The Fast Fashion Industry

The three classic rhetoric appeals include; ethos which can be related to the ethics and credibility, pathos which relates to the emotional side, and logos which appeals to the logic or facts about the situation. Olsson taps into the pathos appeal very well by including the stories of people like Jennifer McLaughlin. Since using personal testimonies gives a first person perspective of the treatment of a Wal-Mart employee, it shows how the working conditions can negatively affect someone like Jennifer McLaughlin’s homelife. Olsson’s use of logos also excels because by using important evidence such as former lawsuits and “union-busting” tactics used by Wal-Mart, she can easily back up her case. The ethos appeal is also strong for Olsson because she has a lot of prior experience working for big newspapers which can make her a reliable source. For example, she has written for Slate, the New York Times and the Washington Post and more. However, despite her impressive experience as a journalist, one could also point out that since she writes for more liberal publishers, she may already have a personal opinion and could write in a bias

In the article “For Environmental Balance, Pick up a Rifle” by Nicholas Kristof, the author informs the reader about the importance of hunting. The piece is aimed at communities who have deer problems. Kristof states hunting should amplify so deer population would decrease. He uses the logo appeal because he uses facts, evidence, and statistics. He also uses pathos by showing emotion when he writes about Bambi and a story about a man’s fight with a deer in his house. The author uses logos and pathos to successfully convince the audience that hunting is the solution to control deer population.

Since humans are innately emotional beings, appealing to feelings can have an immense influence on the audience as well. This is why pathos is such an effective tool for persuasion. Most notably, the use of logic and reasoning forces the reader to confront facts. Logos are essential in a good argument because they utilize irrefutable evidence to inform the audience and reduce opposition. The rhetorical devices that Stanton included in the document were extremely effective in gaining support for the women’s rights

Hawthorne’s message about obtaining salvation through the means of being open and true to yourself, is shaped by the contrasts of consequences the characters Hester Prynne, who publicly acknowledges her sin, and Arthur Dimmesdale, who hides his sin, face. In Hester’s case, she was publicly shamed for her sin from the beginning and was forced to wear the symbol of her sin, the scarlet letter “A” representing adultery, to isolate her from the rest of society. She had the opportunity to leave the town and begin a new life free from the scarlet letter, but she decides to stay as, if she were to run away or remove the scarlet letter, she would be admitting to the shame of her sins. Her staying, shows she wants to change the scarlet letter to not represent her sin, but her as a character.

The authors capture the attention of the reader through an amalgamate of rhetorical patterns based on logos, ethos and pathos. Through reading these articles it is found that the writers predominantly use logos and pathos to put emphasis on their arguments. Specifically, logos is utilized to appeal to reason by repeatedly using data to uphold the arguments claims, while pathos appeals to the audience’s aptitude for compassion.

Pathos helps the readers get more motivated to try and bring about a change, because they aren’t satisfied with the way things are. Chavez states that “We know that it cannot be more important than one human life” and “the burdens of generations of poverty and powerlessness lie heavy in the fields of America”. The use of pathos helps the readers see and realize that violence is not the answer, that violence destroys and they feel they need to help this cause. Pathos gets the audience to feel the authors emotions through the essay and want to do something to help. Pathos is used as a motivator and a huge persuasive strategy to get the audience on his audience on his

I will use, pathos to appeal to my reader’s emotion. After reading and watching some of the horror stories that have been effecting our country recently worldwide. I believe my readers will be able to feel my plea when I write about the loss of lives and blatant poor training and behavior to achieve this. Logos is an appeal to logic and I hope I am able to convey my argument in a way where it wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to understand where I am coming from. I will use logos by using proper terminology and not a casual tone so my readers will only have to read and use common sense to see what I am trying to convey.

The last strategy Jill Lepore uses in her essay is Pathos. She intentionally tries to connect with her audience not just with reasoning but with emotion, the emotion that drives us to want to change something that we feel is wrong and that should be changed. In the rest of her essay she used pathos and logos at the same time but we will analyze Pathos. While quoting another source, “Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis” by

In “The Fashion Industry: Free to be an Individual” by Hannah Berry, Hannah emphasizes how social media especially advertisements pressure females to use certain product to in order to be considered beautiful. She also acknowledges the current effort of advertisement today to more realistically depicts of women. In addition, these advertisements use the modern women look to advertise products to increase women self-esteem and to encourage women to be comfortable with one’s image.

Marginalization of companies is the coming together of two or more companies that offer similar goods and services to form one legal entity. Several companies merge for the maximization of profits from their products, and reduce competition from other companies that perform similar duties. Over the years, several fashion companies have merged in the fashion industry. However, government involvement in the market economy aids in controlling and protecting both the consumer's and the fashion industry itself.

Russell quotes, “One time I went into a store and I forgot my money and they gave me the dress for free.” The Ethos appeal plays apart in this speech by how Cameron took a long pause before she began to say how she got the dress for free. As an audience member, I could tell she was embarrassed that she was telling us how she got the dress for free. The pathos appeal is showed when she speaker started to talk really fast as she was not proud that she was about to receive something she did not deserve (Russell, Ted). The pathos effect was that the store gave her the dress for free because it would benefit the store that such a pretty young woman was representing of what the store had to sell. This affects me with sorrow because it shows how misguided people

Pathos is another word for sympathy. In the speech “People and Peace, not Profits and War,” Chisholm states in lines 5-8, “As a teacher, and as a woman, I do not think I will ever understand what kind of values can be involved in spending $9 billion -- and more, I am sure -- on elaborate, unnecessary, and impractical weapons when several thousand disadvantaged children in the nation’s capital get nothing” (39). Chisholm uses pathos to show her feelings about the children. In his Vietnam speech, Martin Luther King Jr. states, “We have destroyed their two most cherished institutions: the family and the village. We have destroyed their land and their crops. We have cooperated in the crushing of the nation’s only non communist revolutionary political force, the unified Buddhist Church. We have supported the enemies of the peasants of Saigon. We have corrupted their women and children and killed their men” (156). King uses pathos so that the readers agree with his opinions on the Vietnam War. In “Let America be America Again” by Langston Hughes, he calls himself the farmer, the worker, the negro, and the people (1). Hughes wants people to realize how unfortunate he is and he wants people to sympathize with his feelings. Pathos triggers the reader’s emotions. They begin to sympathize with whoever is displaying their feelings. Authors may use this device to help the readers see the situation in their point of

The LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and queer/questioning) community has many individuals who are in primary, secondary and postsecondary institutions. Bullying that takes place at these locations often occur with people that identify or are perceived to be affiliated with the LGBTQ community. This issue is not only important to me, but it is extremely important to those professionals in the educational fields. Bullying has come to a head in the past few years and has really shown that it is a problem. Educational professionals should take this information and try to find ways in which we can help to decrease the amount of bullying in general, not only with LGBTQ individuals.
