https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc Notes about ethos, logos, pathos, and some logical fallacies. Created for Skatrud’s Public Speaking class. en-us 2016-12-13 17:59:01 UTC 2016-12-13 19:18:24 UTC hello@padlet.com 18strupw https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143440620 Ethical appeal. But can also be used to establish the credibility of someone stating information.

"As a doctor, I am qualified to tell you that this course of treatment will likely generate the best results."

He is stating he is qualified to present you with the best information because he is a doctor.

"The data is perfectly clear: this investment has consistently turned a profit year-over-year, even in spite of market declines in other areas."

The man making this statement is being very clear and is only trying to sway you with simple facts.]]> 2016-12-13 18:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143440711 18strupw https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143441531 Appeal to emotions.

"Better men than us have fought and died to preserve this great nation. Now is our turn to return the favor. For God and country, gentlemen!"

This example is telling you to remember those who fought before you. The appeal is telling them to fight harder to not let these men die in vain.]]> 2016-12-13 18:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143441531 18strupw https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143443579 If we let this happen than that will inevitably lead to this other OUTRAGEOUS thing.

"Once you start drinking alone, you're destined to die naked in a gutter with a liver made of pure grain alcohol."

Shows drinking alone as the one small step, and the dying naked in the gutter as the inevitable leap.]]> 2016-12-13 18:16:26 UTC https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143443579 18strupw https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143444153 Misrepresenting your opponents position and turning them into looking like a villain for opposing you. You're either with me or against me.

President Obama has said on multiple occasions that those opposed to his healthcare initiative want to keep the status quo, despite the wealth of ideas that have come from his opposition to change healthcare.

This quote shows the with me or against me nature of the straw man.]]> 2016-12-13 18:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143444153 18strupw https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143458027 Attacking someone making a case rather than the case.

“You are clearly just too young to understand.”

Because of their inexperience they couldn't possibly be right.]]> 2016-12-13 18:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143458027 18strupw https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143461277 Appealing to the popularity of a claim as the only reason for accepting it.

"This songs great , everybody likes it!"

Saying if everyone likes it, it must really be great.]]> 2016-12-13 19:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143461277 18strupw https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143461822 Because on thing happens after another then the first thing must have caused the second.

"Right after I sneezed someone was murdered! My sneezes kill people!"

Their is no evidence to support the statement that their sneezes kill people. One event simply happened to occur after the other.]]> 2016-12-13 19:10:33 UTC https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143461822 18strupw https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143462718 Doing or supporting something just because most people do.

"Everyone says pagan rituals are the best so they must be!"

Simply because most people enjoy and participate in pagan rituals does not make them the best.]]> 2016-12-13 19:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143462718 18strupw https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143463594 An appeal to false Authority.

"According to me, I am the best. So I must be the best."

This one is true, however I am not the best judge of who is the best and have no authority to make that statement.]]> 2016-12-13 19:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/18strupw/jul2dfco5fgc/wish/143463594
