Ethos, credibility of a source, is essential to the construction of an argument. During the film, several professors, activists, and scholars

In the book, Gaby Rodriguez uses pathos to get the reader's attention. In the book Rodriguez stated, “ We don’t win this battle by finger pointing and gossiping. We win by education, talking and lifting each other up. We win it by being decent to one another.” (Rodriguez 127). Rodriguez showed emotion to link back to show readers their own inner strength. The quote states that life is not about how others are, but if you respect others and make appropriate comments that will make people happy and lift them up. The strategy used is emotion. Emotions come in by the emotions Rodriguez faced during her fake pregnancy. During her time of being “pregnant”, Rodriguez faced a lot of bullying, but she always stayed strong, and knew her own inner strength. Another emotion was also used in “The Pregnancy Project”. According to Rodriguez, “No one had ever presented their boards speech in front of the whole school before, but the teacher thought it could impact someone's life” (Rodriguez 148). Rodriguez showed the readers that a presentation or an experiment that a person makes, can help someone feel like they are important, and for them to feel their own inner strength. The strategy she used is pathos. Pathos is shown by having stories of your own and telling someone about their process and how it impacted their lives, and

The example that represent pathos in the beginning of the music video informs the readers on what the situation may be. The begining scene is of a mother sitting in her bedroom smoking while her daughter, Angela who appears to be the age of 6 or 7, is walking off to school by herself. As she walks alone, she observes another mother hugging her

According to Alan G. Gross and Arthur E. Walzer, ethos is a type of ethical appeal establishing the speaker’s credibility or character and expertise as persuasive techniques (…).

Analysis of “My Stroke of Insight” The TED talk “My Stroke of Insight” given by a neuroanatomist, Jill Bolte Taylor, is about the brain and how humans have different perceptions because of their left and right hemispheres. People who tend to think with their right hemisphere, are “energy-beings connected to one another through the consciousness of our right hemispheres as one human family.” People who think with their left hemisphere are responsible for thinking of themselves as single individuals “I am.” In this talk, she asks us an important question, “which side do you choose and when,” to answer this question Taylor uses the three rhetorical strategies and medium to connect to the audience and express her opinion on the side she would choose.

In the riveting documentary Audrie & Daisy, husband and wife director team Bonnie Cohen and Jon Shenk retrace the events leading up to the harrowing sexual assaults of three teenaged girls; Audrie Pott, Daisy Coleman, and Paige Parkhurst, and expose the agonizing after effects and exploitation of the assaults. Subsequent interviews with family members, friends and law enforcement officials give important details about the aftermath of the events, and introduce viewers to possibly the biggest villain of all, Sherriff Darren White of Maryville, Missouri. Throughout the documentary White appears smug while he states that “as County Sheriff, “the buck stops here” (Darren White), and when asked about the crimes committed by Maryville’s football star, he rebuts with “was there a crime?” (Darren White) As the film moves through the twists and turns of the cases, the settings, conflicts, and tragedies are enhanced by the use of montage, long and subjective shots, close-ups and personal sketches that submerge the audience into the victim’s point of view. At the conclusion of the film, the viewer is left to decide what constitutes sexual assault and rape, and if society and law enforcement are to blame for the today’s ‘rape culture’ acceptance and the continued victimization of young girls. It also reveals how much can be hidden from parents, and how disconnected parents become from their children in a social media world.

Pathos is the persuave appeal to the audience emotion and in the article, "Stop calling an abortion a difficult decision",Jane Harris uses the appeal pathos the least in this article and instead relys mostly on logic and her creditability to persuade her audience that abortion isn't as difficult as it seems.

Patricia Lockwood’s The Rape Joke is a risky composition- not because it discloses information about Lockwood’s personal rape experience, but because it does so from a comedic stance, ridiculing the unfortunate event and the events leading up to and after it. While the creation of the poem was prompted due to the sexual assault she experienced, the content and subject are not centered around the incident or the assaulter but around rape culture and the sociological concept of victim blaming, from both society and oneself. There is no such thing as a rape joke-the joke is the incredulous ways society has guided people to respond to it.

History background and culture effect everyone is the 21th Century. In America, we are like a melting pot where we have different nationality and culture. Even though we are so used to different cultures, we might not understand the beliefs in each cultures. Stereotype occurred in the movie Wild Child several times. Wild Child is a movie that was filmed in 2008 is it a story about “a rebellious Malibu princess is shipped off to a strict English boarding school by her father.”

Rape can also have both physical and psychological effects on the victim. The physical effect of rape includes the transmission of STDs, pregnancy and suicidal tendency as stated in the article, What Are the Physical and Psychological Effects of Sexual Assault and Rape?, written by Roxanne Dryden-Edwards and edited by Melissa Conrad Stöppler. The same article also states the psychological effects of rape, which include, the developmental of nightmares, sleep disorders, loss of apatite, posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, substance abuse

Pathos is the writers attempt to appeal to the audience emotions. For instance, “In June, a professor protecting himself with a pseudonym wrote an essay for Vox describing how gingerly he now has to teach. ‘“I’m a Liberal Professor, and My Liberal Students Terrify Me,”’ the headline said” (Lukianoff and Haidt). The authors appeal to emotion paints a picture in the reader’s mind, further opening their eyes to make them feel how the professor was feeling. Also, naming the article “The Coddling of the American Mind” was a great was to represent how the problem was being addressed. The use of the word “coddling” reflected the way colleges were treating their students like babies. Enforcing trigger warnings to protect the students are not helping them for the future. This appeals to pathos because the audience gets a glimpse of what the after effect of “babying” has on

Pathos appeals to the reader’s emotions by using emotional stories and imagery. Pathos strategies are often used to grab and hold the reader’s attention. Emotional or personal stories give the reader an opportunity to emotionally relate to the story, and allows them to be emotionally connected. An emotionally connected reader is more interested in the story that a reader who is not emotionally connected.

The incorporation of pathos in an argument can form a strong structured reading or a make the reader feel emotionally taken advantage of. In Hooks argument she uses pathos effectively, without exploiting readers of her article. She states, "estrangement from nature and engagement in mind/body splits made it all the more possible for black people to internalize white-supremacist assumptions about black identity" (973). Hooks uses this sentence to appeal to those who have experienced a loss of identity to feel for the blacks. Also, the citation brings a desirable topic up of unity within different race and cultures, which adds more reason for the reader to be persuaded to her side of the argument: the emotional pull of how blacks were treated even away from their normal ways of living.
