Everyone Has Sin

I heard rhetoric was used in a sermon , it was very useful to persuade people to agree their opinion.

First of the sermon , there was a speaker talking about mid-autumn , because that time was in mid-autumn , and that festival is very important festival for Chinese , because have many great meaning and story about mid-autumn, so he used ethos to start. then , he described a scene that was a good weather , so they can see the moon very clearly , people think a family should stay together on that day , it means the family can together forever and hope everyone will be better , it was ethos and pathos , everybody trust this implied meaning ,and it appeal people emotion , because everybody love their family, so it was credible and authentic. after that , he mentioned moon again , he said :"although people are not together , but the moon people watched is same one , their hearts are together." I am a international students , it made me really miss home , I can feel that big different between at home and in other country , so it was pathos. all of that were reason he wanted to prove , people should worship God , because God can give us good weather , so we can appreciate the beautiful moon.

Then he read the Roman book for audiences , it was authority , so that was ethos , it can enhance the emotion and explain his point more powerfully. then , he gave a example that was some people fear about aids , and it is hard to heal , so many people fear to have sex with prostitute , but some people still do it . although these two kinds of people did different , but their ideas were same . he used this example to prove everybody have sin , just because some people don't have chance or fear to commit , but they want . so their ideas were same , so they are same , everybody have sin . this example used logos , he used a reason to support his opinion , it was logical.

He used a lot of ethos pathos and logos in sermon , it was very logical and convincing .

Open Happiness

While at the movie theaters to see The Maze Runner , I saw a commercial that featured rhetoric. The commercial begins with a young woman named Jess purchasing two Coca Cola drinks in a convenience store. One has her own name on it, and one has the name of her friend Alisha on it. The cashier watches her forlornly as she leaves, hinting that he has a crush on his customer. Jess gives the Coke with Alisha’s name on it to her friend, and together the two friends drink them. Later, Jess, Alisha and two other friends come back into the store to buy more Coke, then leave and have a good time together. Jess keeps coming back to the store with more and more friends, each time purchasing Coca Cola with their names printed on the labels. The cashier smiles and watches, but it is clear that he wishes he was with Jess.  Finally, as the cashier is closing the store for the night, Jess shows up at the door with a Coke that has the name Chris on it. She smiles and hands the drink to the ...

Marilyn Monroe's Shampoo

While browsing on Google I found an old advertisement.  The ad was for Lustre-Crème Shampoo. It featured Marilyn Monroe, known for her beauteous looks and her parts in different movies. One of her movies was Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Lustre-Crème was attempting to sell their shampoo through the use of fallacies. By saying that Marilyn Monroe that tells you nothing about the actual product: it simply attracts you to the pretty face in the picture. Using this as an argument of why someone should buy your product is quite illogical. Just because Marilyn Monroe uses it doesn’t provide assurance of its abilities. They attempt using snob appeal by trying to make the audience believe that they could be like Marilyn Monroe if they use the same product as her. They use appeal to illegitimate authority by using Marilyn Monroe to promote their product. Although she herself is a customer, this is still rather irrelevant. She herself has no type of expertise in hair products and knows nothing t...

Is Hip Hop a Cancer or a Cure?

The speech I watched was a Ted Talk presented by one of my favorite music artists, who just so happens to be a Christian rapper.  This rapper’s name is Lecrae Moore, but he just goes by Lecrae.  Over the past five years or so, Lecrae has been able to break out of the small box that Christian music and Christian rap have been put in, and he has been able to get his music out to all types of crowds.  So I was actually pretty excited when I saw that he had spoken at a Ted Talk in Nashville.  The speech he delivered was titled, “Heroes and Villains: Is Hip-Hop a Cancer or a Cure?”  In this speech Lecrae talked about how it is easy to look at certain people in history and label them as heroes or villains, but he talks about how not everyone views historical figures the same.  Lecrae started off by defining where we get the words, “Hero” and “Villain”.  Knowing the origin of these words really gave good context for what came to follow.  He then went o...
