All three websites both describe rhetoric as a persuasive and effective form of speech. The use of rhetoric is when you want a favorable outcome in your favor. Through logos, pathos, and ethos rhetorical persuasion is possible.
One website goes into more depth than the other two about what logos, pathos, and ethos is. Logos is the use of induction, pathos is creating an emotional link, and ethos is being viewed as trustworthy. This website explains how it is better to be open minded and create shared opinions, because then both sides can have something to agree on if they both have different views on the main topic.
The Webster definition describes how this style of communication is ancient and dates back to the 14th century. Rhetoric can be performed with both speaking and writing persuasively. Free dictionary explains how rhetoric is more about the end result and not so much the process getting there.
Rhetoric Exigence is my favorite of the four links for chapter 2 because it explains the rhetoric communication process as cause and effect. It states if a group is preparing for a project and one group member does not show, it will not be forgotten, a reaction will happen. The group member will be contacted and the situation will have to be resolved.
This is a pretty useful site when it comes to learning about effective presentation skills. It highlights delivery, content, visual aids, and Q&A sessions. The site has written tips, as well as video examples for each subtopic.
