An example of Logos in the documentary was at 31:01 when one of the women workers goes into the office of the Labor Board. With Logos the producer is trying to convince an audience by using logic or reason. The scene at 31:01 does just that because the scene is being held inside the office of the Labor Board. This worker that the documentary has been following goes in to talk about her severance pay that Sonya wont pay. Eventually the Labor Board tells her that Sonya said they were only willing to pay $860.…
To begin with, Eighner establishes his use of logos by emphasizing his view on wastefulness in today’s society. Eighner communicates in his article, “Because help seldom stays long at these places, pizzas are often made with wrong topping, refused on delivery for being cold, or baked incorrectly. The products to be discarded are boxed up” (714). Here, he is exemplifying his claim that people are wasting away foods over little things, such as toppings on pizzas. Furthermore, Eighner writes “Students throw food away around breaks because they do not know whether it has spoiled or will spoil before they return” (715). This is another example of wastefulness, students discard perfectly good food because they are unaware of the expiration date.…
One of the greatest examples of logos in his argument is when he tells the story of the Golden Rice GMO. Saletan wrote: “Right now, across the world, a quarter of a billion preschool-age children are suffering from vitamin A deficiency. Every year, 250,000 to 500,000 of these kids go blind. Within a year, half of the blinded children will die. Much of the affliction is in Southeast Asia, where people rely on rice for their nutrition. Unfortunately, rice doesn’t have enough beta carotene—the compound that, when digested, produces vitamin A. About twenty-five years ago, a team of scientists set out to solve this problem. Their plan was to engineer a new kind of rice that would make beta carotene. (Make a GMO that caused rice to produce Vitamin A) This was a sustainable solution. It would use biotechnology to prevent suffering, disability, and death. In 1999, they created the world’s first beta carotene rice by transferring genes from both daffodils and bacteria. The yellow grains became known as “Golden Rice.” (Saletan) Clearly, GMOs can better the lives of…
The author says that “300 people gathered to support Kim Davis” this turns into an example of logos when he uses the fact that “400,000 people stated their religious preference as Jedi.” This is an important example of logos because the reader will see that although there were 300 supporters, that is irrelevant, there are more supporters for gay marriage than there are for the county clerk. Also, Abdul-Jabbar compares Kim Davis’s situation to her being “no Rosa Parks.” “she’s the bus driver maintaining the status quo of injustice while forcing all the passengers to go where she takes them, not where they want to go.” This is an important analogy and example of logos because the author shows that she should not be honored like we honor Rosa Parks. People associate the bus driver as someone who should have stood up in a time of injustice, and now the author is making them associate Kim Davis with…
Logos makes logical arguments by appealing to the audience's reason. According to Davis' statement in the first chapter, "Many members of the Black, Latino, and Native American communities today have a far higher chance of going to prison than receiving a good education during my own career as an anti prison activist." Angela Davis wants to inform readers of preconceived notions about jail. This aids in the audience's comprehension of the hardships faced by various racial communities and…
The author of the article that will be talked about throughout this paper will be analyzed to see if they used pathos, ethos, and logos in the article to make the best article possible. Ethos dealing with the credibility of the article makes sure that the website has the right sources and the details and examples to back up what the author is talking about in the article. Pathos on the other hand deals with the emotion throughout and how people relate towards what is being talked about in the journal or whatever was wrote about. Last but not least is logos which is dealing with logic and reason such as statistics and ratings making sure what information that is found in the article is the right information and has the right numbers to be able to tell the public whenever the public reads the article.…
Bill Clinton is a master of communication. He communicates his emotions and people respond to that. "Pathos" is the pillar that he uses most. We want the sense of community so he gives us the opportunities. He has an enthusiasm and excitement while talking. He willing to share that enthusiasm when exposed to anyone. "Logos" is the next pillar he uses for communication. He is very clever and he has good memories. When he prelects, he can easily give exactly the numbers, the information of the problem. When everyone knows him is Bill Clinton, "Ethos" will be appear. He is a famous person so his speech has absolute conviction. He uses "pathos" and "logos" most because that is his characteristic. He uses "ethos" least because he does not want…
Martin luther king jr said whether they're black, white or asian they should be treated the same. He uses logos in it because he said we should all have the same freedom and what he said makes you think 100 years later and the black are still not free. Mather lutin king uses pathos because his speech was very inspirational. “100 years later and…
