The Undefined and Unknown Rational View of the Word “Ethos”
The year is 2015 and every state is trying to define borderless border as the world is becoming smaller due to positive and negative progress in the different habits of society, markets, technologies, economies, and politics. Advances concerns the international relation realms body is this new era of the “age of globalization” as the world becomes flatter, actively horizontal, with their inter-state policies aimed in the global-economics more than ever constitutes the inverse role from individual to state opposite to the presumed assumption of state-individual structure relation. However, divisions are still harshly marked within groups made up by the same individuals composing

In order to understand such global view of causes and effects is necessary to look into the controversial meaning of the the word ‘ethos’ by Elizabeth Toking as she interprets its significance rooted form an early Greek definition in Homer as; “large undifferentiated groups of either animals or warrior, not from known familiar sites”. Fast-forwarding, Toking’s concept applies to our present times as it represents the categorization for …show more content…
Human Nature is a process that by which we try to apply laws to have a domain over uncertainties only because we do not understand how to properly come out with a more logical resolutions. I believe that humans are part of nature and we are to set are laws in accordance to naturals laws. ‘Ethos’ is not the definition for a unfamiliar group in society but a unfamiliar species in nature where we all play parts of it and is or our better interest to do what is best in a common goal, and to stop to try to define ethnicity as the color of the light, as light is just an electromagnetic spectrum conformed by all colors through one medium,
Ethos is a set of values held either by an individual or by a community, reflected in their language, social attitudes and behavior. There are two independent concepts within Ethos, Personality and Stance. Personality
This is an example of ethos because “Generally speaking, it might be said that discipline are techniques for assuring the ordering of human multiplicities. It is true that there is nothing exceptional or even characteristics in this: every system or power or presented with the same problem” ( Foucault, 2012, p. 207). Foucault was a French historian and philosopher. He had a strong influence in philosophy, but also in a wide range of humanistic and social scientific disciplines. Foucault was the philosopher who created the term, “Panopticism”.
As a result one of these many examples shows Ethos, where the text exclaims, "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the
After considering the information in this week’s instructor guidance and readings, I understand ethos, pathos, and logos to be... Ethos: is used in an argument when the writer would like to appeal to their audience’s ethics. If a reader can see the credibility in the writer’s opinion they are likely to believe their argument. Pathos: is used in an argument when the writer would like to appeal to their audience’s emotion. Pathos is often used to evoke an emotional response from the audience.
Nicholas D. Kristof once stated, “You will be judged in years to come by how you responded to genocide on your watch.” Seeing what people have done in history, it's simply easy to say that Kristof is right. He also hits a little close to home because genocide is like dirty dishes. Everyone knows about it, but just try to ignore them, until someone else does something about it. Let it stink up the kitchen, let it get moldy.
Greek Appeals and Literary Devices in Freedom Arguments Aristotle’s belief that all arguments could be broken down into one or more of the three categories, logos, the logical approach, ethos, the ethical approach, and pathos, the emotional approach, holds true in not only “The Declaration of Independence,” but also “The Declaration of Sentiments,” and “The Bill of Rights.” “The Declaration of Independence,” written in 1776 by Thomas Jefferson, and the “The Declaration of Sentiments,” completed in 1848 by Elizabeth Cady Stanton were both created in the same format, with Stanton’s document based off of Jefferson’s. For “The Declaration of Sentiments,” both freedom and equality were sought while “The Declaration of Independence” assisted the
The world is not a large and strange place anymore. The world is a place that is interconnected and intertwined. The world has become from a place that each country and their peoples are separate and isolated to a place that each country and their peoples are part of a global network. Thanks to globalization this is occurring. Globalization is the ‘international integration” or ‘de-bordering’ – “a number of highly disparate observations whose regular common denominator is the determination of a profound transformation of the traditional nation-state” (Von Bogdandy 2). Globalization is connecting different people from different cultures and backgrounds together. More and more corporations are entering new foreign markets to sell their
“Generally speaking, it might be said that discipline are techniques for assuring the ordering of human multiplicities. It is true that there is nothing exceptional or even characteristics in this: every system or power or presented with the same problem” ( Foucault 207). This is an example of ethos because, a prominent philosopher Foucault, is the mastermind of Panopticism, he created the word Panopticism and he explained how without discipline, society wouldn’t be able to function.
In these two article globalization and the increase of globalism is described in two very different ways. Waltz arguing from a realist’s perspective; that the politics of the state is ultimately affected within globalization. R.O.keohane and J.S.Nye Jr express a liberal opinion, arguing the many different factors that affect the increase in globalism.
The ancient Greeks with their brilliant and imaginative spirit created a complete order of things that functioned harmoniously in the infinite world that contained them. Although its exact origins are lost in time, Greek religion is thought to date from about the 2d millenium B.C., when the culture of Aryan invaders fused with those of the Aegean and Minoan peoples who had inhabited the region of Greece from Neolithic times [1]. The beginning and the genesis of this world occupied the ancient Greeks in much the same way it did the early people of every civilization. Greek religion was at the beginning a blend of Minoan, Egyptian, Asian, and other elements, but it subsequently evolved along with Greek thought.
As a result globalisation has also undone some important cultural and psychological underpinnings of sovereignty. However, it is imperative to note that the effect of globalisation on different nation states will not be the same, because states differ domestically, historically, politically and socio-culturally. Therefore, states will make different policy choices in response to the same global phenomena (Held 1989, 237).
In this article called “Globalization and Global Political Theory,” talks about how our culture, economics, political, and respectable relationship with complete strangers from all over the
Global Integration “Global integration is shrinking time, shrinking space and eroding national boundaries.” (IMF & World Bank) Globalisation possibly the most important force at work at this time in history describes the process of increase integration and interdependence between national economies. It depicts the breaking down of national boundaries leading to the establishment of a single world market. This inevitable process of globalisation has and will continue to be accelerated by the electronic revolution. Advancement in telecommunications and information technology has lead to growth in cross border relationships initiated by the drivers of globalisation.
The concept of globalization is a complex and peculiar one, failing to be definable by a single, precise definition. Centrally, globalization involves information and goods being exchanged amongst different countries. These interactions and interchanges among countries globally over time is due to an increase in communication and transport networks. Globalization is often divided into three main areas being economic globalization, cultural globalization and political globalization. All three are vital areas to one’s life and globalization is said to have a large impact on each. Although globalization is controversial in the aspect that it cannot be declared just how much of an influence the notion has in the world. Political scientists such as Muhammad Ijaz Latif, Anton Pelinka and Martin Wolf all discuss this issue in their respective pieces as well as differing aspects of globalization such as the role the European Union plays in relation to globalization, the different perspectives of globalization and the challenges of the nation-state in regards to globalization.
The world is becoming a smaller community through technological advances and international travel opportunities that make communication and interaction with others around the world a common occurrence. Some world leaders envision a global community that would lead to a one-world-order to include government and commerce. Globalization has been on the rise but is not shared and accepted by all. Nationalism continues to play a significant part in international interactions. With its goal of European unification for economic and political voice, the European Union (EU) can be used as a model for globalization. This paper will consider if using the EU as a model is a valid argument.
