How Does Shirley Chisholm Use Of Ethos Pathos Logos

“I am, was, and always be a catalyst for change” (Chisholm, 1970). Shirley Chisholm was a Visionary Leader and Ethical Leader by challenging the country to live up to ideals of equality and opportunity, while navigating the rough political landscape, contending with racial and gender discrimination. In this essay, I will review how Shirley Chisholm used her visionary leadership traits by becoming the first African American congresswoman to create diversity and how she used Idealized Influence to garner votes to run for U.S. presidency. Additionally, I will review how Chisholm displayed Ethical Leadership by challenging the seniority system in Congress and how she used her moral values to stand up for what she believed in. Finally, I will review how Shirley Chisholm’s visionary and ethical leadership behavior is personally relevant to me. First, let’s review how Chisholm used her visionary leadership traits.

A personal ethos is another factor used in Chisholm speech, to convey women who have been discriminated of their gender. There has been unprecedented prejudice that tends to be ignored from people, since every time we think about prejudice we think about the black community. But that 's not the case, Chisholm confirms with her own personal experience that women, in general, are being prejudices in politics. Chisholm claims that “as a black person, I am no stranger to race prejudice. But the truth is that in the political world I have been far oftener discriminated against because I am a woman than because I am black”(Chisholm, 149). Her history as an African American woman, Congresswoman makes her claim, and for the courage, she took in entering the presidential nomination in the Democratic party in 1972, the speech she has to introduce makes it believable and gives credibility to the reader.

To be a woman meant that one had no say in regards to political affairs or in government making decisions. If being a woman had limitations, imagine what a black woman experienced, as they were considered less than human and mistreated more than any other female from any different background. In “A Plea for the Oppressed”, Lucy Stanton, one such black woman, tried to avail her people’s plight upon an audience of white women, to support the antislavery and reform cause.

April 3, 1964, Malcolm X gives his well renowned speech; The Ballot or the Bullet in Cleveland Ohio. His purpose behind the speech is to encourage African-Americans of the United States to stand up to the unfair treatment that he believes they receive. Throughout the speech, Malcolm X creates an ambition in the audience, encouraging change through the numerous uses of ethos, logos, and pathos. Malcolm X uses his personal experiences to show the audience that he has experienced the same negativity that they do everyday. X suggests everyone should be treated equally; religion, gender and race aside. His audience was made up of a majority of African-Americans, he uses the common ground of wanting to achieve equal treatment to show his audience he is on the same side as them. Through the organization of the speech, it is rhetorically effective. He practices the phrase “The Ballot or the Bullet” which uses repetition, forcing listeners to remember the phrase which later becomes more effective. X begins using ethos by introducing himself, immediately gaining the attention of the audience as well as respect of the audience. X then makes the current problem in the African-American community extremely clear to the audience, this is his use of pathos, where he engages them in his thought process and bringing them in using emotion. The speech uses rhetoric to emotionally and logically

Pathos is important in this speech when you are trying to change others views on women’s rights. Hillary uses emotional appeals to the audience when she describes them as wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters; referring them to women in our own lives; evoking the listener to imagine if their loved one were in the same position. Clinton talks about the appalling desecrations such as gendercide. Clinton states the demands of women that remain silent. By using repetitive language, she starts all the statements with “It is a violation of human rights when….”.All eight statements are relevant examples of different scenarios that happen to women around the world. “It is a violation of human rights

She worked with Jesse Jackson, presidential candidate, on the Congress of Black Women (The Famous People).

