For my third essay, I will be using the first prompt. This prompt appeals to me more in the sense that, I found that in watch the political debates, there were many uses of logical fallacies, as well as the candidates using pathos, ethos and logos to better reach out to the viewers. Having previously watched some of the debates, I feel that it will be easier to view them again to pick up on what fallacies are used, because I know in advance what some of the responses will be.
In my essay, I will be discussing different sides of the rhetoric used, and which side is more informable over the other. I will be using both chapters four and five from Jacoby's book, as well as the political debates to help support my findings that I will be including in my essay. Any of the logical fallacies that I mention, and/or any use of pathos, ethos and/or logos, will include a defintion so that any reader can better follow and understand what I am saying, and how each of those terms is used.
