Question

Sometimes ethos,pathos and logos can be used to make people believe things that are not entirely true.can you think of an example?how can people avoid being tricked by faulty persuasion tactics?

Answer 1

The best example I can think of Bush (former president of the U.S) proclaimed after 9/11 that you (who would be watching his speech) are either with us or against us. Either, you are for America or you like terrorism. To avoid it, think about it first then relate it to you, believe whatever you want. While I was young when this was happening, now I proclaim that I agree with neither. I know how horrible it was but I don't believe in going to war for it.
