Rhetoric is the art of being persuasive. To effectively practice it, one must utilize logos (logic, or the facts used to support one's argument), pathos (increasing persuasiveness via emotional appeal), and ethos (convincing your audience of your reliability). Selecting how and when to use these elements is essential to the success found in presenting your argument.
Throughout the past year, I have studied this process and attempted to implement it into my work. On this site, you'll find example of my usage of rhetoric in a variety of mediums: essays, multimedia presentations, and blogging. No matter what the format of the argument is, utilizing these rhetorical elements and others is necessary for creating the best argument possible, and thus, I have attempted to grow my skill in using them through these projects and others.
Regardless of what your major is, being able to form the most convincing argument possible is an incredibly valuable skill. It certainly applies in the areas that I study, and is thus an ability that I feel is very important to continue developing.
