Analysis Of Samantha Powers's Speech On Overcoming UN Resolution

An example in Danielle speech is “We got so geeked-out on making WALL-E this convincing robot, that we made his binoculars practically optically perfect.” I think this is a great way to use pathos because, for one thing, it made the audience laugh. Another thing is that she connected it with what she was talking about. At this point in the TED talk, she is talking about how they use lighting to make the characters stand out. Throughout her speech, she uses pathos to engage the audience. To help explain what she is talking about without boring people. She used pathos so they could be

Another way Blanco gets ahold of her audience’s attention is through ethos, or credibility. She

In any powerful speech, the speaker communicates and relates directly to his or her audience. Elie Wiesel does a superb job of doing this in his Perils of Indifference speech, given in April 1999. His use of pathos

As was first mentioned, the use of Pathos, Logos, and Ethos is a common device woven throughout the body of the speech. The first one to appear is Ethos, where she consistently and repetitively reminds the audience of her status. “I speak as a Republican. I speak as a woman. I speak as a United States Senator. I speak as an American.” The first and the third are the most blatantly reputable, but all of these

Ethos is a strategy used to assure the audience of the author’s integrity and character. To begin the speech, Wiesel says “Mr. President, Mrs. Clinton, members of Congress, Ambassador Holbrooke, Excellencies, friends”, he is putting himself and the listeners who were not specifically specified onto the same level, to connect better with them (Wiesel, 1999/16, p. 76). He is showing the audience that he is human and respects everyone, but furthermore does not want anyone to

The use of pathos in a speech gives the audience assurance that the speaker understands the depth of the issues in topic, as well as sustains the argument by giving a visual that makes the logical claims stronger and more memorable. Clinton outlines the severity of issues for women around the world, quoting, “women comprise more than half the world’s population, 70% of the world’s poor, and two-thirds of those who are not taught

Any speech tries to persuade the audience to accomplish the goal of the speaker. There are multiple modes of persuasion. These modes include Logos and Pathos. Logos is the actual evidence and argument whereas pathos is the speakers appeal to the audience’s emotions. In Mary Fisher’s 1992 Republican National Convention Address also known as “A Whisper of AIDS” Fisher speaks to America about the seriousness of HIV and AIDS. Fisher uses both logos and pathos to appeal to the audience. She urges America to take action by using evidence and experiences to promote emotions and certain attitudes to her audience.

Of the three modes of persuasion, ethos, encompasses a person’s credibility. Their credibility is defined by how often then speak truths, if they have good sense, are a morally upstanding person, and their overall goodwill. Sarah Knight is a Cum Laude Harvard English Literature graduate. Simply knowing this can give a positive impression to an audience even before. she has come on stage. She is educated, well spoken, and well versed. The listener could interpret her education and intelligence as a boost to her credibility.

The speaker Emma Gonzalez is persuasive about her speech ‘We call BS’ a student at the Parkland, Florida high school, calls out President Trump and the NRA by name at an anti-gun rally in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Gonzalez always showed her logos and ethos by stating that she carried notes from her AP class with her which shows she prepared and she knows what she’s doing. She also stated facts about past shooting which supported her belief strongly. Her pathos was shown when she would emphasize some statements to show she really meant it and it showed that she really wanted to change the problem. She spoke loud and clear as well and managed not to cry in front of the crowd.

Aristotle wrote that we can be persuaded by three things: reason (logos), the character of the speaker (ethos), and our own emotions (pathos).

Ethos is also a form of persuasion used through the alterations of “[the] charisma and the credibility of the speaker” (Demirdöğen 191). The emphasizing of the NAACP organization provided a sense of credibility because it was a personal brand for the civil rights movement. In addition to the presence of the NAACP, the video demonstrated how E.D Nixon, president of NAACP, wanted to use Rosa Parks as the face of the revolution opposed to Claudette Colvin. This was because Colvin was only 15 years old, and would result in decreased credibility. Pathos uses “emotional or affective appeals” as a form of persuasion (Feltham 532). This rhetoric strategy is used throughout the entire video through the expression of comedy and language. The use of inspirational words such as “equal rights” and “revolution” were used to appeal the viewer’s values. The president’s action words are most likely intended to

Barbara Bush gave a speech unlike any other, a speech to an audience that had gone as far as to protest her even coming to speak to the point where her husband the President of the United States had to stand up for her (Eidenmuller). A speech that combined the use of Aristotle's Ethos, Pathos, and Logos in such a manner that each aspect grew the next. As one aspect developed in her speech it boosted the other up as well, allowing her to come from behind and present the True American Dream - the individual's personal dream. To an audience that despite her individual accomplishments looked down on her because of her Title First Lady.

Jane Addams does a good job of not only using ethos, but she makes it so that she can tie it to here pathos. What that does is that it makes her a credible source and it emulates a certain emotion that gets the audience to not only agree with her, but they can sympathize with her as well.

Her use of pathos allows her to connect with the audience on an emotional level and helps drive home her argument.

On September 5, 1995, Hilary Clinton gave a speech at the United Nations Fourth World Conference for women's equality, in Beijing, China. Present at the conference were were, 189 governments and more than 5000 representatives of non governmental organizations. The issue that Mrs. Clinton is addressing in this speech is the disrespect towards women and the violation of their rights. She uses pathos an emotional appeal, to get her audience to feel the same way that she does about the issue. She also uses exigence to bring the audience deeper into the conversation. She has been fighting for women’s rights for many years, and she wants her audience to realize how much of a problem it has become and that it needs to be stopped. Her goal is to make her audience believe that women’s rights are human rights through exigence and pathos. Mrs. Clinton also uses the rhetorical element of kairos in her speech. She picks a perfect moment in time, and location to deliver her speech. Though women’s rights is a problem all over the world, it is especially bad in China where the speech is taking place. Clinton is trying to address the issue where it is most relevant. There are many examples of emotional appeals in this speech, and that is how Mrs. Clinton convinces her audience that what she is articulating on is how this issue should be resolved. Through her speech Mrs. Clinton uses pathos to show how women are important to
