Ethos:

Ethos (Credibility), or ethical appeal, means convincing by the character of the author. We tend to believe people whom we respect. One of the central problems of argumentation is to project an impression to the reader that you are someone worth listening to, in other words making yourself as author into an authority on the subject of the paper, as well as someone who is likable and worthy of respect.
Characteristics of Ethos or How  to develop Ethos

Pathos:


Pathos (Emotional) means persuading by appealing to the reader's emotions. We can look at texts ranging from classic essays to contemporary advertisements to see how pathos, emotional appeals, are used to persuade.

Logos

Logos (Logical) means persuading by the use of reasoning(logical arguments). This will be the most important technique we will study, and Aristotle's favorite. We'll look at deductive and inductive reasoning, and discuss what makes an effective, persuasive reason to back up your claims. Giving reasons is the heart of argumentation, and cannot be emphasized enough. We'll study the types of support you can use to substantiate your thesis, and look at some of the common logical fallacies, in order to avoid them in your writing.


Characteristics of Logos or How  to develop Logos:

Before delivering any message or statement question yourself

  • Does your message make sense
  • Is your message based on facts & evidences
  • will your call-to-action leads to the desired outcome you promise
