Answer:

Explanation:

NOTE: In order to solve this question efficiently, there is need to watch the videos attached to this question. Kindly check video link in the comment section of this question since it can not be attached here. If the link can not be added in the comment section, check the Channel(TED), the title is AM I NOT HUMAN? A CALL FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM.

So, from the video one can see that the presenter in the TED talk made use of Pathos more than he does for logos.

The argument/point in this presentation that I find the most compelling is when he argued that people that have bad past also deserves an empathy and not only people with no criminal record as we are all human and we can do better. The past is in the past and the present is the present.
