A Rhetorical Analysis Of Fetal Tissue Research Article

Pathos is the writers attempt to appeal to the audience emotions. For instance, “In June, a professor protecting himself with a pseudonym wrote an essay for Vox describing how gingerly he now has to teach. ‘“I’m a Liberal Professor, and My Liberal Students Terrify Me,”’ the headline said” (Lukianoff and Haidt). The authors appeal to emotion paints a picture in the reader’s mind, further opening their eyes to make them feel how the professor was feeling. Also, naming the article “The Coddling of the American Mind” was a great was to represent how the problem was being addressed. The use of the word “coddling” reflected the way colleges were treating their students like babies. Enforcing trigger warnings to protect the students are not helping them for the future. This appeals to pathos because the audience gets a glimpse of what the after effect of “babying” has on

Pathos is a rhetorical device that is meant to evoke emotion in the targeted audience. Anthony used pathos as a support system in order to make her speech effective (Phillips 251). Anthony’s speech evokes emotion in its readers not through use of emotional language, personal stories, or loaded words, but from her claim that women must not be considered citizens of the United States since they were not allowed to vote. As stated, the Constitution did not specify gender as they did race, color, or previous servitude, and yet women were denied the vote. The quote, “The only question to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not.” evokes emotion in the audience because evidently women were and are persons, this was an unjust statement to claim (Anthony paragraph 5). Anthony effectively used the unjust statement as a way of attracting her audience’s attention by challenging the opposition. Anthony also used this statement as a way of showing the audience that it was unreasonable not to consider women citizens, and in turn, allow them to

President Bush uses many pathos, which is the persuasion through emotion, throughout his speech to prove his point. President Bush calls out the victims of 9/11 who were “moms and dads” (Bush 1) and “friends and neighbors” (Bush 1). This is a persuasion through pathos because President Bush emphasizes the importance of these victims’ lives to other people. President Bush uses these names to influence his viewers to understand that many people loss very important people who cannot be replaced by any means. President Bush uses pathos again when he paints an image in our head of “airplanes flying into buildings [and] huge buildings collapsing” (Bush 1), which has “filled [this country] with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger” (Bush 1). This is pathos because Bush tries to influence the feeling of those who was not there and to help them understand. President Bush uses pathos in the form of imagery to persuade the nation how devastating this event is and how it has affect the emotions of many Americans. President Bush tries to appeal to the heart of the nation by using pathos to explain how terrible 9/11 was and its effects on the people.

The issue at hand was whether or not capital punishment should be allowed to continue in the United States, and why? In my arguments for capital punishment I used pathos to appeal to the human emotion of revenge. If someone had murdered your family member wouldn't you want them to be put to death? In my research paper arguing against capital punishment I was able to use pathos to appeal to the human emotion of forgiveness. After the perpetrator is put to death would that really make you feel at peace, would you really find the closure you were looking for, would it not be better to forgive and let go of that burden? In both positions I used logos to present the same statistics that when interpreted one way makes capital punishment seem as the ultimate deterrent. Though when they are shown another way the statistics paints the practice as a racist and discriminatorily applied measure with little effect on overall murder rates. However, in political issues such as these, while there is an ethos (or moral) appeal to each position these are by no means universal. Everyone has a distinct set of moral ideologies and as such it is quite difficult to implement a well executed ethos into a position paper. In the case of capital punishment the moral case for it lays in biblical principles and the idea of "crime and punishment," while the case against tends to highlight social justice issues in which those of minority ethnicity and lower socioeconomic status tend to be executed while wealthy Caucasians seldom if ever are. The proper execution of all three rhetorical strategies ultimately will mean the difference between an undecided reader adopting the position of the author or perhaps at worst even dismissing it out of hand as inappropriate or

The next element in the rhetorical situation is pathos. Pathos is defined as connecting the author and the reader using emotion. Pathos is more reader dependent than the other elements. Pathos helps the writer know to know their audience and who they are intending to write for. Connecting to the audience using pathos is a strong way to get the support of the reader. The audience needs to be moved by what they’re reading. Without pathos, the writer won’t be able to properly connect to their audience.

