Nearly every day, you hear or read persuasive appeals. Advertisers try to persuade you to buy a product or service. A friend pre
sents plans for the weekend, hoping you'll join in. A teacher or mentor lays out the reasons you should get started early on an assignment. A politician or celebrity suggests a course of action. Any time you are asked to choose, act, or think in the certain way, you're experiencing persuasion. To become aware of how often you are the audience of a persuasive appeal, respond to this prompt:\ • Identify and describe three persuasive appeals you have heard, seen, or read in the last week.
• Explain the choice, action, or thought that each appeal required of you.
• Describe how you responded to each appeal. Did you find it compelling? Did you act on it? Why or why not?
The three persuasive appeals that I have heard are:
Ethos
Pathos
Logos
<h3>What is Logos?</h3>
This refers to the persuasive appeal that makes use of logic to convince a person about a particular viewpoint.
Hence, we can see that the way I responded to logos when it was used on me was that I was convinced and as a result, acted, because he made use of sound logic.
If you don’t learn history you are condemned to repeat it. Children sometimes don’t learn and repeat bad things so not learning history is kinda like that.
