Modes of Persuasion

Risay117 · November 02, 2014, 04:28:02 PM

Which modes are you most likely to use when persuading anyone on a subject matter?

Pathos:

Quote

Pathos (plural: pathe) is an appeal to the audience’s emotions, and the terms pathetic and empathy are derived from it.

Ethos:

Quote

Ethos (plural: ethe) is an appeal to the authority or credibility of the presenter.

Logos:

Quote

Logos (plural: logoi) is logical appeal or the simulation of it, and the term logic is derived from it.

So Sep7anites, which type of persuasive tones are you most likely to follow, or heed to?
Which would you gravitate towards??

Logic.

I'd use all three, but Ethos is definitely the least used.

I'd say I gravitate towards Logos.

Funny i notice alot of people choosing Logos.

Usually i suspect most people to choose Pathos especially with people conforming to authority regularly. Usually avoiding face to face confrontation. Ethos is also used heavily but when Pathos is being challenged.

Logos though i feel is rarely used and just something people use because they want to think of themselves as rational human beings.

Probably Pathos and Logos.

All three, my logic and how I feel about it gave me authority long ago.
