Examples Of Hello Being Ethos

Decent Essays
One example of Hello being Ethos is when I say "hello" to a girl and she said "hello" back. From me saying "hello" to the girl, we have started a conversation. So everyday when I say "hello" to her we start a new conversation. This is the right thing to do because this shows you have manners and its a friendly way to start a conversation. This also shows that if saying it back you are kind enough to say "hello" back and you wanna to be nice to that person. By saying "hello" it can lead to a million things.

    I spent the day observing all the conversations that I usually have with my friends and peers in order to determine how different people incorporate ethos, pathos, and logos into their day to day conversations. While I spoke with my sister, I noticed that she used a lot of pathos to try to persuade and convince me to agree with her in a series of different topics.

I was persuaded by the methods she used and she got me to do her chores for her by appealing to my sense of pity. I spoke to another friend who used ethos to persuade me to believing that he was credible in telling me a story based on his personal experience.…

An example of ethos in The Crisis No. 1 is “ I will not now enter into as an argument; my own simple opinion is, that had it been eight months earlier, it would have been much better.

However, the fault, if it were one, was all our own*; we have none to blame but ourselves ” (Paine 156).…

    The use of ethos is to build character. Wittner and Ellison’s usage of ethos is to show that throughout American history the morale around college has changed from education, to a way to make money. This is Wittner’s main rhetorical device, and he uses it very well. One example of Wittner’s ethos usage is (2015), “The tuition squeeze on young Americans results largely from severe reductions in state and local funding for public colleges and universities, usually initiated by conservative, budget-cutting governments” (para 6). The only issue with this, is that America is a capitalist country and the government will only listen to facts, rather than ethos and pathos.…
