A Dual Reaction Paper on Hillside Hotels and Persuasion Techniques
My paper is about two articles that are “See, Feel, Think and Do, Putting It Together” and “Harnessing the Science of Persuasion”.

The second article states some generally accepted principles on persuasion. And the first article is about a company in Turkey. The workers and the managers are Turkish.

In such a situation an authority driving, prompting and inducing the ideas would not be very helpful to create the change and make the people follow them (pertaining to the Principle of Authority in the second article).
