CMST 2060 : Final Exam CMST 2060
Document Summary
Final exam: ethos, pathos, and logos are all important aspects in public speaking. Ethos represents your credibility to the topic you are speaking about, pathos represents your emotional connections or feelings to the topic, and logos represents the logical argument. All three of these rhetoric appeals complement each other and are essential to create an effective speech. Without the credibility of ethos, your argument will be questioned and your audience will doubt your points. Similarly, without pathos to give an emotional connection to the audience, you lose the interest of your audience and your logos is questioned. A rhetoric uses all of these appeals to make a single point, first by establishing their credibility it earns the trust and attention of their audience. Then by establishing an emotional connection through the audiences" values and morals, pathos grabs the attention of the audience.
