Snickers to that fear of a men in consideration and displayed it in this ad.…
An argument by logic (logos) is not only following rules of logic, but also using techniques that use what the audience is thinking. It appeals to the audience’s brain. An argument by character (ethos) uses the persuader’s personality, reputation, and ability to look trustworthy. It appeals to the audience’s gut.…
The human brain, according to Simon Sinek, is motivated strongest by emotions and why they should buy the product. When people feel emotionally motivated, it is the strongest type of motivation, and they are more likely to act. This is why pathos is the central part of Apple advertisements.

The pictures of the phones also appeal to our emotions with the aesthetically appealing model.…

He does not refer to any other method of solving this problem and in one instance, he says that creating these types of degree programs will bring the two issues closer together. This is assuming that the action he wants universities to take is the only one that will provide a positive outcome of a closer knit community between the academic and athletic departments. There are other possible ways to decrease this separation other than adding an entirely new major only specific to those…

Instead it told of a girl who would do what was right or die trying, but actually died in the process. Not even able to see the outcome of what she fought for. This girl’s name was Antigone and she believed so strongly that she wanted everyone around her to see it the way she did, so she used the powers of persuasion which are ethos, pathos, and logos.…
