Claim #2: Many veterans that get involuntarily separated have the biggest challenges due to not having the benefits they worked for while in the military. Counterargument & Rebuttal: There are many resources that veterans can use to help with the transition process.

In today's society where opinion matters, people have been extremely vocal about the lack of support the government has provided to our veterans. Many feel as if the government should do more, while others feel as if they are doing enough. Everyone will have a difference of opinion no matter if they have severed in the military or not. No matter how one may feel, is extremely important to take care of our veterans. As they have sacrificed their lives, time, and family to protect our country. Contrary to one's belief, the government provides a substantial amount of programs, which support the veterans. Honestly more could be done. On any given day you could see women and men standing on the corner holding signs implying they are homeless veterans and will work for food. A few programs the government offers our veterans are funding for mental health services, The Wounded Warrior Project and Vocational Rehabilitation and Education, which will be discussed throughout this essay. When you research the programs, they make it sound as if all proceeds are going towards the best treatment and care money could buy.
The author of this passage uses the appeal to logic and reasoning or Logos, to build up their argument. For example in paragraph 3, they provides specific facts when they say “In 2011, ESPN and Fox signed television rights deals worth $3 billion to the Pacific-12 conference”. The author uses facts in paragraph 4 when they say, “According to the most recent federal data, the University of Texas
Ethos is a rhetorical appeal used to grab the attention of the audience’s morals or ethics.
Logos is the appeal to logic and reasoning. Logos primarily uses data and statistics in order to persuade an audience. However, logos can also utilize the “if A then B” statements to come to logical conclusions using an assumed common sense for your “A” statement The appeal to logic is highly used in scientific studies because every conclusion is based on results and numbers obtained from experiments.
Ethos in Greek means character. Ethos refers to the trustworthiness or credibility of the writer or speaker. Kennedy uses ethos by letting us know the sources of his facts. He uses ethos when he says that quote about the employment costs was told to him by the Acting Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. When Kennedy let the audience know where his sources came from, the audience knows that they can trust what Kennedy says during his speech. The audience will know he isn’t talking non-sense. This means his arguments are more effective, and the audience will want to support his
Pathos is used in order to link the essay with the reader’s emotions and ethos is used to show the writers moral character. For example, pathos is used when Kozol speaks to a student of a Bronx high school, “Think of it this way,” said a sixteen-year-old girl. “If people in New York woke up one day and learned that we were gone…how would they feel?...I think they’d be relieved.” (Kozol 205) This part of the essay really made me feel sad for this girl who lives in a society where she has grown up feeling like now one cares about her or others of her race.
How to Speak How to Listen by Mortimer Adler discusses the best techniques to use while in an argument. According to Adler, ethos signifies one’s character. Ethos is present when one is trying to have a character that is fitting for the purpose at hand. Ethos includes making yourself attractive to the audience and proving to them that you are credible. An example of having ethos has a lot to do with how I would present myself to the audience. In order for them to believe that I am credible, I must look the part, that includes cleanliness, looking put together, and healthy. If the audience sees that you can take care of yourself, then they have a higher chance of believing that you can take care of them and their situation. Using ethos can also include presenting the audience with a personal story. This will fill them in with background information about myself and let them know how my character played out during whatever situation I spoke about. The situation would have to be similar to the one the audience is facing, in order for them to draw parallels and better understand how I would handle that particular event.
A women named Michele A. Flournoy from the Washington Post stated that the federal government has done great assistance with transitioning veterans. In 2009 the Veterans Affair put out the new 9/11 GI bill resulting to one million veterans going to college or universities.
INTRODUCTION: How many people have a Veteran in their family or know one? If yes do you help them or is it someone else’s problem. Well many people think it’s someone else problem, but the truth is it’s our problem.
Lincoln made a promise stated, “To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan”. This quote is being neglected by us as Americans in trying to provide for our veterans. Do the research and you will see that veterans who have served for our country are living homeless. Also, thousands of veterans are forced to buy food stamps and they struggle to feed their families. Veterans in hospitals who suffer from PTSD attempt to commit suicide more than you would think. In this essay, I’m going to explain how our government can help provide better housing, food benefits, and ways we can help provide better mental health facilities.
This essay really does appeal to all three of the ethos, logos, and pathos. He talks about so many different things that appeal to people in different ways. He uses ethos when he talks about his position in the United States. He talks about logos when he talks about why we need peace and all of the points also appeal to logos. Finally it appeals to pathos by talking about why we entered the war and the point of all of this.
Contrary to the perception that our nation’s veterans are well supported in fact many go without the services they require of which they are
In today’s society, veterans health care system is troubling to those aware of the problem in the outside world. Veterans are people that have sacrificed so much for the United States, yet receive very little in regards to their health and well-being, which poses a great problem. The U.S Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is very vocal about the lack of health care options for veterans and is actively trying to make reforms and provide solutions to these problems. The Department of Veterans Affairs "strives to ensure that you have access to all of your needed services wherever you receive your VA health care” (Department of Veterans Affairs, 2016). They also claim that our veterans deserve the best care possible (Department of Veterans Affairs, 2016). While all seems well, there are still a large percentage of veterans that get denied veteran services. The goal of this study is to pinpoint the disparities among veteran health care, shine a light on the issues to increase awareness within the community, and then attempt to create solutions for these problems. This can
Atticus uses ethos in his argument to persuade the court that they should believe Tom Robinson because he is a decent man. He does this when he calls Tom a “quiet, respectable, humble Negro.” This is a use of ethos because this statement shows the audience that Tom is a good person. Atticus also used ethos by referencing Thomas Jefferson and how he said that all men are created equal. This was a use of ethos because Thomas Jefferson was an experienced and authoritative man. Another example would be how Atticus states “I’m no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system - that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality.” This is a form of ethos because when Atticus said this he enhanced his figure by making it sound as though he is a realist about the possible findings of Tom Robinson. Atticus also gave the jury a compliment when he said that “it is a living, working reality.”
Ethos is a way of affecting someone's cultural trust in a certain individual. Brutus uses this when he says “believe in mine honor.” This means that he told the people to listen to him because of his reputation as an honorable man. Antony also uses ethos in his speech when he says "I thrice presented him a kingly crown, which he did thrice refuse.” Saying that Brutus claim of Caesar being ambitious were false because Caesar was humble enough to refuse the crown three times. Both men use ethos to its full ability in their speeches.
