Ethos question number 1

Taylor Swift is a shining example of a celebrity that puts effort into presenting an image. She has been portrayed as the "country girl next door" since her debut, exuding feminine vitality. By her love and heartbreak song, she is just a young girl in life. She had been able to connect with everyone on social media by maintaining authentic lifestyle images and being a relatable girl. Taylor is well media trained in answering interview questions to express the idealized views of girl’s girl.

Pathos question number 3

2025-09-28 04:23:53 UTC

I decided to purchase a camera a month ago. All because the seller told me that it was a nice camera and that it was on sale. Being pulled along with the crowd, I join the bandwagon out of fear of losing out on a fantastic offer. In order to get away with shipping me the camera, the seller later made up a lot of lies. Yes, and I was defrauded. Although I am well aware that I am an impulsive person, acting on my feelings frequently leads to problems; I wish I could be more rational.

Ethos question number 1

26lmonroy — 2025-09-28 23:45:04 UTC

I personally think it is wrong to create an image of yourself that might not be who you really are because it could lead to you feeling uncomfortable with the people that you made them think to trust you. But in reality you do not trust them and have to be stuck with them for a while.

question 1.

26ocervantes — 2025-09-29 01:16:16 UTC

Michelle Obama is a great example of someone who portrays a good image. As a lawyer and First Lady she advocates for the health and education of children. Showing care for people by advocating causes like healthy eating and education for kids. She is in many interviews and speeches building trust with the audience.

question 1.

26ocervantes — 2025-09-29 01:23:27 UTC

Nike because of its popularity and its features with famous stars. Examples are Lebron James and Cristiano Ronaldo, athletes who have worked hard for everything. By promoting these athletes they build trust with the people. The phrase "Just Do It" also motivates others to push past limits. (Empowering and inspiring)

question 1.

26ocervantes — 2025-09-29 01:29:26 UTC

If pigs could fly there would be masses of poop everywhere. Pigs would be in cages and prices of pork made food would increase. If money grew on trees, no one would be poor or the economy would collapse. Money would lose its value.

Ethos question number 1

25smartin5_1 — 2025-09-29 04:49:54 UTC

A celebrity who works hard on a particular project is artist/ singer Jessie Murph. She has never gave up on her hopes and dreams of becoming an artist and singer, now shes going to be next big singer artist by selling out so many of her tours and making so much music.

Ethos question number 4

26ple6 — 2025-09-29 07:20:17 UTC

I don't particularly think it's wrong to create a different image of yourself because it is basically a layer of protection. There are reasons why people create a different image towards certain people to protect themselves from the evilness that surrounds them. A lot of famous people do this in order to protect themselves from fans that are obsessive and will go to many different levels to pry in their life.

Pathos question number 1

26ple6 — 2025-09-29 07:29:36 UTC

One advertisement would be the brand Champions. This brand persuades people by making consumers believe that wearing this brand would demonstrate that they're hardworking. This brand also opened up opportunities for people to acknowledge the times they were considered as champions. Therefore, these name brands connect with their audiences through emotions.

Logos question number 1

26ple6 — 2025-09-29 07:32:58 UTC

If pigs could fly, we would not be able to consume pork and have them as one of the meat choices we could purchase. In addition, if money actually grows on trees, we would not have to actually work for the money in order to pay for expenses. Money would eventually be one of the easiest things they could own.

Question 4

26nma7 — 2025-09-29 16:00:30 UTC

I think it is wrong to create an image of yourself that is not who you really are. Pretending to be someone else just to convince people makes you look fake. It may work at first, but over time people might lose trust when they find out the truth. I think it's better to show who you really are because being honest is more important.

Question 3

26nma7 — 2025-09-29 16:07:26 UTC

It is unfair to use emotions to persuade people when it's used to make them believe something that isn't true. For example, when some commercials make people feel guilty if they don't buy a product, even if the product doesn't really help. Using emotions this way is deceptive because it uses people feelings instead of facts.

