In a formal discussion on a particular topic in a public meeting or legislative assembly, in which opposing arguments are put forward, a debate is formed. One debate, the Presidential Debate, is focusing on one question what makes a good president? The two candidates, one of which will soon be the President, uses a mix of eye contact and physical movement to get the audience's attention and show what they mean and what they are feeling they also use things like pathos, ethos, logos, the rhetorical analysis and fallacies to help support their debate. In the Presidential Debate, both candidates use rhetorical analysis, such as ethos (Credibility) in their responses to the questions that they were given by the audience. When being used, the candidates were mostly attacking each others ethos. For example, when Clinton said, “when I …show more content…
But when doing this he was only focusing on some specific things about a certain health care system. Trump had said “Obamacare where your health insurance and health care is going up by numbers that are astronomical: 68%, 59%, 71%”(CBSNewsOnline). When Trump said this it can put in as a fallacy of cherry picking because Trump is focusing only on the negatives of Obamacare he is just pinpointing one thing about it while Clinton comes back and says all the other things that are good. This part of the debate as Trump is using numbers from ObamaCare, he is using logos, Trump is bringing in logic to his side of the argument. Trying to show how bad the ObamaCare system by saying how the health care system has gone up tremendously, he is showing how, one he does not like Obamacare and two how for those who can’t afford it should vote for him to be president because he would fix it. When Trump says this he is getting on the side of people who now cannot afford a quality health care plan because they are too
The Affordable Heatlhcare Act’s ideal change should be to a privately owned system giving the people more control over our own health care. Ted Cruz made the statement that Obamacare, which got us into
Presidential candidates should answer how they truly feel and what they know about a topic instead of dodging or attacking the question like an ex-girlfriend. We Americans put our faith in the president to keep the country flourishing, safe, and great. In this democratic debate, Hillary Clinton used the red herring fallacy and the ad hominem fallacy. In the end, everyone can see right through her answers. All that people have to do is pay attention to how she answered these questions and they would be able to understand they are
Another instance of pathos involves the father persona that Obama exhibits in his speech. He connects with the audience on an emotional level as he talks about parenthood and all of the duties that parents have in caring for their children. He also talks about the duty that parents have to protect and care for their children. This is intending to draw emotion from the parents in the audience as they imagine their own child. Obama then states that we cannot keep them safe without the help of others.
President Trump established ethos by using first and second point of view. This helps him achieve his purpose of convincing to the nation that him being the president is what is best for the country. He uses personal pronouns "you", "our", "we", and "I" to appeal to the listener, so that they feel included in fight to join both sides of congress to help better America. He states, “Tonight, I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people...” (Trump).
In our unit Rhetoric and Politics, we learned about ethos, pathos, and logos. We also learned about logical fallacies and political platforms. It was very interesting to learn about and now I see these devices all the time when looking at advertisements. In order to learn about advertisements we got to watch a lot of video advertisements. After watching and breaking down advertisements and the specific thoughts, mechanics, and fallacies advertisers use to motivate us to buy products, we got to make our own video.
In order to do this, Regan used rhetorical appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos in order to lift Barry Goldwater in a position where the public would want to donate and support his campaign. An effective tool Regan uses to sell his ability is his ethos appeal. It is clear that a main goal of his speech is to portray good character. “Should the patriots at concord bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard round the world?”
Defeat “Defeat” is the word that rings in the heads of those people involved in the Bombing of Pearl Harbor written in the book “The USS Arizona: The Ship, the Men, the Pearl Harbor Attack, and the Symbol That Aroused America” by Joy Waldron Jasper and James P. Delgado. Throughout the book, the writers complement the credibility of the information by taking into consideration it is actual accounts and makes emotional connections with the readers as they talk about the tragedies that the men encountered and the amount of people who fought for the country and died. Lastly, the writers display their emotions by realizing the United States was just attacked and nothing is ever going to be the same again. George W. Bush, a famous president, in his famous speech on September 11th, 2001, also deals with
One of the best ways a speaker can use to communicate his or her message is by using rhetorical appeals, President Roosevelt used pathos to be successful with his purpose. He used pathos because he wanted to make his audience get emotional to the event that had just happened, therefore his audience would listen carefully to understand the message that President Roosevelt was about to communicate. For example, president Roosevelt said, “The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost”. Based on this evidence, President Roosevelt intentions on including this not only had the purpose of informing his audience about the pass event, the attack by
In the 1960s the African Americans were freed, but did they really have all the rights they were promised? Racial conflicts were everywhere. Lyndon B. Johnson was current president and was trying to encourage congress to pass a bill called The Voting Rights Act. To influence the vote he gave the speech “We Shall Overcome.” In “We Shall Overcome” President Lyndon Johnson used ethos, pathos, logos, and other rhetorical devices such as allusions, repetition and appeals to authority to persuade congress to pass the act.
So the big question remains, do the costs outweigh the benefits? While there are those who will still disagree, new study finds that the costs of complying with the President 's signature healthcare law far outweigh the coverage benefits it
As President Kennedy enters office he gives an speech on the celebration of freedom; symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning of a new nation. Kennedy rises for the opportunity for persuasion after his inauguration has been addressed and he scarcely beats nixon. President Kennedy uses his authority for persuasion to bring the american people together under his power. The president uses the experience of war,poverty,and the desire for peace to develop an emotional appeal between the U.S and the world population. In this speech Kennedy uses ethos,pathos,logos,as well as other rhetorical devices to convince the audience.
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.
“And I’ve talked to very prominent Democrats, very prominent Republicans.” He uses ethos in this quote when talking about politics. He uses the reputation of the republic party and the Democratic party. In this quote he is talking about how he spoke to some republicans and some democrats and how they were prominent. He used ethos successfully in this quote by mentioning both parties
When Obama was elected President of the United States, it was a historic day in this country. As the first African-American president, Obama was breaking boundaries. During this time, there were many ads being broadcasted. Some that will attack the opponent, and some that are just purely to show a more personal side to the candidates. One ad that I saw that stuck out to me was the 2008 ad featuring Barack Obama.
How a candidate addresses an issue can either benefit them in positive manner or tear them down in tremendously, and because of that the candidate has to always answer the question with some sort of strategy. When in debate the candidate needs to not only be respectful to the other candidate to not come across negative and rude, but also the candidate need to keep in mind that it is a competition and that you want to win. Depending on the issue the way a candidate answers a question can vary from many different responses of the audience. Keeping the audience in mind the candidate wants to make sure not to offend the majority of the audience, because it may impact negatively in the voting. While watching the debate I saw that both Hillary
