Openings which Capture Our Attention

• In the world of book adaptations, there are few instances when movies can truly compare to their fictional counterparts.

Global Issue 1: Lack of Citations

• Lack of citations in the text of the paper.• Sources are listed on Works Cited Page but not cited

in the paper.• Lesson Learned: Make sure to not only document

sources on the Works Cited Page but within the paper.

Global Issues: Lack of Depth of Research

• Lack of Depth of Research• Using only one source• Using only sources from company websites

Lesson Learned: • Perform in-depth research from a variety of sources.• Find current research (for example, if you are comparing

sales of two restaurants, find data that is 6 months old – not 3 years old)

• Look for specific facts, statistics, expert comments.

Ways to Make Your Argument More Powerful

What is? ETHOS, PATHOS, and LOGOS

• Ethos: the source's credibility, the speaker's/author's authority

• Logos: the logic used to support a claim (induction and deduction); can also be the facts and statistics used to help support the argument.

• Pathos: the emotional or motivational appeals; vivid language, emotional language and numerous sensory details.

Pathos

• Pathos: Emotion• To make the audience feel something about what is

presented to it• Children, animals, illness, memories, etc…• “Tugs at your heart strings”

Pathos

Logos

• Logos: Logic• To make the audience think about what is

presented to it• Statistics, facts, authorities, etc…• Very straightforward, and not “fluff”. It has a very

scientific, factual approach.

FOR EXAMPLE: Ad Analysis

• 1: Michelin Tires• Little Baby• Message: Don't skimp on

the important stuff, we need good tires our families depend on it.

• Pathos (little babies are cute and we want them to live)

• Pass out Assignment Sheet and Resources

Before we do this activity, let’s look at how authors have used ethos, pathos, logos in arguments on this issue.

Ethos, Logos, Pathos?

• In 2012, the most recent year for which we have an annual statistical report, terminally ill patients who died after ingesting medication under the Act accounted for 0.2 percent of all deaths in Oregon. The top three concerns patients expressed to their attending physicians when requesting medication under the Act reflect the patients’ desire to maintain control over their final days. Of the end-of-life concerns expressed, the least common was “financial implications of treatment.”

• Reviewing 15 years of data in the aggregate, 1,050 terminally ill patients have received prescriptions, and 673 of these patients have ingested the prescribed medications to hasten their deaths, while 377 chose not to. Over 15 years, only 2 percent of the people who used the law did not have insurance coverage. In 2012, excluding those few for which insurance status was unknown, all of the participants were covered by some form of insurance.

Pathos

Pathos:• use of horrific pictures of terminally ill

patients, these pictures appeal to pathos because this video makes those people look helpless and miserable, which isn't a life that anybody would want to live.

• bolds some words in its statements such as; pain, unbearable suffering, anguish, and no hope. All of those words are very depressing and hopeless.

74% of those respondents who claimed to belong to a religion agreed that doctors should be allowed to provide a lethal dose to a patient experiencing unbelievable suffering with no hope of recovery.

Logos

Logos• Along with pathos this Ad appeals to the

use of logos when it says "we can choose so many of our life experiences, but it seems we can have no say in whether we die in pain or at peace."

• This statement appeals to logos because something as huge and personal as death seems most logical for us as American citizens to have the right to choose how we want to end our life but it doesn't seem to be so simple.

74% of those respondents who claimed to belong to a religion agreed that doctors should be allowed to provide a lethal dose to a patient experiencing unbelievable suffering with no hope of recovery.

Logos, Ethos, Pathos?

Pathos

Appeals to pathos because viewers get to first handedly see the struggles and pain that Brittany has had to go through to ensure that she wouldn't have to die a painful and an uncontrollable death. By getting to see and hear what Brittany has had to go through the audience of people watching this video feel pain and sorrow in the situation

Logos

The Vatican also felt obligated to sternly lecture everyone about Maynard’s self-directed death, calling it “an absurdity” and “reprehensible.” Monsignor Ignacio Carrasco de Paula,

“Suicide is not a good thing. It is a bad thing because it is saying no to life and to everything it means with respect to our mission in the world and toward those around us.”

In-Text Citation

According to Nat Hentoff, if a patient desired to end his or her life, two doctors would first have to conclude that the patient had less than six months to live (As many doctors will attest this sort of prediction can be alarmingly imprecise.) The two doctors, by the way, could include anyone with a medical degree who was licensed in California – a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon.

In “Death with Dignity Act Pros and Cons,” the author states that one of the cons of euthanasia is that “family members may take unjustified disadvantage when mercy killing was legalized through influencing the decision of the patient into it just for their own gains. In addition, there will be no way to guarantee whether the decision of assisted suicide is really voluntary or insisted by others.”

One of the cons of euthanasia is that “family members may take unjustified disadvantage when mercy killing was legalized through influencing the decision of the patient into it just for their own gains.
