Nike's Ethos Pathos Logos

GEICO, the Government Employees Insurance Company, and Esurance Insurance Services, Inc are two auto insurance based in the United States. In their advertisement, GEICO features a piglet, Maxwell, attempting to obtain a driver’s license from a snarky old clerk using the insurance information on his phone. On the other hand, Esurance depicts an elderly woman, Beatrice, in the process of showing her friends her “wall”when, in good faith, her friends corrects her, causing Beatrice to “unfriend” her. GEICO and Esurance, in attempts of persuasion, use pathos, ethos, and logos to sell their product

The Author of the passage is debating, whether student athletes should be awarded monetary compensation for their contribution to teams that garner millions of dollars for universities. The author uses appeal to Logos and Pathos to build his argument on the subject, and to help persuade the reader to agree with the the argument they are trying to make.

I am a 15 year old girl, soon turning 16 and will, hopefully, be getting my driver’s license. There is only one problem I don’t have a car and my parents don’t want me driving their cars alone, so, therefore, I can’t ever really drive around like I need to. If I got a car, it would change everything. It would give everyone else more time, not having to worry about who is going to pick me up and all of the confusion.

The highly successful company, Nike, that make the use of pathos, emotional appeal, logical appeal, and ethical appeal, throughout their ad in order to convey their targeted audience to buy their product. The “Just Do It” campaign has introduced a new competition of “Men vs Women” where runners participate by wearing Nike tennis shoes to see whether the men or women will win the race. The Nike logo is at the top right-hand corner, and the runner, meaning the “fit” man is being present in the center of the ad help indicate that the ad is about “fit” men wearing Nike shoes. Since American society is very competitive when it comes to which gender is better. The ad “One More Thing for Men to Rule” is the campaign that indicates only if “fit” men

Alone, the use of only ethos, pathos, or logos would make for a semi-interesting story, but together, they tell a believable account of real events. Beatty makes use of all three techniques to connect with her audience and share her own story as well as hard facts that verify the events. The powerful combination of ethos, pathos, and logos conveys Beatty’s story convincingly.

Music in Your Ears. In the articles, “Music is Worthless,” written by Steve Lawson and “Nashville Skyline: Searching for the Heart of Country” written by Chet Flippo, both authors use the rhetorical tools: ethos, pathos, and logos. In “Music is Worthless,” Lawson comes across many aspects on what music is really worth and how it is valued, while in “Nashville Skyline: Searching for the Heart of Country,” Flippo tries to find where country music was lost and where it still can be found. Although, music can be perceived in many ways, Lawson and Flippo use the rhetorical tools ethos, pathos, and logos to help the reader understand their reasoning on certain music.

The ability to challenge and question texts continuously is a skill that is essential to have as a student. From an academic perspective, analyzing written works is often done by recognizing the ethos, pathos, and logos that is commonly embedded by the author in an argumentative piece. This method of writing is frequently used to persuade the audience to believe in a specific side of an argument. Authors use ethos to gain trust from an audience by establishing credibility. Pathos is used in text to sway the audience by using tugging at the emotions of the audience and lastly, logos is integrated into writing with the purpose of using facts, research, and statistics in the argument. The text that will be analyzed in this essay is written by

While the music is very important to setting the tone of the video, the actors and the dogs played a very important role also. You saw both the boy and dog grow up and mature. The director used pathos to bring out the emotions of the viewers. This idea of using pathos helps the commercial get its point across because IAMS dog food is suppose to help your dog live a long, happy and healthy life. Throughout the commercial, you see the boy and his dogs journey from childhood and puppyhood to adulthood. Even though the dog food makes the dog happy and live a better life, that influences how he treats the boy as well. As a young boy, whenever they would play together or if the boy was sad, the dog would lick the boys face and always cheer him up.

