In this article the Pentagon's grand rhetoric wasn't matched with any great influx of funding for science, and it wasn't clear how any one technology could help fight a loosely organized, deliberately low-tech enemy. In 2005, Iraq was experimenting with roadside bombs so to counter these improvised explosives, Pentagon officials called the academic community for the “Manhattan Project”. The Manhattan Project was basically a big bomb that the U.S. wanted to create to try to scare other countries. Six years later, the Department of Defense spent approximately $17 billion on countering improvised explosives but the vast majority of that money has gone on implementing known solutions such as stronger armor for vehicles and personnel, not advanced…
Who would ever imagine that the begging of aerospace and the landing on the moon was going to be forty-three years before that the Apollo landed on the moon. What is even more surprising that this was going too occurred in a simple farm. Robert Goddard was a pioneer in Aerospace who was often ridiculed by many editorial and most American scientists. Most off them did not believe on his theories and nobody never took the initiative to do a bigger research in rockets with liquid-propellants. Robert was not ready to stop and this article is an excerpt of what it seems to be part of his journal.…
-Ethos is the most essential to an argument. By using ethos he denotes that some of his friends and bloggers that he follows have all felt the same way that he has felt about the internet. This makes the readers follow that people around the world and even his…
Ethos refers to the way which that presenter can convince the audience by his/her character. Credibility, honesty, authority, and motive should describe Ethos, which is the character of the presenter. Authority is given when you have a clear knowledge about the matter in question. It also depends on the title it has in society that gives it authenticity. For example, the picture (1) presents to…
With the advents of technology, advertisements depict women as desirable commodities this has poisoned the minds of many young women ultimately morphing values and beliefs. Women are shown in subordinate, submissive, and male pleasing roles. Media and advertisement representation reflects and reinforces sexism in society today. The social standards of beauty and feminism are set by Hollywood’s greatest celebrities. They do this by alluring women into buying cosmetic products affirming the concept of female beauty. Companies such as “bebe”, apply the same technique to persuade women in buying their apparel. In the ad “bebe”, the company portrays a woman holding a bright red lipstick getting off a taxi while flaunting a revealing dress. On the other side, she is shown obeying all rules, in bed with black revealing lingerie with an enticing text, “9pm to 5am obey all the rules, you miss all the fun”. The ad amplifies its message and allures its audience to disobey all the rules if they want to become “the bad girl” by purchasing “bebe’s” apparel.…
The actual launch of the Apollo 13 was on April 11, 1970. Two days into the mission it looked like the smoothest flight that the Apollo program had ever seen. "The spacecraft is in real good shape as far as we are concerned. We're bored to tears down here." said Joe Kerwin of mission control (3). At 55 hours the crew held a TV broadcast for 49 minutes where they showed off their living conditions and how they worked in weightless situations. Nine minutes after the broadcast mission control instructed that Odyssey to give their oxygen tanks a stir and moments later oxygen tank No.2 in the service module exploded, due to an exposed fan wire. The eruption then damaged oxygen tank No.1, causing them to start to lose oxygen rapidly. The cover of…
To begin, I could have listed facts and certainties regarding the solar eclipse in order to persuade and negotiate my audience, as opposed to using pathos as my primary rhetorical application. Specifically, I could have cited the rarity and infrequency of a solar eclipse by providing dates, such as, when the last solar eclipse took place and when the next solar eclipse is expected. Next, I might have applied a combination of ethos and logos as a method of persuasion by citing a reputable and credible source, such as, an NC State science professor or a prestigious and scholarly website or article regarding the solar eclipse. As well, I could have explained that the solar eclipse, unlike ENG 101 is not a frequent occurrence and cannot be cancelled…
Ethos-"But this time, the world was not silent. This time, we do respond. This time, we intervene” (446). This makes the audience feel proud for being better than the people of authority before them and being able to make a difference.…
The Times of London article, "Man Takes First Steps on the Moon," and "The July 16, 1969, Launch: A Symbol of Man's Greatness," are two very different pieces of work with few similarities. The Times article seems to be very factual informative, while focusing mainly on the actual landing of Apollo 11 and the events that happened following it. Contrastingly, the commentary given by Ayn Rand in "The July 16, 1969, Launch: A Symbol of Man's Greatness," expands on the initial launch and the feelings felt by those who watched.…
Using ethos is an advantage because we trust someone that is friends with another person to be a good judge of their friend's character.Using logos is easy because everything makes sense and it’s factual so it’s easy for everyone to understand why something is a correct reason for doing an action.I think the disadvantages of using pathos is that sometimes you shouldn’t use your emotions to reason. Using ethos is a disadvantage because there will always be somebody more credible or someone that more authority than you, some people don’t respect authority. Using logos is a disadvantage because sometimes logic will be too cold and a difficult way of persuading a person you need to tap into the human emotional side to them not the logical cerebral side of…
In An Inconvenient Truth, Albert Gore presents us with a thought-provoking speech by employing three persuasive appeals. He make use of the elements of ethos, logos, and pathos in order to better achieve the goal of notifying the severity of global warming as well as awakening people’s environmental consciousness. As a reminder from our text book Pathos is an emotional appeal. Ethos is an ethical appeal. Logos is a logical appeal. An example of pathos is simply someone appealing to you through emotions (sadness, happiness, etc.). Ethos is basically showing your character or qualification on whatever. During the last two decades Al Gore had shown his tendency to be more sophist than Gadfly even if his comparing himself to one of the most credited and privileged philosopher of our Era.…
Revealed in 1999, “In Event of Moon Disaster”, written by William Safire and meant for President Richard Nixon, was to be used in case of an accident on the moon. Within the speech, it addressed to the public of the loss of two astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. Safire uses the rhetorical appeals ethos, logos, and pathos throughout the speech.…
According to the Harvard Business Review, “Ethos is your credibility, or the reason people should believe what you are saying.” (Edinger, 2013, para. 3) Ethos in communication is rooted by the philosopher Aristotle who stated, “We believe fair minded people to a greater extent and more quickly than we do others.” (Persuasive power: The Importance of Ethos, Pathos and Logos, 2013, para. 2). Establishing a level of professionalism and providing accurate, and valuable information was important in establishing credibility and developing the relationship. Years of reputable relationships within the partner community proved valuable in establishing and further developing this partnership. I was able to reference working relationships and successful partnerships in a similar industry to build on…
