Why guys go for outta-their-league ladies - Behavior- msnbc.com - 0 views

  • Men, no matter how unattractive, think they’ve got a chance with a runway model

      This website is an example of pathos. It invokes a feeling within the reader. It is designed to make women laugh and to make men feel worse about themselves. Which are both obvious emotions. In my opinion, there are no examples of ethos involved for the reputation of the author or of the person or subject being talked about. There are no examples of ethos except to say that "studies have been done". There is also usage of biased words, such as "plump patron" to create more humor and emotion.

First thoughts: Guns of September - First Read - msnbc.com - 0 views

  • But in the August NBC/WSJ poll, McCain led Obama significantly among non-college whites (51%-33%) but narrowly among college-educated whites (46%-43%). The GOP presidential nominee improved those college numbers in the most recent NBC/WSJ poll (to 51%-43%), but that’s still below Bush’s numbers in October 2004.

      This is an example of ethos because the argument is mostly driven by what people think of the candidates reputation. There are poll numbers and percentages, because all the candidates want you to choose them because they think they are the best one for the job. This argument relies on values, the idea of change, race, and other sensitive issues that apply to one party or the other. Around this time of year when there are elections we are bombarded by ethos, combined with pathos and attempts at logos.

The problem with a strong dollar - 0 views

  • A strengthening dollar means U.S. goods and services become less desirable to foreigners. Foreign sales, particularly sales in emerging markets, are part of what buoyed U.S. companies' profits during the U.S. downturn.

      I believe this is an example of logos. The argument is based on the economy and what happens when we have a strong dollar vs. a weak one. The outcomes are known because of oil demand, foreign exchange, and other things. There are numbers, figures, and percentages included to strengthen the point. This is using logic to get an idea across.

MediaStorm: Common Ground by Scott Strazzante - 0 views

  •  
    On July 2, 2002, Jean and Harlow Cagwin watched as their home - the last remnant of their 118-acre cattle farm in Lockport, Illinois - was torn down clearing the way for a new housing development. Several years later, Ed and Amanda Grabenhofer and their four children moved into the new Willow Walk subdivision, their house just yards from where the Cagwin's home once stood.

  • The only case where this could be debated is if the author were a victim of torture or they did it themselves, in which case would place them on a personal level with the topic.

  • A great example of logos is employed in another authors stance on torture. The logical approach is as follows,“A Since   (1)just combat-killing is total destruction of a person,                 (2)torture is- usually-only partial destruction or temporary incapacitation of a person, and                 (3)the total destruction of a person is a greater harm than the personal destruction of a person is, thenB since      (4)just combat-killing is a greater harm than torture usually is;                 (5)just-combat killing is sometimes morally permissible                 (6)torture is sometimes morally permissible” (Shue 125).

      Overall, paper has good content and organization. All the references were used correctly and good points were made. The only things to work on are getting the paper out of 1st person, and using stronger transitions.

  • If a person speaking appears uncomfortable or unsure about what they are saying, the audience will perceive their ethos and credentials as untrustworthy, and persuasion will not work.
