FOUR RHETORICAL APPEALS

  1. Ethos
  2. Pathos
  3. Logos
  4. Kairos

WHAT THEY APPEAL TO

  1. Ethos: credibility
  2. Pathos: emotions
  3. Logos: facts, statistics, etc
  4. Kairos: timeliness of an argument, message, etc

The appeal I feel I witness the most in my everyday life is pathos. I also witness logos a lot, but out of the two, I witness pathos the most.
