Answer 23

An argument that explains how everyone wants safe environments for children is using

dilemma
pathos
logos
ethos

Answer 24

dilemma: a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones.

Answer 25

What are the other three definitions?

Answer 26

pathos: a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones.

Ethos (Credibility), or ethical appeal, means convincing by the character of the author. We tend to believe people whom we respect. One of the central problems of argumentation is to project an impression to the reader that you are someone worth listening to, in other words making yourself as author into an authority on the subject of the paper, as well as someone who is likable and worthy of respect.

Logos (Logical) means persuading by the use of reasoning. This will be the most important technique we will study, and Aristotle's favorite. We'll look at deductive and inductive reasoning, and discuss what makes an effective, persuasive reason to back up your claims. Giving reasons is the heart of argumentation, and cannot be emphasized enough. We'll study the types of support you can use to substantiate your thesis, and look at some of the common logical fallacies, in order to avoid them in your writing.

Answer 27

i think its pathos..what do you think?

Answer 28

I am thinking it could possibly be ethos. The reason why is because everyone wanting a safe environment for children is a belief that everyone shares. It says it in the sentence even "everyone"

ethos=the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its beliefs and aspirations.

Answer 29

It states something everyone wants, it's not exactly emotional nor a situation.

Answer 30

ohhh i get yeah... i agree with you!

Answer 31

I totally see why you'd think it would be pathos. It could be easily seen as an emotional context but it's more of a statement of belief than emotion.

Answer 32

thank you sooo much! you seriously helped me immensely! :)

Answer 33
