Ethos, Pathos, Logos

My last blog post was about how marriage is stressed too much in the BYU environment.

Ethos: An example of using ethos in this argument is that I am a BYU student and have experienced this environment. I shared my own personal experience with new student orientation and how they were stressing meeting other people, specifically people of the opposite gender.

Pathos: I tried to appeal to the emotions of other people by sharing my feelings when people were taking bets then explaining why I feel this way.

Logos: You might be a little more convinced if I had looked up the exact number of people that meet and get married at BYU compared to any other university. I had just used an estimate to get my point across.
