In a news story presented by the online version of NBC news, a major American network, an article about #BlackLivesMatter includes photographic imagery of a large social protest that took place in 2013. The protest followed in the wake of George Zimmerman being found not guilty on charges of second-degree murder of an unarmed black man—an event that showcased the extent to which even the law fails to protect the lives of innocent people of color. In one photographic image used in this news story, the photographer captures a significant moment in the protest in which five individuals together hold up a large banner that has written on it nothing but the hastag and name of the organization #BlackLivesMatter. The background of the banner is black and white stripes, which is symbolic and reflects the interracial harmony intended by both the organization and the photographer who captured the image. This image shows how the organization #BlackLivesMatter uses the logos of digital media and the pathos of the civil rights movement to promote an ethos of collective social responsibility and social justice.Images like the one on NBC’s website help to construct the identity of the #BlackLivesMatter movement as one that is harmonious and consistent with the egalitarian ideals...
The appeal to logos is evident both in the textual elements of the image, which contains simply the hashtag name of the organization. In fact, #BlackLivesMatter carefully chooses its name to underscore three critical elements of the civil rights campaign. First, the movement stresses the identities and lived experiences of African Americans and indeed all non-whites in America. The experience of institutionalized racism does persist in America, evidenced by high profile cases like the Trayvon Martin shooting. Second, the slogan’s use of the word “lives” stresses the existential issues at stake: black lives are literally being lost in a discriminatory social, legal and political landscape. Finally, the word “matter” calls attention to the meaningfulness of the movement but more significantly of the ways black and white lives have historically been valued differently in America—a vestige of slavery and Jim Crow.
Drawing attention to the emotional content of the movement, the image also depicts the people holding the banner with passionate faces, and one has his fist in the air. Moreover, the photographer makes sure to capture the emotionality of the civil rights movement in general through the depiction…
Specifically, both the literal meaning of the sentiment "You mean more to me than anything else in the world" and also the actual purpose of a life insurance policy itself demonstrates love for the beneficiary. Finally, in this case, the Pathos approach is perfectly consistent with the Logos approach; in fact, it is arguable that it is only the logical implications and concepts that give rise to any reason
Movie Trailer: Ethos, Pathos, & Logos The trailer for the movie Prisoners effectively uses ethos, pathos, and logos to appeal to its potential audience.

In the cover photo, Oogy seems to be looking directly at the viewer. His gaze is strong yet steady and calm. One expects a pit bull to look threatening, but with Oogy's missing ear and crooked mouth, he does not look threatening at all. His direct gaze immediately engages the viewer and invites empathy. Our response is a purely emotional one. The cover photograph is hard to look at because
Visual Analysis In the text, Blair asserts that rhetoric and argument have been conventionally linked to the verbal. In turn, he purposes to consider whether visuals can be arguments. An argument in this context encompasses the reasons for accepting a particular point of view. He elucidates the erudition that indicates that arguments are not just verbal in the same ways to the arguments made by Birdsell and Groarke. Despite this, Blair
