This weekend I went and paid the $29 for my copy of Apple's new Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) operating system upgrade. I installed it on my Mac Book Pro laptop over the weekend and so far it seems to be running well and living up to the advertising. “We shall fight on beaches” proclaims Winston Churchill, demonstrating the iron resolve that will get Great Britain through its darkest hour. “I have returned” declares Douglas MacArthur, the titan of America’s army in the Pacific. And 10 more speeches from leaders of the Allied nations. One of Sir Winston Churchill's most famous speeches.

One example of a persuasivemessage is a speech given by Winston Churchill to the Houses of Commons on 4thJune 1940. This speech has been given the title of ‘we shall fight on thebeaches’. Within the speech there are various persuasive techniques making itvery powerful. To put it into context,the main reason Churchill gave this speech was to warn his audience of theterrible struggle lying ahead of them, urging them to fight and defeat theenemy but without loweringmorale.
One of the most prominent aspectsof the speech is the use of repetition. He repeats the words ‘we shall fight’. Empiricalstudies have shown that repeating something makes it more powerful as communicationeffectiveness is mediated by familiarity (Campbell & Keller, 2003). This isalso present in the mere exposure effect (Zajonc, 1968).
Also, the scenes offighting he depicts actually follow the course of a successful rather than adefeated invasion “on the beaches……in the hills”. This is also in collaborationwith other positive framing of words for example the last lines use the words“the New World” referring to the end of the war. This clearly puts a more positiveframe on the consequences of the war. Thisconcept is used by many political parties and was given the name ‘newspeak’ byOrwell (1949). It involves negative words being framed more positively forexample, bad becomes ‘ungood’. It has been shown that you are able to controlthought through the use of positively framed language. Tversky and Kahnemans(1981) classic study shows that people will make different decisions to achoice depending on whether it is presented as a loss of a gain.
He also establishes astrong rapport with his audience (both the MPs in the House of Commons and thepublic listening to the radio) by repeating the word “we”. This denotessolidarity, commitment and a shared sense of purpose in trying to do everythingpossible to repel a hated enemy. This creates ingroup favouritism and outgroupprejudice, otherwise known as an ingroup bias. The Robbers Cave experiments iscommonly used to exemplify this (Sherif et al., 1961). Youngboys were studied in a mock summer camp situation. They were broken intotwo groups and their behavior was studied. It was revealed that regardless oftwo groups’ similarity, group members will behave viciously toward theout-group when competing. The in-group/out-group bias could readily be seen inthe boys' behaviors toward each other. They underestimated the performance ofthe other group and overestimated the performance of their own group. Moreover,'the pro-ingroup tendency went hand in hand with the anti-outgrouptendency'. Churchill speech is utilizing this natural bias that appears tooccur between two opposing groups to motivate his audience to defeat the enemy.
