Today I watched a speech from TED website , there was a speaker talking about phones and some tips to cell somebody or get some information , the whole speech was clear and funny.
According to that speech , the speaker was using ethos through the speech , he gave audiences many videos to support his point. For example , he found people still on phone call when they are moving from Wi-Fi to cellular tower , the phone in that video which just changed to cellular tower in mid-call. That video was really authoritative, because that was really event happened in his video , it was a good way to make more sense for what was he trying to explain or support. Not only many videos were help him , but also some example by using pathos. There is one example gave me a deep impression , it was a scene about people leave a message to somebody , but that person needs to listen 15 seconds of instruction, then he really made that conversation between him and the talker from phone. That made everybody feel as same as when we got leave message , that was really annoying , so that conversation which he made can appeal same feeling of audiences , that was pathos , it can make people to trust speaker. Another example used pathos was about help people to save money and introduce internet , he said how college students and international students communicate with their families , the international fees are expensive , so they used Skype , then they can get free phone call at anywhere in the world , I am an international student , and I do use that way , so it made me trust him because that pathos can enhance emotion and appeal my feeling. That was very reasonable and logical , because the examples that he used are very familiar in our life.
Now I do want to use the way which he introduced to audiences to use my phone.

I agree which your opinion which the examples are familiar in our life. I feel the same way as you do. And he used a lot of pathos in his video.
ReplyDeleteYou gave lots of evidences to prove that the speak make you trust him, and that makes me trust him, too. Those examples can enhance emotion and appeal our feelings. It's true that Skype this kind of thing helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteTotally, I want to save money as well. Good job, Hill! Your description inspired me a lot. So I will watch this video after final week. Pathos are always useful.
ReplyDeleteGood job on seeing his use of ethos and looking at his logic.
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job with noticing how ethos was used.
