Using Ethos: “ You are attempting to convince an audience that animal testing is morally wrong

Ethos, one of Aristotle's three methods of persuasion, depends on the speaker's character. In fact, "ethos" is the Greek word for "character". In this type of argument, you are using your own reputation to win people's trust.

So, for example, if the nation was at war, and so the President got on television and started talking. "Don't worry everybody. I promise you, I will work with our allies to end this war as soon as possible".

We would trust him, right? Because why wouldn't we? He's the President! <em>The </em>authority figure. If anybody can end the war, it would be the President, right?

So, for this example, the speaker would have to be someone involved with animal testing. Maybe a scientist who used to test on animals but is reformed? He could say something like:

Everybody, listen to me. Animal testing is wrong. I have seen firsthand the negative effects, the abuse these animals suffer from. I have committed myself to working to implement some alternative research techniques. Let me share some of those with you."

We would trust him. Why? Because, of course he knows what he's talking about! He's actually done animal testing. He's seen it up close.

Hope this helps!

Which description correctly identifies the underlined words in this sentence?
Anna [14]

Answer:

Hello. You didn't show which words are underlined, but we can describe those words as follows:

  • Sarah = Noun
  • and = conjunction
  • Peter = Noun
  • went = verb
  • on = conjunction
  • a = article
  • honeymoon = noun
  • after = adverb
  • they = pronoun
  • were = verb
  • married = verb

Explanation:

The noun is the term that represents the class of words that names beings and objects in general. In this case, we can say that the words "Sara", "Peter" and "honeymoon", represent words that are naming living beings and situations, for this reason, we can call them nouns.

A conjunction, on the other hand, are words that connect and connect two terms in a sentence. These conjunctions can establish a relationship of dependence between these two terms, or of independence, the important thing is that they provide a coherent link that keeps the sentence flowing.

The verb is the word that defines an action or a phenomenon of nature that is occurring, that has occurred or will occur. In the sentence shown above, the verb is showing an action that occurred in the past and are "went", "were" and "married".

The article, in turn, is a word that specifies the noun as to its degree and number. In the sentence above, the article is the word "a".

Pronouns are variable words that can determine who the nouns are (she, he, them, me, ...). They can also replace nouns and determine the ownership of objects and the location of things or people.

The adverb, in turn, presents invariable words whose main function is to modify the verb, establishing a relationship of mode, intensity, time, place, statement, among others.
