If you could use the three appeals to appeal to multiple audiences whilst satisfying them all, in theory, life would be easier. However, that is not the case. Your appeals would not be effective to say the least. This is a flaw that affects most newspaper editorials. They seem to have many audiences and they three appeals are take little to no effect. This happened in Sinha’s editorial, “Why do doctors commit suicide?” (2014). He argues that a doctor who is able to express their fears, emotions, frustrations & can receive help is a more efficient doctor and that factors in the medical culture could be a possible influence of their frustrations (Sinha, 2014).

In paragraph 2, he provides statistics on deaths that happen during residency. This is considered a flaw because he gives an opinion as reasoning and in this case, his opinions don’t really matter. Even though he claims that “he cannot presume or speak for them” (Sinha, 2014, para. 1) he contradicts himself. Stating a reasoning from a credible source would have made persuasion even stronger. Provision of statistics without any explanation and correlation to the points leave no room for
