Pathos is an important tool of persuasion in arguments. This mean that if we are doing a paper we can consider including pathos in it, only if you want to show some emotions. Pathos can be expressed through words and pictures. With this method we convincing people with an argument drawn out through an emotional response.
Examples of pathos that we see or hear are:
- Ads encouraging donations, show small children living in pathetic conditions or animals dying, just to evoke pity in people to urge them to donate for the cause. I know we are all familiar with this Ads, we see them every time on TV. I personally don't believe on this, yes I know it is sad, but this particular event is trying to make me feel sad and convince me to donate. So this is Pathos!!
