Hugo Black's Use Of Ethos Pathos Logos

The documentary “Blackfish” uses Ethos, Pathos, and Logos several times throughout the documentary. While some individuals think there are more of one than the other, there is more of pathos than the others. Blackfish appeals to more of emotion through the entire documentary. At the beginning, the documentary shows former trainers, who used to work there. The former trainers tell personal experiences of what they felt when they first got a job at SeaWorld. The director was showing what everyone thinks when they go to SeaWorld. As the documentary progress, the film shows how the whales are emotionally destroyed and incidents that have happen with the killer whales. Between this, there are personal stories from prior employees, that hit close

Before walking into Walmart, the customers are guaranteed the lowest prices on every item. How can that possibly be? How can this corporation knock out its competition in every department? The answer is quite simple: Walmart is able to drop the ethics of society, pay the lowest wages, and cut the largest crucial corners to offer items for cheaper. In "Walmart: The High Cost of Low Wages", Robert Greenwald offers a completely valid argument. As a community, state, country, or world, is society educated and aware of what Walmart does to create products for dollars less? In the movie, Greenwald explains the impacts of Walmart on its employees, on farmers, on business owners, on factory workers, and, most importantly, on families. Through the use of the three rhetorical appeals (logos, ethos, and pathos), Greenwald was able to grab his audience and, ultimately, show the devastation brought to global society through the development of the Walmart Corporation.

Logos, ethos, and pathos are essential components used in advertising. By learning to recognize logos, ethos, and pathos in advertising, we are able to understand the message and what is being portrayed. (Albert et al, 2014), suggested that Aristotle postulated that a speaker’s ability to effectively convince an audience is constructed on how well the speaker appeals to that audience in three different areas: logos, ethos, and pathos. These appeals together form what Aristotle calls a rhetorical triangle.

In “window to save worlds coral reefs rapidly closing.” Michael Greshko targets a environmentalist audience to explain that coral bleaching is one of the many effects of climate change. Which can only be stopped by limiting our emissions and using cleaner energy. Greshko was effective in getting his message across using ethos, pathos and logos. He mainly uses logos but still uses pathos and ethos enough to get his point across.

The decision in this case seems to have left public school students’ free speech rights in an ambiguous state. The Justices in support of the majority opinion—Justices Thomas, Alito, Kennedy, and Scalia—were thus

In 1969, three young activists walked into school and were told they could not symbolically express themselves. Without these teens carrying out this simple act of rebellion, students today would lack basic rights in the school place, as they would have no outlet outside of the home to express their views. In order to understand Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District one must examine the history behind the case, analyze the case itself, and evaluate the impacts on modern society.

"It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." This was the main argument from Justice Abe Fortas that came into play at the Tinker v. Des Moines School District Case of 1969. The case involved a small group of students who silently dissented against the government’s policy during the ongoing Vietnam War by wearing black armbands to school. In response by the school administration, each of those students was suspended from the public schools they attended in Des Moines, Iowa. This case is a prime example of the Constitutionally protected symbolic speech we have

Speaker, Occasion, Audience, Purpose, and Subject are 5 different interactions that is shown throughout literature. SOAPS is the acronym for these 5 interactions. Rhetoric is when you or someone were to be persuading a person with writing or speaking to them. Rhetoric is broken down into 3 different types of appeals which are ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos means appeals to ethics-convincing someone with previous experience (Ex. Doctor), logos means appeals logic, and pathos is appeals to emotions. Both the rhetoric appeals and the 5 different interactions can be mixed into a form of writing. These 5 different interactions and the 3 different types of appeals can be found in variety of texts like the texts that had interactions with the moon landing in the late 1970s. Those of which are the printing press writing about the moon landing, a speech that was prepared by President Nixon if needed to be stated, a person stating his opinion of the rocket ship taking flight, and a drawing created to be a political cartoon.

Throughout Baldwin’s essay, he encourages changes in education for blacks, but he does so using ethos and pathos. For example, he starts off by notifying teachers that they will meet the most determined resistance from society, as he has in his writings. This shows his credibility by informing the teachers that they do not struggle alone in this issue. The use of ethos leads him to the use of pathos by providing an example of an African American child growing up, drawing conclusions about the world, but not having an explanation for it. This really makes the audience contemplate about their childhoods.

The Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines originated in Iowa in December 1965 when seven Des Moines high school students wore black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War. Ultimately they were suspended in which the student’s fathers sued the school district. The court case battled through the District Court, Court of Appeals, and Supreme Court. The ultimate ruling was that Des Moines School District violated the students First Amendment rights. Years later, in Oregon in 1990, teachers a McMinnville High School started a lawful strike and in response, the school district hired replacement teachers. Following, two students wore and distributed buttons and stickers with slogans supporting the strike. The students were suspended which led to the student’s parents suing the school district where the District Court provides a ruling. Similar to Tinker v. Des Moines, Chandler v. McMinnville was ruled that the school violated the students First Amendment rights of the students.

In the articles “Alone in the Crowd” and “As technology Gets Better, Will Society Get Worse?,” Michael Price and Tim Wu, respectively acknowledge the effects of technological advances. While both Price and Wu use effective rhetorical strategies in their articles, one presents their argument in a more persuasive manner. Wu effectively convinces his audience that as a society we continue to advance technologically, but for the wrong reasons. Price references an interview with Sherry Turkle, to convey his opinion that the social media frenzy consumes our society. Price and Wu both present their point of view, but Wu has more factual information to justify his argument. The appeal to emotion is stronger in Price’s article; however, in this situation Wu’s logos appeal is more rhetorically effective. Beyond Ethos, Pathos, and

Writers use pathos, ethos, and logos in their writing to appeal to their audience. Pathos is an appeal to emotions, ethos is an appeal to trust, and logos is an appeal to reasoning or logic. Frederick Douglass's, " What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" is about his views and the views of many slaves towards the Fourth of July. He uses ethos, pathos, and logos effectively to convey his central message.

The Tinker vs. Des Moines case helped determined and interpret legal rights of young citizens for the first time. A group of students made a decision to wear black armbands to school to support a peace establishing agreement during the Vietnam War. As a result, the participating students; Mary Beth Tinker, Christopher Eckhardt, and John Tinker got suspended for their actions (Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District).The school outlawed and attempted to penalize petitioners for a “silent, passive expression of opinion”, that didn’t cause any commotion (Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School Dist). The parents decided to sue the school for disrespecting the student’s constitutional rights of expression.

The least effective text is “Handwriting Matters; Cursive Doesn’t” by Kate Gladstone. In the text the method of appeal that is used most effectively in the text is logos. Kate Gladstone used logos the most throughout the passage and she didn’t use ethos and pathos as much. The three methods of appeal weren’t balanced throughout the passage which made her text less effective. A piece of evidence that demonstrates this is found towards the middle of the passage, “Adults increasingly abandon cursive. In 2012, handwriting teachers were surveyed at a conference hosted by Zaner-Bloser, a publisher of cursive textbooks. Only 37 percent wrote in cursive; another 8 percent printed. The majority, 55 percent, wrote a hybrid; some elements resembling print-writing,

The functionality and success of the American democracy is dictated by the fundamental rights outlined in the Constitution. These rights have been utilized by American citizens on numerous occasions throughout the centuries when advocating for these critical rights. However, questions started to arise when high school students started exercising these rights in their high schools, specifically their right to free speech and expression. The right of high school students to freedom of speech became an issue when their speech began to disrupt the school day and, as a result, teachers began to restrict it. Tinker vs. Des Moines, the landmark case advocating for students’ right to free speech, as well as Bethel vs. Fraser, the case ruling that students don’t have the same first amendment rights as adults, have been instrumental in dictating the outcome of future court cases regarding the right to freedom of speech of high school students. The exchange of information and exposure to new and different ideas is critical to students’ education and should be protected. However, if the freedom of speech infringes upon the need to maintain a safe learning environment, should it be protected? In my opinion, interpretations of Tinker have proved to be too restrictive on the First Amendment rights of students. The right to freedom of speech is a core right of the American
