These appeals together form what Aristotle calls a rhetorical triangle.

The use of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos to appeal to the audience is very prominent in documentary. During the course of the film the directors bring in many experts to help develop and support the claim made. For example, Min Hwang, who is part of the Women’s Hope Center for Crisis Pregnancy of South Korea, deals with pregnant women who have been beaten by family members due to South Korean culture. Min Hwang explains a personal experience with a direct cause of child abandonment in South Korea. Another example of a credible source is Jang Ja Yang, the Director of Korean Family Legal Service Center, who talks about how mothers and parents who are capable of raising babies abandon them for dead because they have disabilities.

In the articles “Alone in the Crowd” and “As technology Gets Better, Will Society Get Worse?,” Michael Price and Tim Wu, respectively acknowledge the effects of technological advances. While both Price and Wu use effective rhetorical strategies in their articles, one presents their argument in a more persuasive manner.

Price references an interview with Sherry Turkle, to convey his opinion that the social media frenzy consumes our society. Price and Wu both present their point of view, but Wu has more factual information to justify his argument. The appeal to emotion is stronger in Price’s article; however, in this situation Wu’s logos appeal is more rhetorically effective. Beyond Ethos, Pathos, and

Rhetoric is defined as the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques. It is used to persuade an audience. According to Michael Austin in Reading the World: Ideas That Matter (661,664), Aristotle has three elements to persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos. Ethos is not just appealing to ethics, but it is establishing the speaker’s credibility and character. Pathos is an appeal to emotion to persuade an audience of something. Logos is an appeal to logic with things like facts and research. Any speaker that wants to persuade an audience to believe something should have an equal amount of all three elements. In the three videos, the speakers use

Artificial intelligence and robots is a common topic in science fiction, either emphasizing the negative possibilities of artificial intelligence or positive potentials. However, non-fiction explains to the audience that artificial intelligence will eventually positively impact the human race in many aspects. In order to convey the author’s meaning and understanding to the audience, non-fiction and science fiction pieces of writing utilize three main rhetorical appeals and strategies: ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos mainly appeals to the credibility of the presenter in order to convince the audience on a particular subject. Pathos is particularly powerful as it appeals to the audience’s emotions making it effective when the author demonstrates agreement with the spectators.

Writers use pathos, ethos, and logos in their writing to appeal to their audience. Pathos is an appeal to emotions, ethos is an appeal to trust, and logos is an appeal to reasoning or logic.

In Neil Postman’s novel, Amusing Ourselves to Death, he argues that rationality in America has become dictated by television. Through the use of ethos, pathos, and logos, Postman demonstrates that his claim is valid and reliable. These are three forms of persuasion that are used to influence others to agree with a particular point of view. Ethos, or ethical appeal, is used to build an author’s image. Ethos establishes a sense of credibility and good character for the author (Henning). Pathos, or emotional appeal, involves engaging “an audience's sense of identity, their self-interest, their emotions” (Henning). If done correctly, the power of emotions can allow the reader to be swayed to agree with the author. Logos, or logical appeal,

The results you expect from a person through a rhetorical situation must be used with the right tone and voice. Polarizing, passionate, and neutral are the tones that has an effect in an audience. When teachers give lectures in a monotone voice, most students lose interest as fast as a child watching television until someone mentions candy. It gets tiring listening to someone not who’s not enthusiastic about what they talk about. My friends and I get on each others nerves because there’s always a topic that we argue about and my voice gets higher when I speak my opinion. After I say my opinion, my friends say their perspective in a tone which makes them sound sympathetic, passionate, or

Others find the testimony of peers or a reputable authority to be more convincing. Part of getting to know your audience is figuring out what kinds of evidence they will find most credible and compelling

Telling a story that the audience can relate to in the first person makes the persuader relatable, to pull the audience in, play with your volume to make your emotion seem real, speaking plainly makes your emotion more believable.
