Ethos: Personal credibility.
We can establish our credibility with good character, expertise, credentials, and qualifications. Ideally, the speaker is a living example of what he or she is speaking about.

Pathos: Appeals to the audience's emotion.
We can appeal to our audience's emotions through vivid language, metaphors, stories, and real-life examples.

Logos: A sound argument supported by evidence
We can build a sound argument through high-quality research of facts and statistics and maintain a tight or close relationship between our claim and the evidence we use to support that claim.

In Aristotle's Rhetoric book, he discusses these three terms to describe the three primary ways or persuasive appeals or devices we can use to reach audiences and be persuasive. Rhetoric, as an area of study, is the earliest systematic study of communication and public speaking and presentation skills.

Rhetoric = 3 things = 1. Ethos (authenticity) + Pathos (emotion) + Logos (Logic), authenticity = say the truth, emotion = say story, Logic = say research, good video Alex

Thanks a lot
I learnt that ETHOS, PATHOS AND LOGOS : are three principles to persuade and convince listeners, as well as to influence others .
Ethos :refers to personal credibility as speaker, as a speaker u should establish yourself as a credible and trustworthy speaker.
Pathos: refers to emotional proofs or reasons to believe in something...as a speaker u should use stories, vivid language to influence them by feelings, passions and personal values ....
Logos: is a rational and logical proofs, serve to provide clear and logical reasoning to support your arguments....

As a person who struggles to get their point across, I genuinely feel like this video was a great description of how to invoke these three rhetorical devices into essay writing and public speaking. I hope to excel at my current English 3 class (critical thinking and argumentative writing). Thank you for this short but effective way of explaining ethos, pathos and logos.

[doopmeister]

I love the incorporation of these philosophical principles. Learned about and used it first for persuasive essays and now im just loving how it parallels into public speaking!

[yuguitar]

Thanks. My manager brought up these concepts to me and I was a bit skeptical about them at first. After watching your video and examples, I am now fully convinced on how essential these elements are.

[matteusbutler]

Recall from the video, Alex.
Aristotle said 3 things about presentation and communication. Ethos, Pathos and Logos.
Ethos = your credibility as a speaker, why should people listen to you!
Pathos = touching listeners' heart, by telling stories.
Logos = evidence, you show this by telling facts, research etc.

Thank you, searched and found your channel. This means so much, I’m a new Life insurance agent and finding that my ethos and logos marketing and advertising only are missing the mark, but included with pathos, which is the only way, sadly, I came to see the importance of what I promote and how I can engage people. Regards!

[faustin]

This video presents this concept in the most succinct way I ever seen. Kudos

[victoriaalvin]

After going through rereading my topic and rereading my notes, this video has been the best understandable teaching I was able to comprehend. Thank you! Now I don't feel so anxious about getting a better grade on my next assignment this coming week..
