No, because a tree falls in the middle of the woods and there is no one around to hear it, so it can't make a sound! A sound is something you hear. It would make a noise.

yes it does make a sound because if something falls it gives off sound waves. the sound waves move out further and further, but the sound waves stop after a while. just because you cant hear doesnt mean its not there......its like yelling at someone who is deaf with someone right beside you. the deaf person cant hear you but the person that's not deaf can hear you because your voice gives off sound waves!

What is the term frame-shifting in Philosophy?

"Frame shifting" is a diversionary tactic used in rhetoric as a way of flip-flopping between one or more moot points. The focal point of an argument is thus changed over and is never addressed or given a chance to bring to its logical conclusion. Because the focus of the argument is thrown into disarray it thus gives the erroneous illusion that your opponent cannot successfully argue against your position or that you have refuted him/her. FS is similar to changing the subject. The term frame shifting is based off of the analogy of someone who is just taking a frame from a picture and running around showing you different things. "Hey look at this! Ok but what about this! Oh or this!" The argument can take the following form, Jess: Al why haven't you cleaned your room? Al: Oh yah well what about you! You haven't done the dishes yet! Jess: What does that have to do with cleaning your room? Al: You know what Mom use to do the dishes all the time and she never asked me to clean my room. Jess: ?? FS is not considered a fallacy because there is no argument being made. Before any of these moot points can be addressed the topic is changed. FS is however a rhetorical device and considered a bias/dishonest way of arguing. A person using FS may be working off of a presupposition or paradigm paralysis/confirmation bias.

What is the role of critical thinking in persuasion?

Being able to evaluate in an objective and subjective manner that which you want to persuade somebody of something is an essential skill as you need to think through all the possible retalliations the person you are tring to presuade will come up with and be fore armed with answers, before they know they are going to ask the questions themselves. One role would be knowing the subject well enough that you can analyze what information would convince someone to come around to your way of thinking.
