Compassion International

By using the image of a smiling mother and son, the ad associates itself with pathos; what the viewer can do instead of dealing with pain. The ad uses an example of an ideal picture of a happy family, which relates to the wants of parents and adults who seek relief from pain. An

Pathos is another word for sympathy. In the speech “People and Peace, not Profits and War,” Chisholm states in lines 5-8, “As a teacher, and as a woman, I do not think I will ever understand what kind of values can be involved in spending $9 billion -- and more, I am sure -- on elaborate, unnecessary, and impractical weapons when several thousand disadvantaged children in the nation’s capital get nothing” (39). Chisholm uses pathos to show her feelings about the children. In his Vietnam speech, Martin Luther King Jr. states, “We have destroyed their two most cherished institutions: the family and the village. We have destroyed their land and their crops. We have cooperated in the crushing of the nation’s only non communist revolutionary political force, the unified Buddhist Church. We have supported the enemies of the peasants of Saigon. We have corrupted their women and children and killed their men” (156). King uses pathos so that the readers agree with his opinions on the Vietnam War. In “Let America be America Again” by Langston Hughes, he calls himself the farmer, the worker, the negro, and the people (1). Hughes wants people to realize how unfortunate he is and he wants people to sympathize with his feelings. Pathos triggers the reader’s emotions. They begin to sympathize with whoever is displaying their feelings. Authors may use this device to help the readers see the situation in their point of

Rhetorical questions such as, “twice I have wondered, what compels this woman to feed this man? Pity? Care? Compassion? Or does she simply want to rid her shop of his troublesome presence?” (57) makes the reader question themselves and figure out why people would be compassionate. Asher is able to bring out the audience’s feelings about homeless people and why people are kind to them by describing other people’s questionable actions. Phrases like, “his eyes fix on the baby” (57) confuses the reader about whether the mother gave the homeless man money out of “fear or compassion” (57). Her words are delicately planned out to make the reader feel puzzled about whether humans are actually compassionate or if they do things for other reasons.

The Charity: Water Campaign, the creators of this ad, utilize the three rhetorical appeals to promote donations for clean water. Pathos is the first rhetorical appeal the audience will see in the "Charity Water: Imagine" ad. Pathos is used to appeal to readers', or in this case viewers', emotions. There are many emotions the creators of this ad could manipulate but the main two seen here are compassion and fear.

Children in poverty are becoming the poorest age group in the United Sates. According to the National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP), a U.S. family of three living in deep poverty survives on an annual income below $9,276, or less than $9.00 a day per family member. Unfortunately, children face many difficulties in the United States living in deep poverty because they are not able to

“A healing hospital is a place characterized by thousands of small and wonderful things and a few big ones. At the center is love. More than anything else, supports a strong culture of caring. It expresses the deep passion of both patients and caregivers” (Chapman, 2003). Healing hospitals focus on patient-centered care.

Compassion international started in 1952 when American evangelist Everett Swanson’s heart was broken at seeing children orphaned by the Korean War, dying in the streets. Although he was ministering troops at the time, Swanson left South Korea promising to help the children. By 1975, Compassion International had expanded to seventeen other developing countries with more than 25,000 sponsored children. Two years later, Compassion Australia started in Laurie & Olive McCowan’s Newcastle home with the sponsorship of a single child. Compassion International grew to 250,000 sponsored children by 1998, 500,000 in 2003 & eventually 1 million in 2009.

As affluent as society is today, we must recognize the less fortunate and how they get there. As we learn more about the poverty-stricken, we can understand them better to aid them and break the cycle. Overwhelming amounts of people do not realize the global pandemic that poverty is today. The statistics are heartbreaking. Over half of the children in the world live in poverty, and there are nearly 2.2 billion children in the world. Campaigns have been established to recognize poverty globally. The effectiveness of these campaigns remains relatively undisclosed, yet they are still continuous. The methods used to advocate for and promote awareness for poverty vary depending on the community, this, as a result, ultimately determines the impact of the poverty campaigns.

Max Carver once said, “Empathy is the starting point for creating a community and taking action. It’s the impetus for creating change.” Empathy is a universal concept used by photographers, journalists, and authors to call about action and influence change. Figurative language as well as rhetoric can evoke as much empathy from an audience as disconcerting photographs. Hence the question is, are words more effective at eliciting empathy than illustrations? “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair, “Migrant Mother” by Dorothea Lange, and “Harvest Gypsies” by John Steinbeck all evoke empathy. However, I found the figurative language and rhetoric from “The Jungle” to be the best at evoking empathy from me.

During both of the World Wars, the United States was short on money and supplies for the soldiers overseas, so they made posters to gain support from the people still at home. The posters showcased government bonds that Americans could buy that were essentially loans to the United States government. In order to get people to spend the small amounts of money they had, the posters used emotions and tone to persuade the American citizens to buy the bonds. The term used for the emotional looking pictures to showcase the author’s message is pathos. Many of the posters used during the wars used pathos to get their message across.

Elie Wiesel uses the rhetorical appeal of pathos in his speech that which he states “Indifference is not the beginning, it is an end. And therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor--never the victim, whose pain magnifies when he or she feels forgotten.” By saying this Elie impacts the reader and his audience on an emotional level. It makes them think about how people in that situation may have felt, also how you might of felt if you were presented with that same situation.

Swift introduces his pamphlet and sets the setting with a couple of examples of pathos. He begins illustrating this concern with an image of a poor mother with her famishing children around her. Swift writes, “These mothers instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in strolling to beg” (356). This example Swift included sets an emotional connection between the audience and the impoverished, so that the audience can feel empathy for them thus getting the audience to listen. If that wasn’t enough, Swift mentions how these innocent

“Poverty is about not having enough money to meet basic needs including food, clothing and shelter” (“What is Poverty,” 2016). In the United States, there are 45 million Americans are living in poverty (“45 Million Americans,” 2014). In order to determine if one is living in poverty, the United States Census Bureau has established a poverty line that they then measure, according to the individual’s income and their family size (“Poverty Thresholds,” 2016; “Poorest Cities in America,” 2016). Since the recession in 2008, many states have seen a rise of families living in poverty. Poverty is a vicious cycle and has devastating effects on young children.

This speech makes evident that Pathos is the most important of the three rhetorical appeals, to the point where nearly every example of Pathos and Logos are to some extent, also examples of Pathos. The pulling on emotional chords inspiring individuals to act immediately supports the purpose of rallying a nation together in support of change. Pathos takes precedence in this speech, with Logos and Ethos following.

Chief administrative officers (CAO) is in charge of nearly every aspect of a company, typically only answering to the chief executive officer and the CAOs are employed in a wide array of industries and have many functions depending on the size and scope of their company (Amico, 1999-2013). He or she will handle the hiring and training of the top-level employees and managers. The CAO will make sure the employees work as a team. A chief administrative officer will need to understandthe company 's policies and overall mission. He or she will need to give the employees job descriptions that is best suited for that employee. According to Amico (1999-2013), ?He must delegate, organize and come up with new ideas to help the company 's bottom line anda chief administrative officer must have strong verbal and written communication skills? (para, 2-3). In this paper, the problem will be stated. Issues and how to solve the health needs of an African country will be discussed.
