Throughout our lifetime, many people strive to be respected and honored in their own rights within their social class and their society. Therefore, in order to be respected one must be respectful, credible, trustworthy as well as honest. Hence, these traits form the core principal of what is known as good ethos. Ethos, clarified and explained by a famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle; is one of the vital elements of communication and speaking. Thus, one of the essential purposes of ethos is to persuade an individual or a group into agreeing, believing or setting a certain objective to be fulfilled using persuasion as the main component. Thus, ethos can be used both for acceptable or destructive purposes depending on the speaker and the speaker 's objective. Furthermore, ethos not only presents credibility for the speaker, but also the objective, he or she tries to make the audience believe as well as showing what kind of character the speaker possesses. With persuasion being a vast element of our lives in the United States. Hence, it is common to notice the majority of persuasion is on television as well as the social media; moreover, with the support of :"The O 'Reilly Factor vs. Jeremy Glick", "The Arete Of Amusement...", Aristotle 's definition of Ethos, the main concept of ethos will be interpreted. Beginning with "The O 'Reilly Factor" presented by Fox News, there are various reasons why the show as well as the newscast as a whole does not present satisfactory ethos.…

Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates in Psycho, and Glenn Close as Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction, each played the character portrayed as mentally unstable. The two actors seamlessly fell into their parts and led the audience to believe they were truly insane. In the beginning, each of the two lived what appeared to be normal lives. Anthony Perkins managed his mother’s motel that had become a ghost-town after the new highway had been build, which completely cut off access to the motel. Glenn Close…
Introduction On Dec 17, 1903 the Wright Brothers would achieve what others said was impossible. On this day the Wright brothers successfully executed the first human controlled flight reaching a record breaking distance, flying 852 feet for 59 seconds (2015). Wilbur Wright’s visionary leadership was demonstrated, through his inspirational motivation and team dynamics. His pursuit to be the “first in flight” would inspire innovators like him to explore the limits of early day aviation. However,…
Hearing the undeniable sound of the TARDIS close by is what brings me out of my paralytic state. I quickly shove the paper into my pocket and sprint in search of that blue box which is so much bigger on the inside. While running in the direction that the noise came from, I notice that my surroundings are like a barren desert but not like any desert that I have seen. I begin to slow down to further take note of my new location but once I look up I notice something different and quite strange.…
discover Greenwald’s personal interests as the author states it out right, discussing these matters and his beliefs of their importance outright. Glenn’s beliefs are echoed in the words of Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis when Greenwald quoted a statement in a case where Brandeis remarked that “the right to be left alone is the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by a free people”16 this essentially summed up what appears to be Greenwald’s core view of Snowden’s case.…

The Rochester City Council denied her driver's license because she was only thirteen years of age, although, they did not yet a minimum driving age. A few years later, in 1910, Betty became the first woman to travel from New-York to San Francisco (six thousand miles). After the trip, Scott was accepted to be Glenn H. Curtiss’ first and only female student. During one of Betty’s “grass-cutting” sessions,…
Another delicate nuance that I would like to consider about her marriage. In order to remarry she should probably discuss it with her only son, who by the way was the prince and could have his father’s throne. Neither the movie nor the text do not speak about it, but if we try to picture the possibility that they might have discussed her marriage, Hamlet definitely would oppose to her marriage plan, which after all Gertrude ignored, or perhaps she did not discuss it with Hamlet which she had…
This is why they are known to be the "fathers of modern aviation." Thanks to the Wright brother, World War I was the first major conflict that airplanes were used on a large scale. At the beginning of the war, planes were very basic. The very first powered flight was back in 1903 when the Wright brother flew their own design. The first crossing of the English Channel was in 1909 by Louis Bleriot. (History.com) So it is safe to say that in 1914, airplanes were still very crude. It was not until…
