1. The argument might not be taken as seriously as they might've wanted it to be.
2. When writing something for class, everything is very formal and well researched. Writing for class is very professional, academic writing, while writing to my friends tends to be more informal and comfortable.
3. Articles are either very familiar or unfamiliar with their audiences. They either know exactly who they're talking to, or they are making crazy claims that not many people would believe.

Evidence can always turn out to be wrong. Rhetorical reasoning doesn't always have a definite answer, so entire arguments can be off just because they evidence was interpreted wrong.

Logos is logic, which is the main driving force of an argument. There is scientific and rhetorical reasoning.

Emotions are natural and are expected when writing an argument.

1. Political campaigns often manipulate people into voting a certain way by making them sympathetic to a certain cause.
2. I think it's unfair to use emotions to persuade people when the argument is more personal, such as setting boundaries.
3. I make a lot of food based decisions based on my emotions which I usually regret later. Emotions usually help me when I make decisions though, because I can tend to make decisions like a robot instead of a person.
4. I do a lot, especially when writing articles. Usually for that I try to use nostalgia or tragedy, just because my articles are either emergency events or about Barbie movies.

Emotions can be used to get people to care about something they didn't care about before, such as making them sad because of a tragedy or insecure because of an advertisement.

Pathos is emotion, which greatly impacts how people receive arguments. Emotions can be used to manipulate people into doing what the writer wants them to do.

Ethos is affected by how well your audience relates to the speaker. It ties in with emotion.

1. AOC projects a very professional image a majority of the time. She is very work focused and is very public about that, and she behaves very professional.
2. I tried to, and when I did I acted more calm and collected than I usually am.
3. Yes. Usually people start to show their true selves after spending a couple of months with them, since they put too much energy into first impressions.
4. I don't think it's necessarily wrong, since professionalism is basically pretending to be something you're not. As long as people aren't malicious, I don't think it's bad.

Ethos is impacted by word choice and can be easily manipulated. Someone's ethos can be undermined by attacking them instead of their argument, which is technically a logical fallacy.

Ethos, pathos, and logos are the basis of any persuasive argument. Ethos is character, which is really important because that is the first impression anyone gets on the argument. If the source isn't credible, the whole argument is ruined.
