The Theory Of Ethos Is Used Across Mrs. Trump

The rhetorical device, ethos, is used throughout “Bullhorn,” which is the persuasion of the audience through ethnic such as: their reputation, experience, and values the author exerts through the claim. President Bush contributes all appeals throughout his speech. As Melissa H. Weresh’s, a director of legal writing and professor of law at Duke University, asserts “…it is important to consider not only

Bush uses the first few paragraphs of his speech to introduce several of the people he is working with. The appeals he makes in these lines are excellent examples of ethos, the rhetorical appeal to character. Bush continuously comments on the character of the people around him. He speaks of them as if he knows them very well, almost like old friends. Through this appeal the audience became able to relate to these people and learn a little bit about their character. Some of the people mentioned have large families and are of an honest and selfless nature. Because the speaker’s purpose is to gain support from the constituents for the candidates represented, the appeal to the character of the candidates is a crucial tool that becomes extremely vital to the swaying of the audience to the purposes of the speaker.

The three types of persuasion are all relevant in Obama’s Victory speech. To start off with ethos, Obama (2008) states that to those he has not yet won their vote, he needs to hear their voices as well because he will become their president too. This statement uses the authoritative position as a “president,” the most faithful person in government to allow the audience to believe what he is saying. Ann Nixon the women mentioned later on in the speech is yet another way he used ethos. At the time of the speech, she was 106

The recent election of 2016 shows that artifice is essential in winning voters. Donald Trump, throughout his campaign, displayed an image of himself that people would perceive as “tough” and “strong”. The image of Trump as a reality TV star made him more likable by Americans. Trump spoke openly to people's economic stress, cultural fears and the disillusion with politicians. He promised to “bring

In this video Michelle Obama makes use of all three appeals, in an attempt to persuade the audience, to agree that Barak Obama was the best candidate for the Presidency. Ethos is identified first as she is introduced, as her brother presents her as a highly esteemed entity by her immediate family; thus, Americas next first lady. She also portrays herself as a person with high morals and values, she elaborates on how she and her husband were raised alike, believing that you will reach your goals if you work hard, respecting others no matter the differences; thus, delivering what you promise or say. Later in the video, she identifies herself as a lawyer that had worked at a major law firm. This elaborate presentation of herself is most

In this address Clinton uses a combination of all three to try to convince people of her being the right candidate for the job. Clinton’s rhetoric depends largely on the fact of her being relatable in comparison to the millionaire Trump who makes up the much envied American and criticized elite.

European Rhetoric defines Ethos as “The mode of persuasion [that] deals with the character of the speaker. The intent of the speaker is to appear credible. According to Aristotle there are three prerequisites that are necessary to appear credible: Competence, Good Intention, Empathy” (Ethos). Before Barbara Bush could even take the podium her competence was already brought into question. Her competence became a national issue making headlines in the likes of The New York Times and Newsweek (Clift) such as this New York Times Article from May 4th 1990 which states “The conflict has centered on a protest by 150 Wellesley students who said they were ‘outraged’ by the selection of Mrs. Bush as the graduation speaker. They said she did not represent the type of career woman the college seeks to educate.” due to the fact that “Mrs. Bush dropped out of

In this essay, I will closely examine the role of ethos, pathos, and logos as they were utilized in the 1992 Presidential Debate video clip. Throughout Clinton and Bush’s debates, they used the three options of persuasion effectively and discretely; however, it is evident that out of the three ways of persuasion, the candidates used ‘pathos’ because of the content they were providing. It was apparent that Bill Clinton was more prepared to display forms of persuasion than George H.W. Bush was because Clinton had prior experience dealing with lower income people. In the upcoming paragraphs, I will explain and analyze how each candidate made use of the three forms of persuasion: logos, pathos, and ethos.

