    Mark Gungor’s speech is presented as a dual issue. That is to say, the speaker explains, in such an interesting way, how a difference between men and women’s brain can be made. The register used to express the ideas is really intelligible; therefore it is easy to follow. In addition, public attention is perfectly caught due to the fact that a brain sculpture is used to figure out distinct parts of the brain to establish the characteristics that makes non–identical the thoughts, expressiveness, and so on, depending on the sex. Even if this talk is presented in a neurological way, it is enjoyable even for non-specialized…

    The first Ted Talk was about ben dunlap and his many Hungarian mentors. He mostly focused on Mr. Sandor Teszler and is the current president of Wofford College. His uncle Henry was living under a death threat from the Ku Klux Klan. His uncle did a very Hungarian act by moving his family to Massachusetts so that he could face the Ku Klan Klan alone in South Carolina. Thinking about it, I pretty sure I would do the same thing being in his situation. Hungarians have their own equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan which I found disturbing. Dunlap states that, “Sandor Teszler somewhat resembles Mahatma Gandhi, minus the loincloth and plus orthopedic boots.” He was teased for having two club feet.…

    This Ted talk intended to inform others about the serious plight of young black boys being raised in America. Clint Smith eloquently described the unfair rules and teachings and restriction sometimes known as “the talk” that is given to black boys of a particular age in an effort to keep them safe. The need for these rules have been brought on by bias, bigotry, racism, and ignorance of other people mostly of other ethnicities and races. “The Talk” may differ from person to person, or house to house but as Clint said in the speech, there were resounding similarities in its content across the board. Even with the seemingly bleak outlook on life that this “talk” may bring he reiterates that parents, teachers and leaders in the community must constantly recite the notion that there is always hope for changes and that we must make our children aware of it.…

    In his blog post, Sean Patrick Hughes discusses his concern over the election by arguing that a Donald Trump presidency could be a significant barrier to the fight against division in our country. He begins his post by clearing articulating where his view is coming from; he is not a “safe space, social crusader,” but rather identifies as “someone with conservative values” who loves God, his family, and his guns. The first paragraph is entirely dedicated to establishing ethos because he understands that to effectively argue to his audience, they must not instantly write him off as a “leftist cry baby” or a “right-wing nut job,” as is so common in many opinion pieces relating to the election. The next paragraphs are dedicated to providing a background…

    John Lewis introduces pathos into his speech when he is describing the violent methods of the government against blacks. For example, Lewis vividly describes the notorious actions of the government when saying, “What did the federal government do when local police officials kicked and assaulted the pregnant wife of Slater King, and she lost her baby?” (para. 6). In this statement, Lewis shows how the government has failed to keep black people safe and continue to harm them, and that these people harmed can not recover from the pain they have received. Lewis utilizes pathos in order to gain the audience's support, to gain their sympathy and perhaps make the event sound more gruesome than it actually was, which nonetheless was an inhumane act…

    In a letter that Albert Einstein writes, he uses ethos and logos to effectively answer Phyllis Wright’s question on whether scientists pray. In order to achieve this, Einstein first utilizes ethos to give credibility to the answer. He explicitly states that the response is his own opinion by saying “my answer” in the first sentence. This man is considered to be the greatest scientist of the twentieth century and if it is his answer, Wright will be convinced with his response. Also, Wright specifically wrote to him and so when he responds personally, Wright will trust the response because she respects Einstein enough to write to him. Additionally, Einstein successfully employs logos to assist in his purpose to answer the question. For example,…
