Jason Silva is a television personality, filmmaker, and performance philosopher. His Facebook page appears to be one of promotion and information. His profile picture is of himself in front of a surreal landscape in which there is a wall with a man looking over it and into the universe. This helps set the tone and brand of his personality: philosophical, futuristic, surreal, and so on and so forth. This is further displayed in his cover photo which consists of several more surrealistic pictures. For example, a body diving into a table with paint splashing out. The message being conveyed throughout his profile is to think, question, and inspire because we are at the forefront. This is further solidified throughout his profile with ethos, logos, and pathos. The most prominent example of ethos is seen within the brand and craft of his personality. Firstly, he presents himself as charismatic …show more content…
Moreover, his professional works and posts mesh his own thoughts with countless references to renown and credible people such as Timothy Leary and Albert Einstein. Each of these lead to him being respectable, likable, and worthy of being listened to. Furthermore, the referencing of these people and what they said builds a good base of logos. For example, in his video “To Be Human Is To Be Transhuman,” Silva references Edward O. Wilson, a biologist, in which he said “. we have actually decommissioned natural selection, and now we must look deep within ourselves and decide what we wish to become...” This reference is to eventually reason that to be human is to be transhuman. Although what Silva states himself is self-evident and reasonable, these references further help establish this due to their credibility. The pathos can be seen throughout his posts and videos. Although a lot of emotions get thrown into the brew and
Pathos – I think it is quite easy to see how Carson uses pathos in her book. Half of the excerpt we received seems to be dedicated to this topic. The first chapter is charged with emotions and communal values as Carson builds a kind of utopian nature scene and then destroys it right before the reader’s eyes. I think this dramatization communicates the powerful message intended, but it does make me wonder how different the feeling of this chapter would be if she used a real world example. Perhaps the pathos would have been stronger because it would let the reader connect to real people and a concrete place. Perhaps the pathos would be weaker because it would not allow Carson to describe all the disastrous effects that she wanted to in such a vivid way. Perhaps the strength of this chapter depends on the reader’s preference.
Ethos is a category that appeals to connecting one thing to another to help advertise the product.Resse's uses this tactic by including the pretty well -known rapper Mr.lupo linking the fans of mr.lupo to the cereal.People who watch the commercial will recognize mr.lupo and will want to buy the cereal from the commercial he's in.Connecting the two products together gets out more publicity for and the said product.Ethos is efficient in the process of linking two different subjects so they benefit each other.
Nobel Prize winner, professor, author and economist, Joseph E. Stiglitz, wrote “Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%.” Joseph E.

There are many people who see space as the last and greatest frontier for humankind. There are many groups who are leading the way and NASA is one of them. But should our tax dollars be invested in such an idea? No, according to British history professor Jerry DeGroot. His thesis, in the article “is that United States should, a sensually, defund NASA. From what I can tell, he uses mainly pathos to try to sway his argument, leaving very little appeals to ethos and practically none to logos. I’m going to explore these three appeals, as well as many of the fallacies he uses within the piece.

We are in contact with marketing tactics daily, even though we may not even realize it; from every print ad, commercial and even product placement in television shows and movies are used to subliminally to make people want it and need it. Per The Mercury Reader assembled by Maren Clegg Hyer, Ph.D. explains the Aristotle‘s art of effective persuasion and the Greek triangle mode of rhetoric of pathos, ethos and logos to determine that this ad is indeed effective. Ads can elicit many emotions and rely on our reactions to make sales quotas. It can send strong emotions to not be left out, and a hurry and join the crowd, it can emote a desire to come along and join the fun. In Perrier’s “Thirst for the Extraordinary” commercial by the directors Fluer & Manu, from You Tube is effective because and relies heavily on pathos and ethos, it lacks any logos although the commercial involves no logos, it has what is called the “bandwagon” fallacy, so it is very effective and extremely persuasive in its purpose to sell Perrier water.
For some, an argument may be a discussion that leads people to become mad and feel hate towards someone. This also might bring tension, between friends and family, but there’re times when people just want to discuss a topic that they feel would make the conflict better or resolved. When an argument happens, it’s recommended to use Aristotle’s Rhetorical Triangle. It is here that Aristotle set’s up three ways to appeal to the audience, which are ethos, pathos, and logos. These three appeals help the writer to persuade, inform, or convince the audience that what he/she is doing the right thing. Without Aristotle’s Rhetorical Triangle and Aims of Arguments, the writer would unsuccessfully perform an argument correctly. If creditability of the
