How is President Obama using an appeal to reason, or logos, in this excerpt?For the American people can no more meet the demands
of today's world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. No single person can train all the math and science teachers we'll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation and one people.
An appeal to<em> logos</em> is one which uses logical arguments in order to persuade the reader of an opinion. In this case, President Obama is providing logical arguments as evidence for his claim. He argues that unity is vital to the country because a single person cannot accomplish everything that is necessary for a society to function and thrive.
