“Sorry I’m late, traffic was crazy!” That excuse has been used by everyone at least once. There are many people who use excuses like that all the time because they have no responsibility for themselves. There are a couple people who never use excuses, those people are vulnerable and accept when they do wrong. The Achievement Habit by Bernard Roth has many examples of ethos, pathos, and logos in chapter 2, “Reasons are Bullshit” and makes an effective argument by using Aristotle’s rhetorical triangle.
Roth has a strong sense of ethos based on his credentials. The way he says things are always spoken without a filter and always blunt. He never has to sugar coat anything. He teaches at the D school in Stanford University. He has an honorary PhD
