    How do you persuade someone to see things
  • 00:00:06
    YOUR way?
  • 00:00:08
    The Greek philosopher Aristotle had
  • 00:00:11
    some good ideas on how to persuade people.
  • 00:00:13
    Among his most powerful techniques
  • 00:00:15
    were what he called the three appeals
  • 00:00:17
    designed to ask an audience to believe his argument.
  • 00:00:21
    Aristotle called these three appeals
  • 00:00:24
    Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.
  • 00:00:26
    Ethos appeals to the audience by asking them
  • 00:00:29
    to trust the person making the argument.
  • 00:00:33
    Pathos appeals to the audience’s emotions,
  • 00:00:35
    asking them to believe because they care.
  • 00:00:39
    Logos appeals to the audience’s
  • 00:00:41
    sense of logic and rationality, asking them to believe
  • 00:00:44
    because the argument makes sense.
  • 00:00:48
    Using the appeals can make your writing
  • 00:00:50
    or speaking more persuasive.
  • 00:00:51
    And if you can spot them when they are being used
  • 00:00:53
    or misused— by others,
  • 00:00:55
    you can also protect yourself against manipulation.
  • 00:01:00
    Let’s examine the three appeals more closely.
  • 00:01:03
    First up: Ethos
  • 00:01:06
    One way to win over a skeptical audience is
  • 00:01:08
    to convince them that you’re trustworthy,
  • 00:01:10
    knowledgeable, and well meaning.
  • 00:01:13
    You can build ethos by referencing relevant experience
  • 00:01:16
    by explaining your credentials,
  • 00:01:18
    or even by using good sources
  • 00:01:20
    to show that you know your subject.
  • 00:01:22
    When presenting, dressing and speaking professionally
  • 00:01:26
    will boost your audience’s confidence in you.
  • 00:01:29
    When writing, making sure your documents
  • 00:01:31
    have a professional tone
  • 00:01:33
    and are error-free can also enhance your ethos.
  • 00:01:37
    Next, we’ll address Pathos: the appeal to emotion.
  • 00:01:41
    Many popular movies, books,
  • 00:01:43
    and songs appeal to emotion.
  • 00:01:45
    These appeals often engage positive emotions
  • 00:01:48
    like joy or hope,
  • 00:01:50
    but other times . . .
  • 00:01:55
    No,
  • 00:01:57
    no please
  • 00:01:59
    Pathos can engage negative emotions as well;
  • 00:02:02
    however, in academic writing, a simple tug on the
  • 00:02:05
    heartstrings won’t suffice.
  • 00:02:07
    To use pathos effectively,
  • 00:02:09
    incorporate vivid imagery and intentionally emotional
  • 00:02:12
    and impactful adjectives and verbs.
  • 00:02:15
    Academics can support their
  • 00:02:17
    arguments most effectively with Logos—
  • 00:02:19
    an appeal to logic and rationality—
  • 00:02:22
    by building an argument with
  • 00:02:24
    facts, figures, and well-thought out reasoning
  • 00:02:28
    By appealing to the audience with logic,
  • 00:02:30
    you draw your conclusions as rational,
  • 00:02:32
    rendering the opposition less persuasive,
  • 00:02:35
    sometimes even as “irrational.”
  • 00:02:38
    Not all conclusions are easy to prove, though,
  • 00:02:40
    and the responsibility falls on you
  • 00:02:42
    to make the case and convince the audience.
  • 00:02:46
    While many arguments rely on
  • 00:02:47
    one or two of these methods,
  • 00:02:49
    some of the most effective
  • 00:02:50
    use a combination of all three.
  • 00:02:54
    The most important aspect of persuasive writing
  • 00:02:57
    is to create a credible line of thought for
  • 00:02:59
    your message that audiences will follow;
  • 00:03:01
    if you do it carefully, they very well might
  • 00:03:03
    arrive at the same conclusion.