Pathos is to get peoples attention and draw them into to what they are reading to keep

Abortion is an issue that can go both ways and a topic that is very controversial. Is a fetus a human? Does its life matter? Or it wasn’t supposed to happen to me or I was raped. Many people can think of abortion as a good and bad thing, it just depends on what the person’s intuition about abortion is. I decided to go with the topic over abortion because I feel it is a broad topic and can go two ways as in being defensive or immortal. During this topic over abortion I will be including two articles, “A Defense of Abortion” and “Why Abortion Is Immoral”. These articles will explain the difference in how they think abortion can be taken. For instance, the first article will talk about why Judith argues why abortion is not too bad to be allowed

Pathos is used very effectively in Seth Davis’s article. By using pathos he is helping to expose the purpose of the article in a way that you wouldn’t think of before. Davis states “As the father of three children under the age of eight, I can only pray that someone “exploits” my sons someday

With the analysis of rhetorical strategies underway, I would like to discuss the presence of pathos in the speech. Sanger was a very passionate writer, and this allowed her to be absorbed into the paper. I noticed that, in Sanger’s speech, there were many emotionally loaded words. For example:

Knowing that this will provoke the reader's emotions and pull them in. She relies on using pathos, because she knows that if she reaches out to the audience's heart that she will be able to persuade them easier. Another area where she used pathos is when she claims“the horror of creeping depression or delusions that of peer derision, the sound of the C word in the hallways: crazy, man, he’s crazy, haven’t you seen him, didn’t you hear?” speaking of how us and others respond to mental illnesses. She uses the rhetorical device of pathos to make her claim seem more convincing and

The use of Pathos to create a sensation of trust in the Brainy Baby product. This trust was evoked by this well-known company that stated their product would make any baby smarter. The quote is " inspires logical thinking". If this product was truthful there would be thousands of little Einsteins running around. This product was tested and proven that it has the reverse effect Brainy Baby made babies a little bit slower at retaining things later. This video is supposed to help in "language" this plays on people's feeling that either their baby cries and just want them to talk or wishes their baby can get further in life. Sadly, too many of wishes and prayers this was proven as true. If parents want their child to get smarter teach them yourself

There are many people with permanent disability’s that contribute to our society in very useful ways. In most cases, these people are viewed as being courageous. This kind of a reaction is typical but not always honest. There are a lot of people are uncomfortable around those that are considered “less than normal”. In her article The Abortion Debate No One Wants to Have, Patricia Bauer writes about Down’s syndrome and abortion. Bauer is a former reporter and bureau chief for the Washington Post.

Media has an increasing part in public life, provoking emotions and swaying opinions. The power of the media is played out using language which is specially designed to persuade; But it is through rhetoric; ethos, pathos and logos (especially logos and ethos) that it tries to earn some credibility. Webster’s meaning for ‘Rhetoric’ is the art of speaking or writing effectively. Considering this, the tools of rhetoric- ethos, pathos and logos can be seen in the media coverage surrounding the events of 9/11, the Vietnam War and the Beaconsfield Mine disaster. The media at the time of 9/11 swamped the masses and portrayed ethos, persuading the viewers of an American unity, that could not be crushed, no matter how evil the attack.

Pathos driven messages appeal to a person’s emotions, and can often bring out emotions that can reside in them already. There are lots of ways to see them in our daily lives; on the Internet, the radio, or the television. An example of a heavily pathos driven message is UNICEF USA: Save a Child for Only 50 cents a Day.

Pathos: It is the use of emotion and affect to persuade the audience. In this appeal, the author creates an emotional statement: “ an overworked single mother may find herself over stressed and fatigued at the end of the day, making
