Try to persuade your parent or guardian to change his or her mind by using each of the three types of arguments below: Argument 1Argument 2Argument 3 I…Others/I…Few I…

12. Logos: Appeal to Logic According to Aristotle, argument is the appeal to logic or reason (Logos). Aristotle assumed that at their core, human beings were logical and that they would therefore respond to a well-constructed argument. Such an argument would resonate with people and convince them that the conclusion that they were hearing or reading was correct. Pathos: Appeal to Emotion Aristotle also knew than an appeal to emotions (Pathos) could be very persuasive. After December 7, 1941, graphic photographs of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor helped to convince Americans that entry into WWII was both justified and desirable. Contemporary American audiences respond in a similar way when they are show images of planes crashing into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Ethos: Appeal to Authority Aristotle knew that the character and authority of a speaker or writer (Ethos) could contribute to the persuasiveness of an argument. If the person making an argument is known to be honorable, truthful, knowledgeable, and trustworthy, audience are likely to accept that he or she is saying. If, on the other hand, the person is known to be deceitful, ignorant, dishonest, uninformed, or dishonorable, audiences are likely to dismiss his or her argument –no matter how persuasive it might seem. For this reason, when you analyze an argument, you should try to determine whether the writer is worth listening to- in other words, whether the writer has credibility.
