Choose the three methods of persuasion that are used in this passage:

This year, in the coming election, don't let the anger of the masses get to you; don't let the cruelty of social media wound you for your voting choices, for you exercising your rights. Do the opposite of what those people are doing: be kind, be peaceful, and be civil toward your fellow man. Don't be like those in the news in 2020, displaying poor attitudes or protesting and missing work. Be an informed voter. Be kind. Be yourself.

• example, charged language, appeal to emotion

Which is an example of appeal to logic?

(Read closely- just because it says 'logically', doesn't mean it's actually logical.)

• Observing that the government has authority over people's self image, and logically, that should show people how to improve their lives.

• Reminding people that they have the power to help others, and logically, that kind of blessing to be able to help others will be rewarded with civic duty and and an honorable population.

• Seeing that people are only capable of what society tells them they're capable of, so logically, if they're told they're capable of having some rights, they'll be satisfied and not want more than that.

• Knowing that people believe what others think/believe about them, so logically, if people tell others that they're worthy of having certain rights, they'll live their lives worthy of those rights.

How do you know if an appeal to logic works (most of the time)?

• It acknowledges criticism and proposes an alternative solution, rather than standing withe the original point.

• A basic truth is stated with an explanation as to why that does not affect the logic of the situation/scenario (sort of like a rebuttal/ counterargument)

• Criticism is dismissed entirely as presenting an 'unlikely scenario'

• It alludes to a common myth society may have and it is discussed how logic reveals the truth and should be the only reasoning needed
