Explain the difference between logical support, motivational support, and credibility appeals. Provide an example for each.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
- Logical support: includes reasoning from specific instances and from general principles, from causes and effects, and from signs. An example would be citing specific research.
- Motivational support: includes appeals to audience's emotions and to their desires for status, financial gain, or increased self-esteem. An example would be proclaiming "doesn't it make you frustrated when you see people littering?"
- Credibility appeals: involve establishing your own personal reputation or credibility, especially your competence, moral character, and charisma. An example would be a speaker at a hairstyling convention citing how long he or she has been a stylist.
- Student examples will vary.
