LET’S REMEMBER

- Applied social sciences help us consider all helping situations to be multicultural in the sense
that people's uniqueness—such as personal history, culture, gender, social class, religion,
language, etc. of individuals, groups and communities—has to be recognized in the helping
process. The functions of applied social sciences for self-development have been discussed in
the previous posts—counseling, social work, communication—each of which has distinct
contributions in services they put out for self-development. Counseling offers guidance to
individuals in varying situations of conflict, confusion, and crisis and provides the tools for the
individual to address issues of self-development. At the heart of persuasion is the ability to
understand well one’s audience and its complexity. In this kind of communication, the
communicator deals with people’s basic attitudes, values, and beliefs on issues and how to tailor
the message for the audience in order to convince them to adopt a particular point of view
through appropriate channels—TV, radio, Internet, magazines, and newspapers. Persuasion
often consists or contains very few words making sure each one is very important, simple,
specific, and exciting. Other than communication and journalism skills, counseling and social
work skills facilitate the ability to empathize, listen well, and to respond effectively. Drawing on
the skills of applied social sciences, persuasion energizes itself to move audiences to desired and
immediate action.
