How many times have you dropped those swimming classes? When was last time you put off in getting that enrollment for the gym? “Unlimited” ads campaign by Nike, appeals to its audience by showing people who even having certain difficulties, go after what they want and push their limits as much as they can, which is not a little. The ads feature a grown Sister competing in a triathlon, a transgender who runs with the National men’s team and a climber with no extremities. Nike didn’t choose these actors for its ads by accident, they are source of inspiration for all those athletes that always put the best of themselves in whichever the activity that passionate them is.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a government website that provides information about various diseases, disabilities, disorders, etc.. The CDC provides multiple webpages about Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) that list and provide information about causes, treatments, variations, and signs/symptoms of the disorder. On their informative pages, they use rhetorical devices to better portray their message. The CDC effectively uses the three rhetorical devices, pathos, ethos, and logos, to reach their goal of informing their target audience and providing a clear perspective on Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

The advertisement by WWF uses rhetorical strategies such as an establishment of ethos, and an appeal to logos and pathos. WWF establishes ethos by being a world wildlife program who “is at work in more than 40 countries...and collaborating with governments and coastal communities,” which demonstrates their credibility. They appeal to logos by offering statistics such as that “ten million people in sub-Saharan Africa make a living fishing,” and that the “number of fish in their waters has declined by 50 percent.” By offering these concrete numbers and statistics, WWF establishes a logical advertisement. Pathos is appealed by this advertisement by including phrases such as “Protecting the Future of Nature”, “protect marine populations,” and “ensure

In class, we have discussed rhetoric, discourse communities, and the importance of properly conveying a point. While my professor, Mr. Larry D. Huff, does not seem to believe in the “rhetorical triangle,” we have had successful discussions on the ways we can prove a point using ethos, pathos, and logos. I successfully joined a discourse community and learned its respective ethos, pathos and logos. My sophomore year of high school, I auditioned and was accepted to the theatre department of The High School for Performing and Visual Arts and joined a discourse community which changed my life. The bumper sticker stretches across the entire back window of my car. Regardless, I am proud to have it for what it represents. This essay will explain the importance behind my sticker.

Ethos is to convince someone of character or credibility of the persuader. It puts author

Of the three modes of persuasion, ethos, encompasses a person’s credibility. Their credibility is defined by how often then speak truths, if they have good sense, are a morally upstanding person, and their overall goodwill.

Jane Addams does a good job of not only using ethos, but she makes it so that she can tie it to here pathos. What that does is that it makes her a credible source and it emulates a certain emotion that gets the audience to not only agree with her, but they can sympathize with her as well.

Many writers use several diverse ways to persuade readers into believing them. Some writers may tell a story, provide facts and information, or other ideas to encourage his or her reader to agree with the argument. Aristotle’s rhetorical triangle describes three diverse appeals: logos, pathos, and ethos. Logos is based on facts and reasons explaining logical arguments that rely on information and evidence. Logos is built with enough evidence, data, statistics, and reliable information. Another type of appeal is pathos, which attracts the reader’s emotions and feelings into the work. Many writers who use pathos tend to write about their personal experience and by diction and tone. In addition to logos and pathos, ethos corresponds with

How to Speak How to Listen by Mortimer Adler discusses the best techniques to use while in an argument. According to Adler, ethos signifies one’s character. Ethos is present when one is trying to have a character that is fitting for the purpose at hand. Ethos includes making yourself attractive to the audience and proving to them that you are credible. An example of having ethos has a lot to do with how I would present myself to the audience. In order for them to believe that I am credible, I must look the part, that includes cleanliness, looking put together, and healthy. If the audience sees that you can take care of yourself, then they have a higher chance of believing that you can take care of them and their situation. Using ethos can also include presenting the audience with a personal story. This will fill them in with background information about myself and let them know how my character played out during whatever situation I spoke about. The situation would have to be similar to the one the audience is facing, in order for them to draw parallels and better understand how I would handle that particular event.

There were three critical words that I felt related to this specific scripture in the Buddhism section. The three words I chose to analyze in relation to the scripture are Arhat/Lohan, Dharma, and lastly Samadhi. Samadhi means, “A higher state of consciousness, achieved through meditation”(Oxtoby 260). In the beginning of the second paragraph of the scripture it reads, “After spending the day in self-controlled mental concentration, you should shake off sleepiness and spend the night engaged in the discipline of yoga. And do not think that your awareness is properly aware when drowsiness manifests itself in your heart”(Scriptures 99). When I read “Do not think that your awareness is properly aware” I instantly was able to relate the word Samadhi

Ethic is well elucidated in the sutta. Concerning desire, hatred, and delusion, the Buddha asks the Kālāmas, “When adopted and carried out, do they convert into loss and suffering, or not? How does it appear to you?” To which the Kālāmas answer, “When adopt, sir, and carried out, they convert into loss and suffering. That is how it appears to us.” Regarding, freedom from wanting, aversion, and ignorance, the Buddha inquires of the Kālāmas, “When adopted and carried out, do they converted into profit and bliss, or not? How does it appear to you?” The Kālāmas reply: “When adopted, sir, and carried out, they convert into profit and bliss. That is how it appears to us.” Thus, the Buddha concludes, “…yaṃ taṃ vuttaṃ idametaṃ paṭicca vuttaṃ —

What is it about some people that make others just stop whatever they are doing and listen to their words? Well, it is more than just magnetism, it is strategy. There are many tools and techniques to employ when writing or speaking to connect with one’s audience. Ethos, pathos, and logos are a simple but effective representation of these techniques. In her passionate TED talk, “The Power of Introverts”, Susan Cain employs many rhetorical strategies that allow her to connect with her audience and make her talk more powerful.
