ABSTRACT

This paper is to take a look at effects that pathos has on writing and speaking. Goal of writing and speaking is persuasion. Aristotle says the basis to achieve persuasion as logos, ethos, and pathos. Although we only have the factor of logos, it is perhaps possible to achieve persuasion through an argument. In fact, there are not lots of cases to achieve persuasion only with logos. If logos is the main factor in argument, as there is additive ethos and pathos, it comes to be easy to receive argument. Modern times is when the factor of pathos than that of logos has more effect on people. For they are affected more by emotional factor than by strict argument. A person acts differently when he or she is pleasure and sad. If pathos has an effect on judgment, a person changes his or her mind, judges, and acts according to the tendency of his or her pleasure and sad. I had thus start this paper from a study on nature of pathos. I had investigate what the concept of pathos is, and through what course pathos has an effect on argument. And I’ll study effects pathos has on writing and speaking which are the most important methods in person’s communication. Consequently I’ll reveal how persuasion can be heightened through a study on the understand of pathos and effects pathos has on.
