End - of - year review #2

• Like most people, I enjoy the feeling of buying a new gadget, but it turns out that the happiness that we get from a new purchase doesn't last long.

• People need only consider the pain and suffering of animals who die every day from eating or becoming trapped by plastic waste to understand why plastic bottles should be banned.

Which statement primarily appeals to ethos to support the position that people should take more preventative measures to protect themselves from identity theft?