The rhetorical device that I thought was most effective was his use of Pathos. I believe his purpose for using this type of rhetoric is to reach the heart of those he was writing to in hopes of moving them so much so that they feel a, “call to action,” so to speak. While some may argue that Martin Luther King, Jr.’s(MLK) use of logos was most effective, I disagree because while it is possible to persuade someone with logic, wouldn’t you feel compelled to act immediately if something moves your heart rather than waiting for your brain to convince your heart and then act. For example, in paragraph 7, it states, “We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God given rights.” as well as, “when you suddenly find your tongue

Normally an author uses pathos to gain sympathy from readers by using emotions. The first example of pathos is when she made the statement “ If you are black and male and you do not play sports — well, good luck gaining admission to schools like UNC (Jackson).” In my opinion, this is a strong statement that is hard to read and makes me feel discouraged. The reason she said this was to show her point that they are extremely picky about who plays on these high revenue teams. These schools are only looking for the students who will bring in money for the school and that is why the author is trying to show that they get treated with priority. Another example of pathos is when she said “ Unlike college athletes who bring in revenue, non-revenue

Rhetoric is a form of writing that has a persuasive effect on the reader. The term pathos is a quality that evokes emotions and pity. Pathos is used in rhetoric writings because it allows the speaker to make a personal and emotional connection with the reader. Once an emotional connection is made, the speaker has a higher potential in gaining the support of the audience. The term logos means it is an appeal to logic. Logos is used in rhetoric because it enables the speaker to persuade its audience by connecting to their logic, or intellects. The term ethos is a form of persuasion that appeals to ethics and the credibility of the speaker. Ethos is used in rhetoric because it is a way of gaining the audience's trust in the speaker. Essentially,

This article shows great details of how bad writing can be fixed. The article begins by showing logos of what high school and college students are struggling with the most. The reason is that it states key examples of what the students at New Dorp high school aren’t good at. The article shows a lot of opinion from teachers by telling their ways of fixing the students. It is also repetitive by saying that the main reason the kids are not good writers is because they are lazy. In certain ways, this article is using pathos by the teachers. I do think the writer could have used more proven facts.

As I began to read this article I noticed that logos was definitely used as one of the rhetorical appeals. The author attempts to persuade his audience by making a claim and providing some type of proof after each claim. For example, “Papa John’s says it has been pulling advertising associated with the NFL. The league, it says, has given some feature spots in return.” This quote was provided after the author mentions how, “Papa John’s is no longer going to advertise with the NFL.” The first example of how he makes a logical appeal. At the end of the article he also mentioned race, stating that “Most whites are not racist,” and how “To accuse so many of it is to see those fans simply walk away from the game.” That is a pathos appeal or in other

When an author writes a persuasive article of any kind they use at least one of 3 appeals to get their point across. The appeals of Pathos, Ethos, and Logos are used by all persuasive essay writers to prove the point they are trying to relay across and are applied to every argument. Ethos is an appeal to ethics, and it is a means of convincing someone of the character or credibility of the persuader, pathos is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response, logos is an appeal to logic, and is a way of persuading an audience by reason. When faced with the question why Native Americans’ dying Language need to be saved the article “Saving America's Endangered Languages” brings up a number of valid points to help strengthen its argument. Every point that is bought up by the author Ellen L. Lutz uses one or more of these points to help prove that point that native american languages need to be saved.

The next sample of pathos in the story is when the author uses heart-wrenching vocabulary. During the marketplace scene, when the men are being taken to work at labor camps, the elderly people are forced to stay back. This is an excellent example of when the narrator uses this type of vocabulary . The narrator uses words like “disobey” and ”labor camps”. It also gives the reader chilling quotes such as, “This crowd was silent. In a way, it resembled a rally- but it was different from that too. I don't know what it was exactly. One only knows that we suddenly stopped and my sister began to tremble, and then I caught the trembling, and she said: "Let’s run away.”...” These phrases and vocab terms display the appeal of pathos very well, it makes
