Sat Sri Akal! Hello. Namaste! Hi. Salaam! Five of the same phrases in four different languages - Punjabi, English, Hindi, and Arabic. The first languages I learnt to speak, almost the first words I said in each language. Do I still know all of them? Have I lost some of them? Are there more I’ve learned and acquired? Born in Dubai, raised in Dubai for seven years, the rest in the United States. I lived in a one bedroom apartment with a total of nine Hindi/Punjabi speaking people. I was surrounded by apartments with English, Hindi, Punjabi, Arabic, Tamil, Spanish, and Gujarati speakers. In all, within a well diverse language community.

I lived in Richmond Hill of New York, attending P.S. 62 Chester Park School. I was supposed to enter second grade, but because of age restrictions, I was registered into first grade. Those were the months where I lost the Arabic touch I carried from Dubai/Sharjah, because I had no way of communicating and holding on to it. Not only that, my parents and I realized the different English taught over in the US than in the Dubai/Sharjah. Today, the teaching styles may have changed, but in 2006, the English felt really different. It was really informal and there was a lack of instruction on the organizations of …show more content…
If I’m talking to my friends, family, a stranger, or an animal, I won’t be talking in a formal, sophisticated, high-class manner. I’ll use phrases such as, “Hi, what’s up? What’ve you been up to these days? Everything good? See ya! Missed you!” It’s used when there has been a comfort level developed between the someone or the people. On the other hand, if I’m at a job interview, talking to an admission officer, professor, teacher, guidance counselor, I’ll speak more carefully. I’ll greet in a polite, tranquil, mannerly. “Hello, Professor X. Nice to meet you.” Formal is to be used in a professional setting. Thus, I personally feel in writing, formal language should overpower informal language. It still depends on the kind of writing: memoir, autobiography, narrative, persuasive, fictional book, romance, and etc, when the manner of writing is being chosen.
At Science Leadership Academy at Beeber, I’ve both a formal and informal relationship with my peers and teachers. There are some teachers I think I speak to in an informal way and it’s something nice. I don’t think I’m offending them, I just feel that it means we’re really comfortable sharing and talking to each other. The same applies to my peers. To some of them, I’ll speak differently because if I speak informally it seems that I’m being disrespectful. It’s something that I just happen to feel, even if the opposite person doesn’t feel
The American people are easily swayed by the abundance and/or cost of products on the market. As a direct result of this truth, America has fallen into pitfalls in the name of cost effectiveness and consumerism. Pollan gives the examples of the Alcoholic republic and the Republic of fat in which he compares and contrast the causes and results of American lifestyles and the affluence among other changes in our culture and history. Mainly, that Americans will never exhaust their greed and gluttony. Pollan uses ethos, pathos, and logos to successfully persuade his audience to see his point of view.

President George W. Bush is notorious for horrible public speaking, tripping over his words and making silly mistakes are not uncommon in President Bush’s speeches. When 9/11 struck the heart of America we turned to President Bush to guide us back to the path of calm and reason. The American population tends to lean on our President in time of tragedy to serve as a system of support. Instantly after the World Trade Center buildings were attacked President Bush addressed the nation on live television. Bush used neo-Aristotelian tactics: ethos, pathos, and logos to instate a sense of patriotism, argue that America will recover from this tragedy and bring justice to our nation.
We see ads everywhere though-out our day even if we know it or not. Ads that make an attempt to persuade us one way or another. It could be to persuade someone into buying a product or even helping children that are in need. Either way, all these ads use certain persuasive methods, which include ethos, pathos or, logos, to get peoples attention. I saw an ad created by the National Association for Gun Rights. Obviously this ad is trying to let people that we have a right to have own guns. The ad shows a woman pointing a gun with the words “Mama didn’t raise a victim”. I’ve decided that the author was targeting woman that can presumably be victims of assault/abuse at any time. Given this information, the author is using pathos to let us know of the dangers that can be encountered at any given time as well as ethos because of the organization promoting the ad and even a bit of logos.
On September 11, 2001, America was forever changed. On this day, America faced the biggest terrorist attack that had ever been carried out; thousands of people lost their lives that day. Throughout the sadness and mourning of this terrible event, George Bush addressed the nation with one of the most memorable speeches. When President Bush addressed the nation, he stated that America is strong and they could try to bring us down, but we will not be broken.This speech gave hope to many Americans and helped them remember to stay strong. This day will be forever remembered for all the souls that lost their lives and the brave people who threatened their own life to save others.
My dad used to say, " be part of something that's bigger than yourself". He always uses to force be to play sports. I chose to play basketball after seeing the all start game of 2009. Ever since I wanted to jump, shoot and Run back and forth. My dad thought it'll help be grow taller, which wasn't the case. Basket ball is more about communication but that's not true. It is about hard work, percesion, trust, being punctual and most importantly dedication. Through ethos, logos and pathos I will elaborate how being on the team change my
Many veterans in the nation are struggling to find clothes, shelter, and food. Veterans from the Vietnam War until the most recent wars do not receive the appreciation and the care that they deserve. Due to the lost cause during the Vietnam War, many Americans turned away from supporting the military. After the Vietnam War, military antipathy was on the rise. In the 21st Century, organizations such as Wounded Warrior, Salvation Army, and Travis Manion Foundation are some of the few that provide aid for military veterans. Although someone can argue that veterans receive enough aid from these organizations, a great deal of veterans are sleeping in public shelter homes or wandering in the streets begging for food and clothes.

In the 1960’s America was divided over the voting rights of African Americans. It was a time of racial and political unrest as president Lyndon B. Johnson encouraged Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act. On March 16, 1965 “We Shall Overcome” was delivered to congress. Lyndon B. Johnson was elected vice president of the United States in 1960 and became the 36th president in 1963. Throughout his speech Johnson uses a variety of strategies to persuade the nation that African Americans have the right to vote. Some of these strategies include ethos, logos, and pathos.
For some, an argument may be a discussion that leads people to become mad and feel hate towards someone. This also might bring tension, between friends and family, but there’re times when people just want to discuss a topic that they feel would make the conflict better or resolved. When an argument happens, it’s recommended to use Aristotle’s Rhetorical Triangle. It is here that Aristotle set’s up three ways to appeal to the audience, which are ethos, pathos, and logos. These three appeals help the writer to persuade, inform, or convince the audience that what he/she is doing the right thing. Without Aristotle’s Rhetorical Triangle and Aims of Arguments, the writer would unsuccessfully perform an argument correctly. If creditability of the
The situation can dictate the style of speech you choose to use. If you are in an informal situation you will probably speak differently, perhaps more colloquially, than if you are in a formal situation. However, it is not only the formality of a situation which determines how one speaks. There are many other factors to consider.
