Ethos, Pathos, Logos

Ethos - the credibility, or convincing someone that the source you are using is credible with your argument.

1. I will use ethos in my paper by using a source from the Census Bureau of the United States.
2. I will use ethos in my paper by sharing the authors of  my sources, and using scholarly journals.
3. I will use ethos in my paper by citing my sources on a works cited page at the end.  

Pathos  - The thing that evokes emotion from an argument

1. I will use pathos in my paper by sharing an experience of my friend about divorce in her family.
2. I will use pathos in my paper by creating images in peoples minds about the effect divorce can have on children of divorced parents.
3. I will use pathos in my paper by sharing stories about what could happen eventually if people don't get married, don't have children, and get divorced.

Logos - Facts, proof, reason, logical

1. I will use logos in my paper by providing facts accumulated from the census Bureau about marriage, divorce, and children.
2. I will use logos in my paper by showing what could logically happen if divorce rates increase, people get married later, people stop having kids, and people stop getting married.
3. I will use logos in my paper by using inductive and deductive reasoning.
