Chavez brings credibility to his persuasion by discussing past examples of successful nonviolent...

...persuade your audience of your ideas. Ethos is to help support your argument by using credibility. In essence we typically believe the people around us that we respect. This appeal helps identify you as a person that the audience should listen to because you know lot about the topic or you have authority (Durham). Ethos can be related to the word ethics or moral principles of the writer or speaker (Writing Commons). One example of this would be, if a Basketball player is giving a speech the audience will think his Ethos is strong because he has a lot of experience (Williams). Another example of this would be the time when my father was in the marine corp. My family had to attend a rank ceremony. During this a Sergeant gave a speech in which the whole crown fell silent as he began his speech. This is an example of Ethos because the crowd found the Sergeant a highly respectable and creditable person that they need to listen too....

...Every advertisement’s goal is to persuade the audience to buy the product being promoted in the commercial. Heinz’s recent Super Bowl commericial, titled Wiener Stampede, uses three different persuasion strategies to promote their product: analogy, humor, and appeal to positive emotion (specifically the warmth appeal). The use of analogy in this commercial creates a humorous situation, which in turn, creates positive emotion. These three persuasion features work together to make an advertisement more effective in persuading the audience, which in this case, are people who love to have barbecues with their friends and families. When creating advertisements, companies usually keep their target audience in mind and cater to them. In order for an advertisement to be effective, it has to appeal to the audience. In order to...

...A General Summary of Aristotle's Appeals . . . The goal of argumentative writing is to persuade your audience that your ideas are valid, or more valid than someone else's. The Greek philosopher Aristotle divided the means of persuasion, appeals, into three categories--Ethos, Pathos, Logos. Ethos (Credibility), or ethical appeal, means convincing by the character of the author. We tend to believe people whom we respect. One of the central problems of argumentation is to project an impression to the reader that you are someone worth listening to, in other words making yourself as author into an authority on the subject of the paper, as well as someone who is likable and worthy of respect. Pathos (Emotional) means persuading by appealing to the reader's emotions. We can look at texts ranging from classic essays to contemporary advertisements to see how pathos, emotional appeals, are used to persuade. Language choice affects the audience's emotional response, and emotional appeal can effectively be used to enhance an argument. Logos (Logical) means persuading by the use of reasoning. This will be the most important technique we will study, and Aristotle's favorite. We'll look at deductive and inductive reasoning, and discuss what makes an effective, persuasive reason to back up your claims. Giving reasons is the heart of argumentation, and cannot be emphasized enough. We'll study the types of support you can use to substantiate your thesis, and look at some of the common logical...
