Ethos

Instead of saying “ social responsibility”, he accidentally says “ social equality” and is immediately asked for clarification from his white audience who are shocked about the comment. On page 31 the the narrator recalls “the laughter hung smokelike in the sudden stillness” and the men asked if he was being “smart”. The narrator later apologizes for the…

Marketers have a very distinct way of winning over consumers with certain brands and logos. Having a child myself when I went to target to look at baby merchandise I could not help but notice items with cartoon characters on them that my three year old watch. There are several items with Disney characters and other logos that are familiar to my toddler. Parents might not realize just because of a character or a logo on a product they charge more for those items. The diapers by the same company…

Music lyrics express emotions, experiences, and tell stories. They are used to communicate with other people and for the artist to express themselves through song. “Music is what feelings sounds like” (Georgia Gates). The lyrics of popular music shouldn’t be censored because they aren’t harmful to children’s development, lyrics have meaningful content, they help people through rough times, and they teach about the world. Many favorite artists come from unique backgrounds, “some had to deal…

The picture above to me really represents two forms of argument, one known as logos (logic), and the other known as pathos (emotions or people). I believe what Apple is trying to do here is one of many things. First, it uses not necessarily sophisticated language, but that of which an educated person would primarily use over that, of say, a very uneducated person when it says “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”, therefore in my eyes appealing to, but not limited to the American economic…

1) Baldwin letter: Letter is one the oldest kind of written form addressed to a person or organization. At the beginning of a letter essay, the writer will specifically state the subject that he/she wrote to, but actually the audience can be more than that. For example, James Baldwin’s letter, he wrote to his nephew on the one hundredth anniversary of the emancipation as the title tell us. But I think he wanted to tell not only to his nephew, but also the younger generation to love their race…

Ethos is defined; the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its attitudes and aspirations. The Edinburgh Wolves aspire to be Div 1 champions and promoted to the perm this season. To the offense, this was put to us as a pyramid of success, with a base of Commitment, Unity and Discipline all strong components for a team. These three principles should be included with everything we do and how we do it as a team. Commitment must be shown by players and coaches in…

Julius Caesar. Brutus tends to appeal to logos and ethos while Antony focuses on appealing to the pathos of the audience. When all is said in done, however, the circumstances combined with Antony's skilled demagoguery made his speech the more compelling for the audience of the two. Brutus’s speech, despite not being quite as successful as Antony’s speech, still has its merits along with its flaws. Brutus’s strength are in his appeals to logos and ethos. For logos, Brutus lays out why he saw it…

regulations and put in place major Wall Street regulations to prevent future financial crises. These are all seemingly impossible dreams to accomplish but, he may accomplish them by his proficiency in the rhetorical elements of ethos, logos, and pathos. According to BYU, ethos means, “the persuasive appeal of one’s character”. Throughout the debate, Sanders attempted to make it seem like he was a righteous man, who will make good, moral decisions, for the betterment of all people. Sanders made…

I really wanted to find something real funny but since it is now late I had to settle. I choose a movie speech “Crimson Tide 1995”. Being that I once was in the Army and I have listen to many speeches from some of our Generals and heroes of the past I thought why not let’s pick this Navy movie be a little different. I thought it was kind of funny how he first addresses the sailors as little ducks. If you think about it the Captain in the movie could be like a mommy duck. Why do I say this well,…

Congregation Uproar Well respected Puritan Minister, Jonathan Edwards, in his sermon “Sinners In the Hands Of An Angry God” (1741), vilifies the consequences of unrepentant sinners. Edwards’s purpose was to outline for the congregation by the refusing of repenting would lead to many punishments. He implies a dramatic tone in order to propose that non repentance is inescapable. Edwards employs imagery, repetition, and vivid metaphors in his use of pathos. Edwards operation of imagery is…