Question 1

26nma7 — 2025-09-29 16:13:04 UTC

If pigs could fly, airplanes might have to avoid them, and people might wear helmets outside. If money grew on trees, everyone would have a lot of money, and it would not be special anymore.

logos question 1

2025-09-29 16:42:42 UTC

If pigs could fly, airline traffic may need a reform, and pigs will be harder to pig farming. if money could grow on a tree the economy will go chaotic, then people will no longer use money as a trade object anymore, because they start to lose their value.

Pathos question number 2

25smartin5_1 — 2025-09-29 18:08:26 UTC

I think that its unfair to try and use emotions to persuade people, because they can use manipulation to try and get that person to do something.

Logos question number 1

25smartin5_1 — 2025-09-29 18:10:16 UTC

The logical consequences is that someone could think that person is being serious and they might take it the wrong way.

I think it is wrong to create a different image of yourself from who you really are because people will trust you based on the false image that you are trying to create, and just imagine once they discover the truth, absolutely, your credibility is lost no matter what. Ethos depends on honesty, so pretending to be someone else can destroy the trust of others to you.

26xnguyen2 — 2025-09-29 18:10:37 UTC

It is unfair when someone uses fear or guilt to put others under pressure of agreeing with something, especially in fields like ads or political events. This can make people act without thinking clearly about the facts.

26xnguyen2 — 2025-09-29 18:11:38 UTC

Ethos question number 1

2025-09-29 18:11:40 UTC

Giveon, the music artist, is someone that works extremely hard to project the image of being a sad individual, making songs about his relationship experience. Giveon bases his songs around his past relationship with his ex-girlfriend, speaking about the good and bad times. This can be seen in his hit song titled "Like I want you". The piece speaks about how he only sees the good memories when looking into the eyes of his ex-girlfriend. He wants her back but has to avoid speaking up about his feelings because he knows he caused her many hardships during the relationship. Giveon maintains this "dark, sad" image by posting songs and album covers that are based off of sad emotions.

Ethos Question #4

2025-09-29 18:13:08 UTC

I believe that is not right to project an image that does not feel like yourself. It takes away from allowing people to express themselves and their character. It can cause people to portray basically a character rather than themselves. When portraying a person or character that isn't you it can cause you to hate that thing you're portraying since it doesn't feel like you're living the life you want. That is why it is important to stay true to your authentic self.

If pigs could fly, then the farmers need to build huge cages to prevent them from escaping. And if money grew on trees, I think money would lose its true value because everyone could get it easily as much as they want, the rate of inflation will increase too as money loses its value.

26xnguyen2 — 2025-09-29 18:15:55 UTC

Pathos question number 2

2025-09-29 18:16:32 UTC

It is extremely deceptive to use emotions to persuade individuals to commit crimes. In massacres such as the Holocaust, the Germans were persuaded emotionally by Hitler. Hitler used the background of Germany and how the whole nation should feel disrespected due to the past. He also inflicted wrongful images onto Jewish individuals, making all the German people want to drive them to extinction. Situations like these now would most likely never occur due to the higher understandings in this time. The entire massacre wasn't rational and caused many deaths.

Pathos Question #2

2025-09-29 18:17:46 UTC

A scenario where it seems deceptive to use people's emotions to persuade them into doing something is peer pressure. A peer pressure moment someone may experience is the use of drugs or alcohol where someone else might tell someone they're not "cool" or "welcome" if they don't decide to take it. When people hear that they then feel obligated to do those things to ensure they are "welcome" into whatever group or setting they're in.

Logos question number 1

2025-09-29 18:20:41 UTC

If we were to use the term "If pigs could fly," some logical consequences can include airspace would be incredibly crowded. Bird AND pig droppings can be considered a hazard, especially when they're being dropped from the sky. Pigs can be used for transportation if they could fly. Pigs can be worth more due to their ability to fly, which can cause a huge economic shift.

Ethos question number 4

26krivera2 — 2025-09-29 18:23:22 UTC

I think it is wrong to try and create an image of yourself that might not be who you really are. The reason I think this is because why would you be something that you're not. Just be yourself. I personally think people are weird if they are fake and put something on for an act or to portray themselves in a certain way.

