New Growing Trend: Identity Theft

But there are times the author used pathos to make the audience realize what they have become, and what they are missing out on. One example of this was when Carr used a quote from an interview: “When culture drives changes in the way that we engage our brains, it creates DIFFERENT brains. THEIR HEAVY USE HAS NEUROLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES.” When Carr uses all caps, it implies to the audience that this is something they should pay attention to because it is important. It also installs fear in the reader, because something that we do every day such as going on our phones could have actual neurological consequences. Another use of pathos was when Carr stated the aim of Google. “To get users in and out quickly…” Carr goes on to explain that “As people spend more time and do more things online, they see more ads, and they disclose this information about themselves…and Google rakes in more money”. These understated comments grant the audience to consider and be more mindful of what they are doing. The author incorporates in some awkward moments when he talks about artificial intelligence. The creator of Google is quoted saying “the ultimate search engine is something as smart as people or more intelligent. Certainly if you had… an artificial brain that was smarter than your brain, you’d be better off.” Carr makes a comment about how unsettling it is to think about our minds being supplemented with artificial intelligence. This appeals to pathos because the audience has a firm impulse to agree with Carr because it is uncomfortable to think about a computer replacing our

Figuring out if an identity is stolen is not easy only because it can be unknown until damage is dealt. This is why identity theft isn’t easy to stop. When most people report a crime, police arrive on the scene before serious damage is dealt, but when a thief steals a person’s identity, the victim can be unaware for quite some time before they realize the amount of money they lost. According to Tracey Whittaker and Anne Dilascio, in 2003, the average money lost from identity theft per person was $4,789, but in 2006 the average was less than $2000. The average out-of-pocket cost of identity theft victims in 2005 was

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

Pathos is the easiest rhetoric to use when persuading a reader because it is turning the reader`s emotion against the reader.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me,” (115). Night causes a

These may make your paper more effective, because if it has anything to do with their emotions it will make them more interested in what you have to say. An example of pathos would be "If we don’t move soon, we’re all going to die! Can’t you see how dangerous it would be to stay?" This shows that if someone told you this it would affect how you felt about staying.

Chapter two of “Everything’s an Argument” discusses the use of pathos in academic papers. Pathos is one of the most effective and common writing devices used in argumentative papers. As proposed by the reading, many of the decisions that people make are influenced by their emotions and their feelings towards a specific topic. From experience, I’ve learned that when the author is emotionally invested in the paper they are writing; you can actually hear the passion in the words and it adds another level to the sentiment to the essay. Using pathos in your paper can connect the reader to the writer. Employing emotion into your paper can lead to the reader sympathizing with the author and allows them to connect with them on a deeper level. Inserting

Identity theft affects millions of Americans every day. Scam artists and hackers lay in wait for an unsuspecting person to get caught up their scheme through ignorance or naivety so they can take full advantage of their personal information to do as they desire with it. Problem is, it infiltrates and depreciates the integral infrastructure of our society which creates a cultural lapse through the declination of economic and cultural growth and double jeopardizes an already unstable system to the brink of its destruction.
