That photo could easily win the argument in person B's favor and convince others who witness it that he is telling the truth.