Logos Question #2

2025-09-29 18:29:28 UTC

When writing a class assignment I don't really consider too much about what would persuade my teacher. When writing for an assignment I try to deliver the message I'm writing in a professional and respectful manner where it's clear and reasonable on what I'm trying to convey. I think I shouldn't have to think about what others might think about what I'm saying but I do think it is important how the message is delivered where someone might feel more favorable to what you're trying to say.

Pathos question number 2

26krivera2 — 2025-09-29 18:34:16 UTC

I think it is wrong to use emotions to deceive or to persuade people when the subject is about a tragedy and they try to pin it on a group of people. People have been killed, assaulted, harassed for something that they didn't do, but for someone who shares one thing with them. There are people who weaponize the tragedy to go after certain groups of people and they use pathos for that. Innocent people get hurt for something they had nothing to do with

Ethos questions #1

26acastro2 — 2025-09-30 03:28:38 UTC

Oprah Winfrey is a celebrity who works hard to project a kind, wise, and inspirational image. She is a person who talks about her life openly, she supports other thought her interviews and shows. She supports education, promotes books and learning as well as donating to school and charity. She speaks about self growth and hope.

Pathos question #1

26acastro2 — 2025-09-30 03:37:09 UTC

A advertisement that uses ones emotions is for example a hungry children asking for help. With the captions being "$1 a day can help save a life", showing sad faces, soft music, creates a feeling of sad and guilt. Shows how we can solve a problem and contribute by donating, it works because advertisements like these can touch your heart which can lead for you to make a donation.

Logos question #1

26acastro2 — 2025-09-30 03:44:31 UTC

Some logical consequences to these arguments for example "if pigs could fly," flying vehicles like planes, helicopters, and jets could crash into them. As well as farms needing a way to catch pigs for producing foods. A second example " If money grew on trees" , lots of people would be rich in which could cause the money to lose its value and no one is going to want to work anymore leading to a unbalanced economy.

Ethos Question #4

26alopez5 — 2025-09-30 05:13:26 UTC

I think it is wrong for you to try and create a different image of yourself who may not be who you truly are. This is because I believe you should always be honest and authentic to your true self. If you are not doing this you will create a different perspective of yourself to other people.

Ethos question #4

2025-09-30 05:16:53 UTC

It's not always wrong to create a different image of yourself because it may help you fit in or succeed. However, if that image is truly fake or meant to trick people then it is just dishonest and hurtful.

Pathos Question #3

26alopez5 — 2025-09-30 05:20:06 UTC

Yes I have made decisions based on my emotions before. An example of this would be the way I talk to people when upset and the way I come off. It may be different than when I am not feeling many different emotions. Emotions have served me well in a situation before. They have guided me and helped me decide what I truly want to do.

Logos Question #1

26alopez5 — 2025-09-30 05:29:37 UTC

If people used faulty assumptions others may believe that they are being honest and thinking what they are saying is true. If someone started with "If pigs could fly" others may believe that pigs are actually flying.

Pathos question #1

2025-09-30 05:31:20 UTC

A commercial ad for a dog rescue shelter shows sad music and videos of dogs that are neglected dogs that are in cages, then the dogs are happy when they show scenes of them being adopted. This example uses sadness in hopes to make people want to donate or adopt a pet.

Logos question #2

2025-09-30 05:39:38 UTC

Yes, it's smart to think about what the teacher values that would make your arguments more clearer and stronger. For a teacher, I would use formal words, facts, and good organization. For a friend I would be more casual and maybe add some jokes or personal stories.

Ethos question #4

26aguerrero7 — 2025-09-30 17:41:47 UTC

I do believe that it is wrong to try to create an image of yourself that may not be who you really are. There is no need to change who you really are, because if you don't feel that you can express yourself how you are, then it's not you. A person should never try to change their image to be someone else, or trying to seem "the better person".

Pathos question #3

26aguerrero7 — 2025-09-30 17:47:12 UTC

There have been numerous times where I have made decisions based on my feelings that later on I realized how dumb it was. My emotions, most of the time, haven't served me well in making a decision, because I'm too focused on myself and my own feelings and not on how my decision in the moment could affect others. This is something that I've noticed I've improved a lot on, that I don't make decisions when I know I could regret it later.

