Does context affect ethos? Explain how it does or does not, then give an example (from your own knowledge, a hypothetical, or an example from the book or from history) to illuminate your answer

The best answers will:
1. answer in the affirmative, explaining that the situation governs which element of ethos audiences will value over the others.
2. illustrate the point by providing examples such as:
• valuing trustworthiness most in a town-hall meeting
• valuing competence most when an expert is explaining a safety plan
• among many other possibilities.