In this speech, Martin Luther King Jr. attempts to show his opinion against American involvement in the Vietnam War. He does a fairly acceptable job with this speech, but there are frequent errors in his speech. To support his speech, MLK uses a variety of Ethos and Pathos examples. However there is not a high amount of Logos examples to be found. There is also a sense of MLK being bias during this speech. This makes his overall speech unsteady.…
In Letter From Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King, he enhances his argument through the use of logos and allusion. MLK uses logos on page 6 when he states "Birmingham is the most thoroughly segregated city in the U.S." He is comparing Birminghams segregation to every other city in the U.S. He supports his argument with factual evidence. These facts make his argument more believable and reliable. MLK also uses allusion on page 8 when he states " We can never forget that everything that Hitler did in Germany was legal." He mentions Hitler to help support him in his argument by hoping that you will compare it to the segregation that was happening at the time and realize that the people participating in the acts believe it is moral or okay.…
First Martin Luther King effectively makes use of logos throughout his letter. He clarifies all of the reasons for his arguments and supports them well. His arguments are also logical in their appeal. For example, in the beginning of his letter he gives a response to the clergymen’s claim that the demonstrations were unwise and untimely. He states that the Negro community had no alternative except to prepare for direct action. He supports this claim by saying that the Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers, but they consistently refused to engage in good-faith negotiation. He also gives more support to his argument by writing about another incident in September when the Negro leaders finally got their chance to talk with the leaders of Birmingham. He states that in the course of negotiations certain promises were made by the merchants-for example to remove the stores’ humiliating racial sings. On the basis of these promises, the Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth and the leaders of the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights agreed to a moratorium on all demonstrations. As the weeks and the months went on, they realized that they were the victims of broken promises, because the signs went back up. Due to the fact that their hopes were yet again blasted they were forced to resort to direct action. This is just one example of many others in which Martin Luther King makes excellent appeals to logos.…
Even from the earliest points in his life, Bernie Sanders has been a powerful example of bravery. Born to Polish immigrants in 1941, Sanders was not blessed with prosperous childhood years, as he grew up in a cramped Brooklyn apartment. However, during these early years the future senator and now presidential candidate began to form an interest in the political world. In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, he proclaimed, “I saw unfairness. That was the major inspiration in my politics.” (bio) Being surrounded by economic and social disparity, Sanders decided to transcend and battle his way through the obstacles presented before him. During his time at the University of Chicago, he became an active leader in the Civil Rights movement, assisting in the organization of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Reflecting on his call to action, the senator states,…
In Chapter Seven, “The Tradition of Education and Argument”, Nader explains the importance of both Education and Argument. He goes into detail about how Education is crucial to the development of an individual. Also that Education provides knowledge about the world and builds character. Education helps us develop a point of view and form opinions. Ralph Nader then displays that his Mother and Father both his “parents put a premium on our education, both at school and at home.” (P.72) An Argument is about having different opinions about problems and it can be the proof needed to prove a truth. Nader gives us an example about how his Father would challenge him on the redistribution of wealth. “It was like arguing with an ever-resilient law professor…” (P.76). He then goes on to prove that his Father’s ideas on this argument were not only at home but anywhere he felt the opportunity of conversation.…
The use of logos was found throughout the whole article as he presents many statistical examples to support his argument. For example, Speel was talking about the drastic differences between popular votes and electoral votes; he gives an example about how Donald Trump won Pennsylvania and Florida with about 200,000 votes and earned 49 electoral votes. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton won Massachusetts by almost a million votes but earned only 11 electoral votes (Speel). Here, Speel is trying to expose one of the many flaws of the Electoral College by showing that it does not make sense that a candidate can beat their opponent by more than 800,000 votes in one state and still not get close to half the amount of electoral votes that their opponent got. Although the article is mainly full of logos, Speel was still able to insert some ethos and pathos. In the beginning of the article, Speel talks about Hillary Clinton’s promise about abolishing the Electoral college when she took office as the New York Senator. He next states that “She never pursued her promise – a decision that must haunt her today. In this year’s election, she won at least 600,000 more votes than Donald Trump, but lost by a significant margin in the Electoral College.”(Speel) Here, Speel effectively uses pathos to make the audience feel bad for Hillary Clinton because the one thing that she tried to get rid of was the reason why she lost…