Logos question #1

26aguerrero7 — 2025-09-30 17:52:18 UTC

An argument like "If money grew on trees" would have the logical consequence that there would be no more money or trees left. Too many people would do anything to find a tree and take all the money that is on that tree.

Ethos Question 1

2025-10-01 03:18:23 UTC

A celebrity who works hard to project a particular image is Keanu Reeves. He projects a cool, deadly, and smart image. He creates this image by working in action movies such as the John Wick series.

Ethos Question 3

2025-10-01 03:20:45 UTC

I have made a decision that i made based on my feelings and regretted later, which was buying a $500 bike. No, my emotions did not serve me well in making this decision. I realized that I stopped biking as much as I got into high school.

Logos Question 3

2025-10-01 03:39:34 UTC

This is the news article I am looking at: "Michigan church shooting survivor says she looked the gunman who killed her father in the eyes: 'I forgave him right there." The headline has hidden assumptions that killing is immoral and that many people died. The headline writers try to persuade people to click by appealing to people's emotions with the shooting and the immediate forgiveness. The author takes for granted that the audience will accept that shootings are bad, the gunman was evil, and it was kind that the woman forgave the shooter.

Ethos Question 4

2025-10-01 21:06:02 UTC

I believe creating a false image of yourself could be very discouraging and comforting. What I mean by this is you're wasting more time in creating this false version of yourself, instead you could be using that time to actually make that image a reality. I also believe it could be very discouraging because once people find out that you really aren't the person they say you are, you'll lose trust and they wouldn't want anything to do with you.

Pathos Question 2

2025-10-01 21:10:36 UTC

I think its unfair to use peoples emotions to persuade them when you are trying to lie your way out of something. For example, doing something wrong or something that the other person should know but pratically gaslighting them against how they feel to escape the consequences of your actions.

Logos Question 1

2025-10-01 21:13:55 UTC

If pigs could fly they would be compeltly different spieces needing wing, hollow bones, and lighter bodies like birds. Farmers would need super high air fences. The pigs would also distrub planes and air traffic. And they would also literally be workers by using them to carry supplies to point A to point B

Ethos question 1

26druizgonzalez — 2025-10-02 17:48:57 UTC

Will Smith is a great example of this because he always portrays himself as a good guy or the nice guy. Something he does is play the role of the good guy etc.

Pathos Question 2

26druizgonzalez — 2025-10-02 18:08:07 UTC

I think it is unfair to use someone's emotions for personal gain. For example making someone feel some type of way for personal gain.

Logos Question 3

26druizgonzalez — 2025-10-02 18:12:04 UTC

If pigs could fly that would cause a catastrophe like there would be poop everywhere. Or if money grew on trees people would just be taking other peoples money.

Pathos question 2

26lmonroy — 2025-10-03 02:18:16 UTC

I believe it is unfair to use emotions to persuade people by making them feel guilty if they don't buy something. It's manipulative strategy and it just pressures some to make the decision to do it without logic reasoning.

Logos question 1

26lmonroy — 2025-10-03 02:25:58 UTC

"If pigs could fly," it could lead to hazards like dead pigs falling from the sky, plane and car crashes, or in general they could fall on someone and potentially kill them. Also "If money grew on trees," money would become less valuable and ruin the economic system.

Ethos queston 4

26vherrerajacobo — 2025-10-05 21:03:45 UTC

I think it is bad to create an image of yourself that is not who you really are. I feel like this just makes a person seem fake and untrustworthy. There is most likely a bad reason people would make a fake image of themselves and you should be able to just be yourself.

Pathos question 2

26vherrerajacobo — 2025-10-05 21:07:11 UTC

I think it is unfair to use emotions in order to persuade people. It is very manipulative and if someone does not want to do something then it is better to be understanding then being deceptive.

Logos question 1

26vherrerajacobo — 2025-10-05 21:15:33 UTC

if someone started an arguement with faulty assupmtions like ¨If pigs could fly¨ then some logical consequences would be that planes would need to be more careful not to hit a pig, or maybe farmers would have less pigs because they flew away
