Rhetoric The art of persuasive speaking or writing

Aristotle Greek philosopher The father of the Modes of Persuasion Studied under Plato

Persuasion is clearly a sort of demonstration, since we are most fully persuaded when we consider a thing to have been demonstrated of the modes of persuasion furnished. 
By the spoken word there are three kinds. [...] 1. Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible. 2. Secondly, persuasion may come through the hearers,
when the speech stirs their emotions. [...] 3. Thirdly, persuasion is effected through the speech itself
when we have proved a truth or an apparent truth by means
of the persuasive arguments suitable to the case in question. ---- ARISTOTLE, "Rhetoric", 350 BCE

Ethos Ethos: Ethics Ethics: The distinction between what is good or evil To make the audience decide right or wrong about what is being presented Political issues, national beliefs, religious issues, etc… Information is usually presented by an expert *Ethics: Societal beliefs around what is right/wrong *Morals: Personal beliefs around what is right/wrong

Pathos Pathos: Emotion To make the audience feel something about what is presented to it Children, animals, illness, memories, etc… “Tugs at your heart strings”

Logos Logos: Logic To make the audience think about what is presented to it Statistics, facts, authorities, etc… Very straightforward, and not “fluff”. A very scientific, factual approach.

Multiple Appeals The more appeals used in an ad the more likely the consumer is to connect with it.

Debatable vs. Non-Debatable p. 14

Non-debatable Topics based on facts and are, therefore, not appropriate topics for a persuasive essay. Barack Obama is the elected leader of the U.S. Smoking is harmful to a person’s health.

Debatable Topics based on opinion and are, therefore, appropriate for a persuasive essay. Magazines, social media, and music videos promote unhealthy body images. Teenagers who commit murder should be punished as adults.

This is What a Feminist Looks Like p. 16

Claims Needs to be narrow Ex1: Drug use is detrimental to society.

Claims Express and opinion Be specific and clear Must pass the “How and Why” Test: - Must answer either ‘how?’ or ‘why?’ in the thesis Often follow a similar format: Even though (opposing argument), it is clear that (your opinion/stance) because (state two reasons).

Claims Types of claims 1. Fact or definition: Argue about the definition of a topic EX: Global warming is nothing more than normal, long-term cycles of climate change. 2. Cause and Effect: Argue that one person, thing, or event caused another thing or event to occur. Ex: The popularity of SUV’s in America has caused pollution to increase.

Claims 3. Value: Claims made about what something is worth, whether we value it, or how we rate or categorize something EX: Global warming is the most pressing challenge in the world today. 4. Solutions or policies: Argue for or against a certain solution or policy approach to a problem. Ex: Instead of drilling for oil in Alaska, we should be focusing on ways to reduce oil consumption.
