The topos is a general instruction from which several arguments can be derived. They help direct the flow of a negotiation and also the audience’s understanding of the speaker and their point of view. It is crucial to understand argumentation.
Topoi in the Rhetoric contain instructions for arguments not of a certain form, but with a certain predicate. Every specific topos gives us a general (but not formal) description of things that are supposed to be good, noble, just, etc. It also gives us a reason enabling us to argue that the things described are good, noble, just, etc.
Typically, topoi refer the given description back to a generally held definition of what is good, noble, just, etc., for the objective of the negotiation.
Example: The specific topos is: “What is pleasant is good, since it is desirable.” The phrase “what is pleasant” provides the general description, the phrase “since it is desirable” provides the reason. Now, at the beginning of the chapter the good has been defined as “what is desirable”. Another specific topos is “honour is good, since it is pleasant”; here the reason in question applies the previous topos that what is pleasant is good, so that the current topos is indirectly linked with the initial definition of what is good. The general description included in those Topoi enables us

Whereas the one refers to the public image of someone, which may be produced by sheer advertising, the other is concerned with verifying whether such an image cones ponds to the truth. Reputation feeds on subjective impressions and gossip, whereas for refutation only the facts and solid arguments

The use of the concepts cannot rely solely on the words, expressions and physical gestures also work. The use of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos in a speech helps bring emphasize on certain topics. It makes the audience internalize and think through some of the ideas and issues talked.

Reputation is important to many people in the world, but if they value it over anything else it can actually cause more harm than good. By valuing reputation over anything else it can lead people to do things that aren’t what they should actually do, like lie to people, accuse people to preserve their own reputation and can lead to the person getting in more trouble than getting them out of
Rhetorical Analysis: “Why McDonald’s Fries Taste So Good” When it comes to writing, the hardest part is getting the audience interested in what you have to say. Four techniques writers use to attract readers are the use of ethos, logos, pathos and Kairos in their text. Ethos is a method used to gain trust in the author. Logos uses facts and statistics to add credibility to the author. Pathos is used in stories or experiences to connect the readers emotionally to the text.
There are three types of rhetorical appeals. These strategies are ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos is the Greek term for “ethics.” However, it has been prospected as the credibility of the individual during the communication process. Ethos can be achieved through status, professionalism, researches, and many other ways.
In President Bush’s address to the nation, he uses many rhetorical devices. A rhetorical device is a literary device that is used to persuade the audience to support the argument made.

Everyone has made an argument. It could be as little as argueing so you can to your friend’s house to as big as why you should be president. Whenever you make an argument you’re trying to persuade the person to listen to you. The points you make are ethos (appeals to credibility), logos (logic), or pathos (emotion). You do it without knowing.
The relationships between the elements of the rhetorical triangle are crucial to forming an effective argument. If the rhetor understands these relationships and masterfully ties their text to other texts, their audience makes connections between them. The elements of one text can fuel the argument of the other. The rhetor is more likely to persuade their audience if they implement this strategy, and the more connections the audience makes between texts, the more successful the argument will be. This can be demonstrated using the order of an episode of a TV show and a commercial: the audience links the purpose of the episode to the commercial, which in turn develops its argument.
Reputation is the beliefs or opinions that are generally held about someone or something. Reputation can directly correlate with pride, which is a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one 's own achievements. Reputations are very important to the characters in The Crucible and if they want to preserve their reputation, through pride, they do whatever is necessary to keep it. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the characters John Proctor, Abigail Williams, and Judge Danforth all show dramatic actions to preserve their reputations, each of these characters either hurt themselves or others by being prideful and dishonest for the sake of their good name. There are several ways that Abigail Williams shows her objective of preserving her reputation in the book.

If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.” A reputation is one of the most important things a person has. It measures one’s worth, honor, and integrity - something we all strive for.
Rhetoric is a way of speaking in a persuasive way to create an impact on the audience or have them think the same way as the speaker. The three main strategies of rhetoric speech is ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos meaning the speaker is dwelling upon themselves, pathos meaning the speaker is using imagination to create emotion, and logos meaning facts and logic is used by the speaker to persuade the audience. Socrates used logos in a way that helped him exhibit an effective speech to prove which type of knowledge is worth knowing. In spite of this claim, Socrates was truly only showing the court that he really did not know much more than his name.
Ethos, pathos and logos are the three rhetorical appeals that I use everyday. I used it in many discussions with my mom, arguments with my siblings, or just simply as asking my friend to go out at night. Since the used of it is not mentioned frequently, people often don’t know the meaning of tools and whether they had used it or not. Rhetorical tools are used in an argument, especially when you try to persuade someone with the opposite view or someone who is still shilly-shally about the issue. After the first journal I wrote, I had discover more about how to use those tools and how to evaluate it.
