Persuasive Speech Ethos

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

2.) I think that ethos is the most important rhetorical proof to have for a persuasive speech. If you don’t have ethos or “credibility of the speaker”(Ethos, Pathos, Logos: 3 Pillars of Public Speaking) then how will your audience be persuaded if they can’t believe you or know that you are credible. While all of the rhetorical proofs would be good to have in any persuasive speech ethos would be a game changer if you didn’t have it.

Persuasive speech outline purpose: To persuade my audience to donate blood through the American Red Cross. Introduction:

“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards and “The American Crisis” by Thomas Paine are two persuasive works that tried to sway the opinions and actions of their readers. Both authors used powerful writing to illustrate what would happens to those who did not change. While Edward’s piece focused on religion and Paine’s on war, both discussed the reasons why people should conform to the views expressed by the two authors. Though vastly different in their nature and audience, the two texts were featured around the same idea: people need to change. In the works, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” and “The American Crisis,” Edwards and Paine use the persuasive appeals ethos, pathos, and logos, and literary devices such as simile, metaphor, imagery, and personification to persuade their American audience.

The docile sea turtle population is comprised of several species. They are a species that is in continuous peril from the sandy beaches to the open waters. The dangers imposed on the sea turtle range from nature’s predators to the human impacts on the ecosystem. The sea turtle has been around for millions of years and have managed to survive nature’s predators. However, the sea turtles are struggling to survive the human impact over the last several centuries. Studies have shown the unique lifecycle of the sea turtle and their contributions to the oceans ecosystem. The variety of species throughout the globe contribute in one way or another. However, because of their docile nature, unique swimming abilities, and reproduction cycle,

It was October 6, 1998 when he was lured from the bar that cold, fateful night. His skull was smashed with a pistol butt as he was lashed to a fence, left for dead in near freezing temperatures. Nearly eighteen hours later he was found by passersby and taken to a hospital where we remained in a coma for several days until slowly slipping away. At his funeral, picketers carried signs saying, "God Hates Fags" and *Fags Deserve to Die."

Have you served in a war? Has your father or mother served in a war? How about your grandpa? As we honor those who have served we typically do so by standing for the pledge of allegiance or star spangled banner. We say thank you to our war heroes or we go and visit them and listen to their stories. In this paper I will be discussing why NFL players should not be allowed to kneel for the flag. Although the NFL players have the right to peacefully protest, they should find a different way than kneeling as it shows disrespect towards the flag also active duty military and veterans, it teaches young children this behavior is okay, what they are protesting has nothing to do with the flag and there are many different ways to get their message out.

“The United Nations (UN) is an international organization whose stated aims are to facilitate cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights, and achieving world peace. The UN was founded in 1945 after World War II to replace the League of Nations, to stop wars between countries and to provide a platform for dialogue” .

Mental illness has been a serious disease for many decades yet and still one million people who commit suicide every year. Morally as a person I feel like we should all get involved to help save a life. Let’s face it everyone know someone with a mental illness, so we are speaking on a familiar topic. We cannot always tell when someone may be troubled or suicidal, however just a simple phone call or text can lift a person’s spirits or prevent them from making permanent decision.

I just want to thank you for what you have accomplished for the California School District these past years. I do have one concern though, and I am sure you have looked into it before, but I would like you to reconsider the situation. In past years, many students have wondered why we do not have a soccer team. Having a soccer team would open up so many different paths in the high school for students, staff, and even the community.

The world has advanced over the centuries. To ensure progression and growth, society must embrace organizations which support improving the quality of human life. The United Nations is one such organization that has ensured the well-being of the human race by collaborating internationally on how to tactically approach conflicts. From combating terrorism to eradicating smallpox, the United Nations has resolved numerous foreign issues and international crises. The creation of the United Nations continues to be critical because the organization is a fundamental necessity for global peace, good relations, and development.

C. As long as schooling increases the marginal return to work more than crime and schooling does not decrease patience levels or increase risk aversion.

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the

“ Here is a task truly of, by and for the world, one that should rally nations. The nature of this task however, must be clearly understood; only then can suitable means for accomplishing it be formulated, only then can the role that the United Nations could and should play be appreciated” ( Wilcox/Haviland, 29). There are many international organizations that have been talked about throughout this semester. One of the most important ones is The United Nations. The United Nations was established October 24, 1945, and has since then been impacting the country. The United Nations main purpose according to the lecture notes is “ to provide a global additional structure through which states can sometimes settle conflicts with less reliance on the use of force , for whole purpose of the United Nations is to provide the globe a forum by which countries may settle disputes through this forum peacefully as opposed to relying on a force which has been the case historically” ( Kopalyan, Module 8). Thus meaning The United Nations was set up to handle problems peacefully rather than going to war to try and solve problems. “Powerful economic as well as political forces are at work to bring about a growing integration of the world community, and the United Nations and its related agencies are uniquely fitted to assist in the task” (Wilcox/Haviland,45). This was some of the reason that the United Nations was created.

My persuasive message focuses on convincing people that we need to change our mindset and become more mindful before changing the word “black” in Black Lives Matter(BLM). Of course, like anything else I would have to find a particular group of people to be my target audience. It was quite difficult figuring that out at first, but I got it. In order for my message to be successful, I choose for my primary audience to be white people and my secondary audience to be people who are against BLM movement. We often choose to be closed minded about situations that we don’t gain anything from, so I do understand why when one is not knowledgeable on a topic the lack of interest in the topic one may come off ignorant. Knowing more about why BLM started will not only prevent one from being ignorant, but also educate us on other racial issues that black people face in America. Overall, I want to urge those individuals who are not open-minded to the movement and its cause to learn more about it and to expand their mind.
