6.5. Ethos, Pathos and Logos
Persuading people is all about the relationship you have with your audience. There is a great deal of ethical responsibility in persuasive speaking because you are attempting to change your audience’s behavior. The heart of persuasive speaking is Ethos (speaker credibility), pathos (appeal to emotion) and logos (appeal to logic.) Before we get to the persuasive assignment, I want all of you to understand these concepts so you can apply them ethically to your persuasive speech.
Watch my video on ethos, pathos and logos:
At one point in the video I talk about Ethos as a habit.
For this discussion you are to 1. Explain what habits you regularly engage in that help you earn credibility, 2. explain at least one habit you need to develop to enhance your credibility, and 3. respond to two other posts from your peers. I want you to critically examine your behavior, because dong do will make you more credible and ethical in the future.