As Meredith Grey, my fictional idol from Grey’s anatomy would say, “Progress looks like a bunch of failures”. A main focus of this semester was learning our audience, and convincing people of things through writing and or visuals using ethos pathos and or logos. I did not see the connections of any of my papers from the first to second semester at first. But my memoir from the first semester and my campaign project from this semester both use pathos, emotion. For me it was easiest to write about the pathos, but the ethos and logos part was out of my reach. I left some of my comfort writing the campaign paper using all 3 and it gave me a better understanding as a writer to keep in mind who am I talking to, what message am I trying to get across

Shirley Chisholm’s deep involvement within the community strengthened her political influence. She grew more alert to the problems that affected her people such as police brutality, poverty, and women’s lack of rights. Chisholm was an active participant in many community groups such as the League of Women Voters and the Seventeenth Assembly District Democratic Club while also being active in the Democratic Party. Through her experiences, she gained great leadership skills by having responsibilities and learning the art of organizing and

“Fighting Shirley Chisholm” is what Chisholm called herself during her first Congressional Campaign. Beginning with her inauguration in 1968, championed liberal legislation from her seat in the house. In 1969 Chisholm became the first African-American Congresswoman. She represented New York's 12th Congressional District for seven terms from 1969 to 1983.After initially being assigned to the House of Forestry Committee, she shocked many by demanding reassignment. Chisholm was placed on the Veterans’ affair committee, eventually, she graduated to the Education and labor Committee and became one of the Founding members of the Congressional Black

In accounts of true crime seen today, rhetoric is often used to impact readers and how they receive the information presented in the article or given argument. The use of rhetorical devices such as ethos, pathos, and logos ensures that the information appeals to not only one area of communication, and effectively gets across to the intended audience.

The use of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos is presented in the three videos provided through a wide array of examples. In the first video, Drunk History- Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks, the writers use of comedy was used to provide a broad narration of a particular civil rights movement. Logos is a form of persuasion through the “[representation] of arguments and evidence in the matter under discussion” (Campbell 38). In the first video, the use of logos was presented by their wardrobe selection. The use of old time clothing created an antique like structure that would capture the viewers. The second form of logos was presented through the attitude of Claudette Colvin stating “I paid my fare the same as this white lady paid her fare.” This showed Colvin’s logic and reasoning to

This cartoon appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos in a variety of ways. Ethos is "what modern students of communication refer to as credibility" (Lucas 353). Ethos is shown by the figures at the bottom stating that they held her seat open since 1955 to mark the year she stood up for her rights. Pathos is depicted through the pride illustrated in the cartoon. For example, it shows Rosa Parks entering heaven as angels say "we have something in the front row for you..." because she fought for her spot on the bus and changed the way of life for future African Americans. The angels were praising her for her accomplishments. Logos is illustrated throughout the entire cartoon because it is logical that such an inspiring woman would be held a seat and

Marion Blumenthal Lazan and Maya Angelou’s are two very inspirational, intelligent, and smart women. Marion Lazan was a Holocaust survivor that tells her story all around the world today about the gruesome trudges that she experienced at a young age. Maya Angelou was a poet, author, civil rights activist, and the list goes on and on. She is known for her memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings in 1969.

Her point of view is being a woman. Which at the time did not have many rights and were not treated very fairly. One rights they did not have is the right to vote which Susan B. Anthony broke. But that helped her be able to become heard and talk about how woman should have the same rights as men do. Her reasoning behind this is because they are all human. So since she is a human she is obligated to natural born rights. Which are protected by the government. Also the evidence she brings up are documents made specifically to protect the rights of humans. She even quotes the Declaration of Independence.which is probably one of the most important document in U.S history. She appeals to lothos when she says that she can vote because it's a natural born right. She appeals to ethos When she brings up the Declaration of Independence. She appeals to pathos when she talks about if women are legally considered

It would only be fair to state that Mary Fisher was biased in her arguments in favor of lifting the "shroud of silence" that the Republican Party had put over the issue of AIDS with as she herself was HIV positive. (Fisher) But her main point in the speech was to get the audience to realize that it did not matter what color, sexual orientation, age, or political affiliation a person was; everyone was threatened by this disease. And to get her point across, she opened her speech with the shocking statement that despite all that the government has done to battle the AIDS epidemic, it is "the epidemic which is winning tonight." (Fisher)
