Journal 46: Your Argument

How would I characterize my persuasive argument? There are three ways to characterize it, which are emotional, logical, and ethnical appeals. Logical appeal is the strategic use of logic, claims, and evidence to convince an audience of a certain point. Emotional appeals target the emotions of the reader to create some kind of connection with the writer. Ethical appeal is used to establish the writer as fair, open-minded, honest, and knowledgeable about the subject matter. Since my topic is media violence has a negative impact on society, I think my arguments are actually balance in three major ways. The reason is that some of my examples are related to these appeals. For instance, there’s an example that occurs the statistics and data research of the professor in the university. So, this example will probably connected to the logical appeal. In addition, if I put an example of the influence of the media violence on the children’s characteristics build. Then, this example will probably related to the ethnical appeal. Yet, I believe there is one subject about the argument that lead to ethnical appeal. Since my topic is a well researched event. There are a lot of resources in different media that related to this topic.
