The general purpose of any proposal is to get your audience to change their minds about some important issue?

Question

Is that true or false? I think it is false b/c it is to persuade readers to do something not change their minds or is that sort of the same thing

Answer 1

Not in the real world .. no-one would put forward a proposal that they knew their audience was already opposed to ...

... typically the proposal is to CONFIRM the direction / decision already wanted / suggested before hand ..

Answer 2

I personally think that a proposal is to share a new idea on an important issue. Persuasion is to get more people to agree with you, whether or not they already do.
