Question

What are ethos, pathos, and logos? What are they and what are some examples of them?

Answer 1

Ethos provides proof of something using ethics or credibility. Ex: "This face wash is dermatologist recommended."

Pathos is trying to persuade you by sending you down an emotional or sad path. Ex- Animal abuse commercial trying to get you to donate.

Logos is using facts and usually statistics to prove a point. Ex- "About 480,000 deaths are caused every year in the U.S. due to the high amounts of cigarette smoking."
