Solove Ethos Pathos Logos

Joey Franklin makes masterful use of rhetoric in his essay “Working at Wendy’s” to construct an entertaining and compelling argument in favor of recognizing that the workers of the service industry are not just undistinguished drones, but rather complicated people, each with their own desires and stories. To this end, the author utilizes the effective rhetorical device of pathos, logos, and ethos. Franklin demonstrates an excellent use of imagery that serves as a conduit for empathy, which is vital for the use of pathos, the emotional appeal. In reference to logos, the appeal to logic, he paints the picture of a hard-working father that needs to provide for his family. This is a clear representation of common logic and ties into ethos, which is the rhetorical appeal to authority and ethics, in the sense that many people can relate to caring about and working to support family. For ethos, he establishes himself as your everyday working man — part of the working class. This shows that he’s clearly apt for speaking of the position he’s in, and allows the audience to relate to him through pathos.

Before reading this article/essay my understanding of privacy was very much surveillance based--I didn't want to be surveyed even if I wasn't doing anything wrong. However when Solove explains that it's not only about the surveillance but the actual information and how it's used privacy and how often my privacy is breached started to make more sense. He goes on to give specific ways the information is and can be used which helped bridge the gap between what I thought information processing was and what it really is in terms of privacy. The examples made the concept come to life as well as allow readers to apply it to their information and life, bringing it closer to home and therefore making it more

Today, individuals are sacrificing privacy in order to feel safe. These sacrifices have made a significant impact on the current meaning of privacy, but may have greater consequences in the future. According to Debbie Kasper in her journal, “The Evolution (Or Devolution) of Privacy,” privacy is a struggling dilemma in America. Kasper asks, “If it is gone, when did it disappear, and why?”(Kasper 69). Our past generation has experienced the baby boom, and the world today is witnessing a technological boom. Technology is growing at an exponential rate, thus making information easier to access and share than ever before. The rapid diminishing of privacy is leaving Americans desperate for change.

As a growing topic of discussion, privacy in our society has stirred quite some concern. With the increase of technology and social networking our standards for privacy have been altered and the boundary between privacy and government has been blurred. In the article, Visible Man: Ethics in a World Without Secrets, Peter Singer addresses the different aspects of privacy that are being affected through the use of technology. The role of privacy in a democratic society is a tricky endeavor, however, each individual has a right to privacy. In our society, surveillance undermines privacy and without privacy there can be no democracy.

Instead of simply depicting his characters as victims or hapless fellows of the world, he transformed his case studies into literary narratives that were fully dramatic , detailed and aware of their readers’ thoughts. These stories did not marginalize such characters, but to the contrary placed them in an active world of flux and thriving change.

On january 1st 2005, Frank Warren started up what became a very successful blog known as PostSecret, it is a website where anonymous postcards are mailed in and later posted up online to share with others. Its wide use and popularity has brought to attention the concern of people's willingness to share secrets as long as they stay anonymous. In today's world where we are constantly being monitored, it should be no surprise that we have grown the need and desire for more privacy. In Peter Singer's, “Visible Man: Ethics in a World without Secrets”, he also speaks about the concern of increased monitoring but claims that it will create “a world where morals are reformed”. Privacy and Anonymity have two different meanings but they go hand in hand

“A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions“ -Confucius. This quote is relevant because in Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, Brutus and Antony gave speeches after Caesar’s death. A speaker has to make connections with the audience, use creativity, and have passion. Antony was rhetoric, cunning, and used pathos to connect with the people of Rome. Brutus was also rhetoric, honorable, and used logos and ethos to influence the audience. Overall, Brutus did not influence the crowd like he hoped to. Antony knew how he was going to persuade the people before he gave his speech.

Proponents of this surveillance might ask, “If a person hasn’t done anything wrong, then why would they fear it?” However, one has to realize that, “this familiar claim ignores the fact that privacy is valuable not just to criminals, but to all of us” (Cole 2). When someone wishes to keep intimate information to him or herself, it is important for a civil society to respect those desires, regardless of any promise of nondisclosure. Doing this creates trust, further strengthening

Solove tailors his message to this stakeholder by providing a better definition for the term “privacy”, which, in turn, creates a framework for how privacy and privacy violations should be evaluated in courts. Solove is advocates for these lawyers to amend how they understand privacy, and better suit the general concerns of the public. For instance, Solove expresses his opinion about a law on surveillance that is enforced differently based on whether the setting of the situation was in a public or private ambience. Known as the secrecy paradigm, if the information was public and not secret before, then there is no privacy violation as a result of the gathering and exchange of information. He asserts that this law should be re-assessed because surveillance can have adverse affects, regardless of the environment. Surveillance can restrict and alter people’s actions, and unconsciously allowing the government to affect their acts and creating architectural imbalance in society. Therefore, lawmakers could be major stakeholders in this piece because Solove discusses laws that should be reviewed, in order to better accommodate for privacy violations and the negative consequences that are associated with these

He conveys these through simple responses, for example, when he shies away from women and the way he carries himself. These little reactions give us a deeper look into the feelings of the character. This looseness is part of Dogma films and the “new attitude toward filming… they shoot not only many takes of the same scene but also improvised and alternative takes” (Schepelern 87). Therefore, the actor cannot base his or her character on the events that will occur. The actor must establish a character and try to evoke emotions. This results in characters that are not typical and predictable.

Moor (1997) points out that in the U.S. the concept of privacy has evolved from one concerned with intrusion and interference to one

pp.745. Daniel J. Solove is the Associate Professor, George Washington University Law School; J.D., Yale Law School. Solove has an in-depth understanding of surveillance and privacy. In the article, he focuses on analyzing “What exactly is “privacy?” “How valuable is privacy and how do we assess its value?” and “How do we weigh privacy against countervailing values?” He points out that the main problem with surveillance is not that someone’s privacy is invaded; instead, government surveillance creates a power imbalance, putting people in danger in a way that they have all the power to collect everything they want; you have no idea how your private information will be processed. This article will be used as evidence to support the part of “power

Summary Gerstein argues that privacy is necessary for intimacy and that intimate relationships could not exist without privacy (Gerstein, 76). Privacy is the control we have over information about ourselves. The concept of privacy has broad roots in sociological and historical discussions about how deeply it is valued and preserved in various cultures. However, historical use of the term is not consistent, and there remains confusion over the meaning and value of the concept of privacy. Privacy functions through control, and we handle the control of our personal and intimate information through privacy.

Privacy is a concept idea that could be understood on a certain level. However, according to “The Evolution (Or Devolution) of Privacy by Debbie V.S Kasper, the definition of the word itself changes dramatically base on variety of social institution and the situation that that the term is referring to. There are countless ways to interpret the meaning of privacy, but unfortunately, due to the broad nature of the conceptual structure of the idea, none of the statement has proven to be adequate to use as an official definition. Because of this reason, I strongly believe that privacy in today’s society does not exist anymore. Many studies have suggested that technological advancement is the main factor that leads to the dissolution of privacy,

The logos of the box would be derived from . . . The pathos of this box could be interpreted from . . . The ethos of this box can be recognized from . . .” (Ngo Autobio 4). Also, I addressed one the course goal in revising my writing and using feedback to help facilitate this. In this paper alone, I feel that I have made some progress in the course (mainly using logos, ethos, and pathos as a rhetorical strategy in this paper).
