Rhetoric

Rhetoric, to me, is the words someone uses to convince or persuade another person to agree with their view or to influence another person to do something. Everyone uses rhetoric. Since this is an election year, ethos, pathos and logos are prevalent in rhetoric. Politicians employee rhetoric to convince voters to vote for “me” using emotion and logic. A person is exposed to rhetoric everyday. It can be seen on television or through casual conversations.
