Plain Folks




A Plain Folks argument is one in which the speaker presents him or herself as an Average Joe , a common person who can understand and empathize with a listener's concerns. The most important part of this appeal is the speaker's portrayal of themselves as someone who has had a similar experience, to the listener, and knows why they may be skeptical or cautious about accepting the speaker's point of view.
