Staying Put Ethos Pathos Logos

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.

For me, comfort is most critical when choosing fitness apparel. However, with many people, what to wear, and what not to wear to the gym is a critical question.

“Only a populance drunk on driving, a populance infatuated with the myth of the open road…” By repeating “populance” he refers to society as a whole, how it’s our problem, not just one person’s problem. The population of the world is creating an idea of moving away will solve a problem, yet it never does and the problems just keep continuing. Sanders also uses repetition another time in his essay, “The Spaniards devastated central and South America…Colonists bought slavery with them to North America, along with smallpox and Norway rats. The Dust Bowl of the 1930s was not caused by drought but by the transfer onto the Great Plains of farming methods…” Sanders constantly repeats incidents in history with this quote where migration to a new place has caused problems, and they were not trivial problems they were tremendous issues. This adds to theory that moving somewhere else is not beneficial, such things as slavery and smallpox were a result of moving from place to

Immigration is a complex and multifaceted issue that faces the US. In his film, Sin Nombre (2009), director Cary Fukunaga aims to juxtaposition the issue of immigration with the issue of gang violence in Mexico, and show the difficulties immigrants face by giving his audience an insider’s perspective into the experience of immigrating to the United States from Honduras. He does this through a variety of characters; most notably Willie and Sayra. Fukunaga did extensive research on life in the Mara Salvatrucha gang and the process of immigrating to America, in order to make his film realistic and authentic. The result is a movie that not only shows immigration in a way that evokes empathy and enforces the humanity of immigrants in the viewer’s mind, but also gives the viewer a look into the realities of being in a gang. Through the use of strong characters, powerful dialogue and vivid imagery, Fukunaga uses pathos to put a human face to the issue of immigration, logos to inform and give his audience context about the issues the film addresses, and ethos to establish his credibility and make the film believable.

The use of LEGOs is an extraordinary thing, but it is shocking to see exactly how controversial a small toy can become. People of all ages have been found to enjoy this toy. Companies and organizations such as MIT and NASA have even found a use for them. The toy has become known as a child’s imagination tool and has not been exclusively used for adults. The documentary shows that adults come together to compete in competitions on who can create the greatest LEGO sculpture. Many people may not know just how big this toy is used around the world.

Some might have specific opposite opinions to the argument. Examples of objections could be in three different kinds of forms: ethos, pathos, and logos. Starting with ethos, some might use an example of their own country. For example, in North America, killing a family member for an honor related reason is not accepted by the judicial system, therefore, an honor killing in anywhere is wrong in human conditions. This statement confirms the credibility of the judicial system of North America, but is a fallacy of division. Since some countries with certain cultures actually allow an honor killing if the person is considered to brought dishonor on the family. For those societies, bringing disgrace on the family is more immoral than taking another’s

Sanders uses the parallelism between lists of heros that were always moving and those of how early settlers brought devestation when they came to show how even the migration that seemed, really wasn’t. Americans may have always looked up to cowboys and vegabonds, but did we really understand the full effect of them? They brought

Ethos, pathos, and logos are all devices that Barbara Ehrenreich effectively uses throughout her novel Nickel and Dimed to prove that America needs to address the commonly overlooked issue of poverty within every community. It is important that she uses all three devices because they help support her argument by increasing her credibility, connecting to the readers’ emotions, and appealing to their sense of logic. The combination of these devices puts a sense of urgency on the problem Ehrenreich is addressing and therefore creates an effective argument.

Steinbeck utilizes the novel as a form of social protest by enunciating the brutal and inhumane way the wealthier class treat the migrant workers. For instance, in order to not loose any profit from the fields, the affluent bankers decide to forcefully drive the families off the fields using tractors to “bite into the house corner, crumble the wall, wrench the little houses from its foundation”(39). However, the working class does not have the opportunity to refuse this decision because of the desperate

Scott Sanders has a very specific view when it comes to moving. When responding to Salman Rushdie’s essay, Sanders uses specific devices and strategies to develop his perspective. Sanders quotes parts of Rushdie’s essay to express his views on moving.

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.

Sanders addresses Rushdie’s writings with many devices to explain his vision and interpretation. Sanders lists many of our “heroes” as a way to address that we consciously like travelers, and equally we do not like staying put. Hyperbole is used in line 17 to show how often people in this country like to keep moving, saying that if you were to stop moving, like a shark, you would die. He then uses parallelism to usurp a quote from Rushdie. He brings up the bad sides of nationalism as well as using satire to

Socrates uses ethos,pathos,and logos by having good humanity,making readers have a feeling about his actions and stating all facts by telling the truth at all times. Ethos is having good humanity. Socrates uses ethos for example (1:3), its states, he makes the worst case look better;and he teaches this sort of stuff to others because He has a lot of credibility and courage to make all thing that are bad look good. So he has a positive mind. Socrates also use ethos (16:162) by stating”I was convicted not by a lack of arguments, but by my lack of ruthlessness and shamelessness and willingness to tell you what you most wanted to hear.

In the article “Distorted Images: Western Cultures are Exporting Their Dangerous Obsession with Thinness,” author Susan McClelland’s mainly focuses on how many young women idolize the women they see on T.V. The media is making many women feel as if they need to look a certain way to fit in with the world. Also the fact the western culture is spreading to other countries is a big issue because sicknesses, like bulimia, were not an issue before. Many women in other countries are starting to look at the women in the United States and want to be just like them. In this article, the author says that television, magazines, and media show

An antithesis is used to counter Rushdie’s opinion, Sanders writes, “the belief that movement is inherently good, staying put is bad; that uprooting brings tolerance, while rootedness breeds intolerance; that imaginary homelands are preferable to geographical ones; that to be modern, enlightened, fully of our time is to be displaced.” When Sanders puts him and Rushdie’s contrasting ideas together, his subjectivity is obvious to readers. This clear subjectivity is very effective in moving readers to believe that “staying put” should be
