In modern times, persuasion is used to convince people to perform certain jobs and to complete certain objectives. This is usually done by convincing people with all the benefits of doing such task; a common example is for the sake of money. Persuasion, for the most part, tells of all the good and none of the bad. Argumentation, however, gives both perspectives while at the same time is also persuading. In fact one might say that argumentation is not just more powerful than persuasion, but is also a more powerful version of it.
Persuasion, in a way, is only half-baked because your not giving the audience the full story. Your just telling the audience what they want to hear. Argumentation is a form of speech in which the audience receives all the information regarding the topic, both the good and the bad. It also gives the effort of addressing a counter argument, then bringing down said counter argument in order to increase the overall relevancy of the previous argument.
