2  Rhetoric is persuasion. It is the opposite of a fight.  In Rhetoric, you argue. Argument is the means by which you persuade people to side with you on any given issue.  List two examples where this skill might be valuable in real life.  There are three kinds of rhetoric according to Aristotle: logos, ethos, and pathos.

3  Argument by logic  In other words, using logic to persuade others is logical rhetoric.

4  Argument by character. Using ones character to persuade others.  This is definitely one aspect of political campaigns. Photo ops and stories of the candidates all serve the purpose of rhetoric by ethos.  This form of rhetoric is also used in court by the selection of witnesses with good character.

5  Persuasion by emotion.  This is almost always used in Politics to incite persuasion. Politicians appeal on the emotion of the audience. Hitler was an expert at this one.  Lawyers use this one in court to persuade the jury. If they feel sympathy for your client, they will most likely take your client’s side. Therefore, you win the case.
