Persuasive Rhetorical Analysis
6. Are emotional appeals in persuasive writing ethical? Why or why not. (This should be an interesting discussion – much to talk about!)
I think using emotional appeals in persuasive writing is unethical for some reasons. First, when I use emotional appeals in persuasive writing, I am not allowing the reader to decide rationally and logically because I have effect on his or her emotions. On the other hand, using emotional appeals in persuasive writing can be ethnic in one case. This case is if the content of the persuasive writing is important to the reader, here emotional appeals should be used.
