Sam Quinones utilizes ethos,pathos and logos in order to fight against false information with his credibility and logic as a journalist,to sway their opinion and channel their emotions to help rebuild the community and fight addiction. communities have suffered from the false salvation of using drugs for treatments against addiction when it only fuels the fire. He uses logos to convey this by laying out facts about addiction.one thing the author stated was “The U.S. medical system is good at fighting disease, Cahana believes, and awful at leading people to wellness.”― Sam Quinones, Dreamland.He said this because he has witnessed communities that were already falling apart be ripped down by government funded opium replacements also known as oxycodone. Oxycodone is just the government harnessing another revenue of income if they can take advantage of victims of addiction just to take what they have left. It is their choice whether they take the government's so-called help but as the author said “Through all this, patients were getting used to demanding drugs for treatment. They did not, however, have to accept the idea that they might, say, eat better and …show more content…
“What pain?” a South Carolina cop asked rhetorically one afternoon as we toured the fine neighborhoods south of Charlotte where he arrested kids for pills and heroin. Crime was at historic lows, drug overdose deaths at record highs. A happy façade covered a disturbing reality. I grew consumed by this
Alejandra Gomez Campaign Conclusion In every presidential campaign, candidates and their PR team work hard to grab the attention of their audience. As of today, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump all used similar techniques to appeal to the people. Using the different elements; Ethos, Pathos and Logos the people were able to decide which side they want to support. Using Ethos, Pathos and Logos helped my team and I create an interesting yet informative campaign.
This is a summary taken from “Saying Yes” by Jacob Sullum; Chapter 8; “Body and Soul”. An ever-present theme in Sullum’s book is what he calls “voodoo pharmacology”—the idea, promoted in large part by the government, that certain drugs have the power to hijack people and enslave them in an inescapable prison of craving and compulsion. Sullum seeks to show that this idea is a myth, that only a tiny percentage of illegal-drug users become addicts, whereas the vast majority of people who use illegal drugs live normal, productive, loving lives. The book is filled with valuable insights derived from deconstructing government statistics about drugs and drug use. Sullum shows how even the most vilified drugs, such as heroin and crack cocaine, are
I believe that the piece “‘The Pills are everywhere’:How the Opioid Crisis Claims Its Youngest Victims” is credible, after examining the article. The piece opens up the argument on the issue now surrounding parents struggling with addiction; their children. Their safety is in question, and this article, written by Julie Turkewitz, brings this issue to light. Turkewitz uses facts such as the total deaths of minors by opioid poisoning since 2015, but she also tells the story of Penny Mae Cormani, 1, and her family's response to the death of their daughter. She hears Penny’s grandmother, who gives her direct quotes for the article.
Ethos is the ethical appeal in communication. Katy Perry demonstrates this on her Twitter page when she made a post saying, “Happy #PRIDE month. I see you and I love you.” This is her way of showing her support of an ethical standpoint. Katy is showing an intended sign of respect for the LGBT community.

Carrick, Pennsylvania is the drug overdose capital of the region.

September 11, 2001 is a day that has gone down in history as a tragic day in American history due to the horrific terrorist attacks caused by the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda. A couple of hours later following the attacks previous president George W Bush delivered a much-needed reassurance and a sense of leadership to the American people in his address to the nation when most American felt uneasy and unsure of what the future would look like. Bush uses several examples of Pathos, Ethos and Logos along with several uses of rhetorical devices to get American moral up from the ground. Pathos was used to evoke emotional responses from the audience. Logos was used to appeal to the audience’s sense of logic and reason the audience.
I. Importance: As American deaths from drug overdoses continue to rise in the United States, the nation is faced with a public health crisis so profound that in October 2017, President Trump declared the opioid epidemic to be a national public health emergency (Merica). President Trump’s declaration came after numerous studies indicating the danger opioid addiction posed; for example, a 2016 study entitled “Increases in Drug and Opioid-Involved Overdose Deaths—United States, 2010-2015” claimed that drug overdose deaths “nearly tripled during 1999-2014,” reaching a startling high 52,404 deaths in 2015 (Rudd, et al). These statistics are more than just disturbing revelations regarding the opioid crisis; they are evidence of a serious problem that is rapidly affecting the lives of more and more Americans every year. Death by overdose is not the only public policy concern, however, as millions of Americans are also addicted to prescription opioids.
Drugs only provide temporary tranquility, and cannot fix the long term effects of trauma. The excessive use of substances interferes with the functionality of the human brain, preventing an individual from thinking clearly. In the song “Sam Stone”, the author says, “But the morphine eased the pain, And the grass grew round his brain” (Prine 1). The song lyric illustrates the brief soothing effect of morphine, but also demonstrates the lack of clarity it causes to an individual. The cost of morphine is a large financial burden, and without government support, it drives their monetary value to the ground.
This question is addressed in the third section of the article. For that reason, the author writes with a rhetoric of pathos to encourage the reader to persevere and also purchase Naloxone, a drug which can alter the effects of opioids in case of emergency. Since addiction is an emotional subject, this section of the article contains much pathos rhetoric
Ethos, Pathos and Logos Bernard Roth author of The Achievement Habit: Stop Wishing, Start Doing and Take Command of Your Life and professor at Stanford University taught a class in design thinking that helped students realize their potential to be the best they can be. In writing his book he makes effective use of the rhetorical triangle in appealing to the readers’ emotions, logical thinking and sense of value. In chapter one he uses each of these argumentative strategies especially effectively when he describes what it means to be successful. He begins chapter one by beginning a conversation with the reader saying, “Your Life has no meaning”.
The use of ethos, pathos, and logos is a powerful tool in persuasive speeches. Ethos refers to the credibility and trustworthiness of the speaker, pathos appeals to emotions, and logos appeals to logic and reason. In this essay, I will compare and contrast the use of ethos, pathos, and logos in two speeches: "The Gettysburg Address" by Abraham Lincoln and "Ain't I a Woman" by Sojourner Truth. Firstly, let's analyze "The Gettysburg Address.
There has been various of methods of appealing to an audience whether or not if it's trying to sell to a consumer or just wanting to get an attention to a person. This is called Ethos Pathos and Logos. Steve Job was using this type of method whether if it’s giving out a speech, coming out with a new iphone or coming out with a new computer. He would always use logos to Pathos to appeal to buyers and newcomers. Aristotle was an outstanding and a fascinating man.
The article starts off with a story of a young girl with a promising future that was escalated downward into a fatal result due to heroin. Her name was Courtney and her parents revealed her dark secret at her funeral “their bright, beautiful daughter… had overdosed at her boyfriend’s grandmother’s house.” The family of Courtney have taken many steps to raise awareness on heroin and reduce the amount of deaths and enhance the amount of treatment to help the abusers. People like her father have devoted their time to help as much as they can “I work with 100 people every day — parents, people in recovery, addicts — who are doing everything we can to save these
In his article, “Toward a Policy on Drugs,” Elliot Currie discusses “the magnitude and severity of our drug crisis” (para. 21), and how “no other country has anything resembling the American drug problem” (para. 21). The best way to describe America’s drug problem is that it is a hole continuously digs itself deeper. America’s drug issues were likely comparable to other country’s at one point in time, but today it can be blamed on the “street cultures” (para. 21) that continue to use and spread the use of illegal drugs. These street cultures transcend the common stereotype of drug users, such as low income communities in cities or welfare recipients, and can be found in every economic class and location. They are groups of people who have
