I never thought of that connection, but I definitely was taken aback during our debate when certain people became extremely passionate when trying to prove their case with examples.<br /><br />I also saw how a sortof "fake" ethos can also damage a case.

Pathos is usually what the stronger case will use for they already agree with the argument and assume that the majority of the audience does too. But this is not a guarantee win, for if the weaker side can damage the stronger side enough, the jury will forget what the argument is about and pick the side whose words or members they like best. If I had it to do again I would try and use more ethos in my rebuttal. Thats my take<br />Chris Woodcdubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829220976814060080noreply@blogger.com
