So our latest assignment for project two was to post a message indicating where ethos, logos, and pathos is present in our research papers. After re-reading my paper several times, I found the following...
1. Ethos- My paper uses ethos every time I support my claims with material that comes from credible sources. For example, my information comes from such reliable sources as Newsweek and Jet magazines. I also quote clinical psychologists and judges who practice family law, which also gives my paper an ethos feel.
2. Logos- For the most part, my entire research paper is logos-based. It definitely appeals to the reason of those who are reading it. My evidence for why the married couple family is becoming extinct appeals to the logic of my audience.
3. Pathos- Pathos is lacking from my paper. A trace of it can be found in the introductory paragraph as I try to emotionally connect my audience to the topic by relating it to them. I also attempt to alarm my audience of society's unfortunate attitude towards marriage throughout my paper by utilizing disturbing facts.
