In these scenarios, the emotional appeals include joy and fulfillment, camaraderie and friendship, and satisfaction with values alignment, respectively.

Pathos, an appeal to emotions, is effectively employed in the provided examples:

"Don't be the last person to get one. You don't want to be the laughing stock of your school."

Emotional Appeal: Pride and fear of social embarrassment.

"If you don't purchase this life insurance, and something happens to you, how will your family survive?"

Emotional Appeal: Fear and concern for family well-being.

"We have been mistreated, abused and oppressed. They have benefited from our suffering and we must act now."

Emotional Appeal: Anger, injustice, and a call to action.

"We live in a great democracy. So donate now and support the troops who are protecting our freedom."

Emotional Appeal: Patriotism, pride, and the desire to support national defense.

"Just eat and don't complain. Children in Africa are starving and would give anything to have that plate of food."

Emotional Appeal: Guilt and empathy by contrasting personal abundance with global hunger.

"Caring for the environment may not change your life, but it will change the lives of your children."
