1. Describe and give examples of ethos, pathos and logos.
1) Ethos: a certain attitude and idea which is associated with a particular
society or a culture. They are beliefs that are set by a particular group about
social behaviour and perception.
Examples: The ethos of the political party is firm enough to be threatened by
new developments.
2) Pathos: a term in literature that is described as the power to perform or
describe in a way to influence certain feelings in a stronger manner. It is
mostly connected to pity and sympathy.
Examples: The pathos of dictators is strong enough influence public on their
notes.
3) Logos: it is the convincing quality of a speaker with the help of logic and
reason. Like pathos, logos do not use emotion, but credibility of arguments.
Examples: The influential speaker is good with his logos and attracts so
much public to his shows.

empirical evidence. It is based on the way a human perceives through the
senses.

knowledge and intuitive things can be taken for justification and proof.
