Ethos is the use of one’s title or background in order to speak on an issue that is presented. Hasselstrom is a female poet, essayist and writing teacher who is using experiences in order to debate the issue of carrying a weapon. Hasselstrom does not have the proper ethos in order to speak on this topic because she does not have any credentials that state she is qualified enough to speak on the issue of guns. The most experience Hasselstrom has with a weapon is the fact that she owns one, however she is lacks the credentials to give certifiable proof that other methods besides a gun is the only valid method that could prevent a physical altercation from occuring. In the excerpt, Hasselstrom stated that a pistol is the only way to shift the balance of power which then provided safety. She has no background on if that statement is true nor have any of the knowledge to justify the

One of my favorite commercials to watch is the Chick-Fil-A commercials. Their commercials are very ironic but at the same time interesting and entertaining. The main purpose of their commercial is to persuade an audience to go and buy their product or maybe convince an audience to come back again and buy more of their product. They are able to influence their audience through the use of rhetorical elements. Rhetorical elements include: the rhetor, discourse, audience, and rhetorical triangle. Their commercials don’t necessarily target one particular audience, they incorporate different ideas into their commercial to target different audiences such as families, and football fans.
Ethos is the author’s credibility used to persuade the audience. Nicholas Carr has experience writing about issues that involve technology and culture. For example, his books include Does IT Matter? , The Big Switch: Rewiring the World. From Edison to Google, The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing To Our Brains,
The government believes that it is mandated to protect Americans from all dangers, including themselves. This paper shows Joe Sabia effectively uses ethos, pathos and logos to effectively convince his readers that the government should stay away from the fast food industry. Ethos is a Greek word that means credibility. However, most philosophers link the word ethos to ethical appeal. Ethical appeal means that a person is convincing by the virtue of his character.
In Robert Kenner’s documentary film, Food Inc., the purpose is to inform Americans the reality of the food industry. The film illustrates the malevolent side of the food industry rather than an advertised image. Compelling images are used to show the horrors of the food industry such as the visuals of innocent animals being slaughtered and mistreated by the second. The claims that the film asserts have further expanded the ominous image of the food industry. Food inc. portrays a warning for Americans about what they are really eating, one can take a stand for better and safer foods.
When was the last time your mom told you to eat your vegetables? We all know vegetables are the main component in helping us grow up to be big, strong, and healthy because our moms have told us a million times. Depending on where your vegetables came from—an all-natural, fresh, organic local farm, or from an industrially produced factory with toxic preservatives, dyes, and high fructose corn syrup—your mom could have been wrong when she said they would give you strength and health. In the last few decades, society has become substantially familiarized with unnatural, chemically processed foods that lack the nutrients our bodies need. The concerning risk factors about these foods that we devour are strongly and passionately expressed in Joel Salatin’s essay titled, “Declare Your Independence” featured in Food, Inc. Joel Salatin does not only inform his audience about the negatives of the industrial food system, but he also uses primarily pathos to persuade them to make a change by declaring their independence from overly processed, artificial
Ethos is based on persuasion achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think of the power the speaker has to inspire belief. Ethos is dynamic and developed in a messages conveyed by the sender, people who will be reading the article would be convinced. Nelson Mandela was an icon, he is a professional person and he could easily convince people because of his credibility, charisma and control.
Trix cereal commercial uses an effective technique to get children’s attention. They are using a friendly familiar animal to catch the children’s attention but, they give the rabbit talking abilities. “Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids.” The company’s slogan is memorable and gets the viewers’ attention having the use of logos.
The first element of the rhetorical structure and possibly the strongest in this documentary is pathos. Pathos refers to the emotion exhibited throughout the documentary. Food, Inc. is filled with an array of colors, sounds, stories, and images that all appeal to emotion. Miserable images of cows being slaughtered with dark music in the background, pictures of industrial factories with no sun and unhappy workers, and even a depressing and eye-opening home video of a young boy who was killed by the disease as a result of bad food were all portrayed throughout Food, Inc. Barbara Kowalcyk, mother of the late Kevin, is an advocate for establishing food standards with companies throughout the nation. When asked about her sons death, she replied, “To watch this beautiful child go from being perfectly healthy to dead in 12 days-- it was just unbelievable that this could happen from eating food.” (Food, Inc.) Obviously very devastated and still heartbroken over her loss, Kowalcyk fought
War happens more times than anyone wants it to happen. With war, people are involved, and children are part of that group of people. To get help for these people and children, organizations go to commercials. All of these commercials uses rhetorical appeals such as the use of logic, as in facts, this is call logos; while others use trust, like credentials is ethos; and lastly pathos, where commercials tend to target the audience’s emotions. Pathos commercials can either make the watcher angry or happy at a topic, or plain upset. Bringing the watcher closer to the point of doing what the author of the commercial wants. “Most Shocking Second a Day” does this. This commercial effectively uses pathos in the scenes and characters and logos at the
The term ethos describes an appeal to credibility or character. They do a great job establishing credibility because the athletes are seen performing with the drink, which in turn, would persuade viewers to believe that if they drink Gatorade that they will perform at the same level. The people in the commercial are able to directly link their greatest successes and failures to Gatorade by making it seem that it was a major part of their success. This helps build the credibility of all of the athletes in the ad because everyone wants to be able to believe that people like these athletes would know most about the energy drinks that fuel them in live games. Since Gatorade is able to build this seemingly credible source because of who vouches for them, they have been able to spread their product across the nation while building their energy drink
It was during this time when critics, fueled by Cold war era paranoia, claimed that “mind control techniques” were being used to persuade the public into spending. (History: 1950s) In reality, this was because of the use of motivational research. Using psychology, this allowed advertisers to appeal to their consumer’s desires for acceptance, security, sex, and success. By analyzing buying habits and people’s attitudes towards products, advertisers could gauge which ads were more successful based on brand association, color, and packaging. Advertising research has confirmed that ads “emphasizing the aroma, taste, or texture of a food product […] establish their product as the relevant one for the consumer making a choice.” (Marchand xx) By using similar techniques on non-food items, those products become associated with the primal reactions of taste and
The way the commercial is played out in a very basic way to lure viewers in to try the product. It simply started by creating a scene which portrayed lots of unusual actions such as talking chickens and french fries sitting on stairs. And lastly by showing the product and talking about the item, that last part creates lots of scenes in the viewer’s imagination. Scenes including: the viewer eating the item, buying the item and tasting the item. Overall the commercial is very persuasive with its techniques in displaying the cheap, tasty food.
Commercials works through the human emotions and vanity and it appeals toward the psychologically domain turning into a temptation for weak mind people. For instance, if a person is at home watching T.V., very comfortable and suddenly, a commercial promoting any kind of food and drink comes up, that person will be hungry and thirsty in a couple of minutes. The advertising influenced his mind, provoking an involuntary reaction to do what the commercial induced him to do.
