Baseball

Informative: (Just the facts) Baseball is a sport involving 9 players positioned in various places on a field, who are attempting to keep the other team from advancing bases.

Persuasive: (Position on the facts) Quality pitchers are more important than power hitters, because keeping runs off the board could give the pitcher’s team more opportunity to win. Teams that have better pitchers almost always end up being the better team.

Persuasive statements are critical thinking are related because critical thinking and ethics go hand in hand. In order to persuade, you must think about what you are saying and used research based evidence, otherwise it could just be manipulation.