First Lady Michelle Obama has always been one known for her inspiring speeches and her commitment to women’s rights. In Manchester, New Hampshire, she is seen once again standing up for women and for this country by opening the public’s eyes to disrespect Donald Trump has shown for us. Throughout the entire speech the three rhetorical appeals of pathos, ethos, and logos, are all used effectively and powerfully to get her message across. She mainly targets the audience of empowered women but she also addresses the effect that voting for Donald Trump will have for men and women. Through the rhetorical appeals and the tone, she sets for her audience, Michelle Obama campaigns for the presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

At the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Michelle Obama the first lady at the time, was endorsing the democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton. Using her personal connection with the president and Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama creates a more personal speech. With her credibility as first lady, use of her family and her platform she lead as first lady, she persuades the audience to spread Hillary Clinton’s campaign message. Michelle Obama uses the rhetorical devices including, anaphora, several allusions, and imagery to strengthen her 3 appeals and persuade her audience.

Admittedly, Hilary Clinton has spoken around the world about the challenges that women have faced. However, it is the continued struggle of American women that inspires and fuels her passion and fight for equality in this male-dominated culture. Also, while married to bill Clinton who was actively involved in women’s right, Hilary advocated for a standard of equality that embrace all colors and cultures. . Clinton establishes ethos when she states, “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two and a half years, I've had the opportunity to learn

In fact, everyone wants to be loved, admired, valued, and recognized and accepted by other; especially, now, women want to prove their abilities, powers, and stand up to society. In her speech, she highly mentioned about the benefits for women and how she will work with them to make that come true. Thus, she will get more interested from women; especially, young women. She also mentioned about other community services that she worked with to help other people such as disability students. Additionally, she argued back to Trump that how he divided people and this country by fearing of others and building the wall to stop immigrants. She wants to help and build a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants. By that way, she uses all of these desires from their needs to get to more people to accept her judgement to him and follow her as the only good

Michelle Obama’s 2016 Democratic National Convention Speech was beautifully presented; as she spoke about the issues that faces Mrs. Clinton as well as herself, education, health and welfare of this nation as a whole and why Hillary Clinton should be the next president of the United States of America. As I listen to this speech I realized that Michelle Obama uses rhetorical devices and appeals throughout this entire speech, and frankly since her purpose is to persuade the people of the this country to vote for Hillary I think Michelle Obama took the right approach. I get a strong sense of honesty from the first lady as she talks about why Ms. Clinton is worthy enough to take on the mantle of leadership for our great nation. After listening to my speech multiple times I notice how Michelle Obama also uses amplification, which is the expansion of detail to clarify a point. Then as I continued to listen to the speech I also realized how the first lady also uses anaphora, which is the repetition of one or more words at the head of consecutive phrases, clauses, or sentences. Next I saw how the first lady utilizes both ethos and pathos to help convince the citizens of America that Hillary Clinton deserves their vote. Through the use of these rhetorical devices and appeals, Mrs. Obama’s speech is made very strong and convincing.

The dynamics of leadership’s styles has changed throughout the century because the dynamics of leaders have changed. Many researchers have conceptualized the term leadership to make it simpler to understand, however it can be quite complicated because there are some many levels and components that make up a great leader in theory. There are no equations to explain how to become the perfect leader or how to obtain the perfect leadership style. There are strategies one can use to develop as a leader and certain behaviors that can allow an individual to identify with a particular style of leadership. In fact when dealing with followers of any sort, this allows the public to get a glimpse and know when the individual in authority changes. It would give the public a better understanding of what to expect and what to desire in future leaders. With this in mind, the purpose of this analysis is to evaluate and summarize the leadership styles and management of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Since they both hold influence and they both developed a campaign to become the greatest leader of the United States of America this analysis will explore the different styles they possess to get a better idea of their leadership behaviors.

November 8, 2016 will remain in remembrance by United States citizens for hundreds of years. On this day, Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. He won over Hillary Clinton, a fact that has angered several people, including Anna March. Anna March, author of the article “Dreams of My Mother”, tells her story of the election and the events leading up to it. She uses critical approaches to persuade her audience. In the article, “Dreams of My Mother”, Anna March addresses a controversial issue and uses words to indicate setting and her tone to bring out emotion in her audience.
