The structure of a great argument has been passed down through the ages with an Aristotle. That structure remains valid for multibillion or trillion-dollar businesses even today, as they peddle their goods and services. It is a valuable skill to convince and persuade the audience, and this is possible through Aristotle’s three modes of persuasion: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos.
Ethos is about establishing authority to speak on a subject, logos is a logical argument for a point, and pathos is the attempt to convince an audience emotionally. Ethos appeals to the status and authority of speaker, making the audience trust. Pathos appeals to the emotions, making the audience feel angry or sympathetic and Logos appeals to the audience’s reason, building up logical arguments. Collectively, the three appeals are called the rhetorical triangle and they are central to rhetorical analysis.

ROLE OF ETHOS, PATHOS, AND LOGOS IN EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
Ethos, pathos and logos are modes of persuasion used to convince and appeal to the audience. Ethos is a Greek term for the word “character”, and the word “ethic” is derived from ethos. The word is used to convince the audience that you have good character and you are credible and trustworthy. Ethos will make the audience concentrate and listen. The audience will assume that you will share something useful and help you get respect as the audience is more likely to be persuaded.
Pathos is a Greek term used for the word suffering and experience. Empathy, sympathy and pathetic have been derived from pathos. It persuades the audience by feeling their emotions. It helps the speaker make the audience feel the same emotions about something and emotionally connect and influence them. If the pathos is low, then the audience is likely to find flaws in your arguments. Emotions are great motivators, so the audience can be easily persuaded by using pathos. Pathos will increase the chances of your audience understanding your point of view, accept your arguments and acting on your requests or appeals.
Logos is a Greek term used for the word “logic”. It is known as “the appeal to reason” and involves using facts and logical reasoning to support an argument and to persuade the audience. Logos also develops ethos if the information is knowledgeable. The speaker must make sure that their points and arguments can be understood. It should also ensure that the arguments are meaningful and the claims and evidence are not implausible
