Yes, good and convincing arguments can compel others to listen us. The arguments can be of two ways one theoretical based on ideas and other with facts and logic behind it. The latter is compelling arguments which attract the people to listen.

The knowledge of political theory enables one to think rationally and provide genuine logic with the help of factors like freedom, justice and equality.

This makes the argument an informed one. Hence makes others to listen.
