Advertisements often employ many different methods of persuading a potential consumer. The vast majority of persuasive methods can be classified into three modes. These modes are ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos makes an appeal of character or personality. Pathos makes an appeal to the emotions. And logos appeals to reason or logic. This fascinating system of classification, first invented by Aristotle, remains valid even today. Let's explore how this system can be applied to a modern magazine advertisement.

Rosie claims that “there isn’t a day that goes by in the restaurant that you don’t learn something” as well as Joe that states “it was like schooling… a place where you’re constantly learning”. Mike uses reliable sources to gain detailed proof that blue-collar workers are not “a bunch of dummies”.

“I’m not a miracle worker; I’m a janitor,” remarks Michael Clayton in one of the opening scenes of the film. An apt phrase because Clayton has been dispatched to rein in a fellow associate named Arthur Edens who is suffering from a manic breakdown—stripping off his clothes during the middle of a deposition and running around naked in the parking lot. Visiting Edens in jail after the incident, the sighs of the breakdown showed no sighs of subsiding. In the middle of a conversation with Clayton, Edens goes on a tirade, eventually aski...

The article comments that there was, and is, a great deal of sexism in the workplace, specifically on Wall Street. Polk describes that sexist comments about female coworkers are how he would bond with his male coworkers when women were not present. Polk discusses how he feels that this way of speaking about women contributes to the fact that women on Wall Street do not hold high-level positions. This article suggests that the general attitude men on Wall Street about women, as described by Polk, might contribute to the overt sexism that is reported by women working on Wall Street. This
“Take down the barriers that prevent more woman from getting to the top… Woman face real obstacles in the professional world, including blatant and subtle sexism, discrimination, and sexual harassment. Too few workplaces offer the flexibility and access to child care and parental leave that are necessary for pursuing a career while raising children.” (Sandberg, 8). When I open my salon, I don’t want it to be just woman working there. Even though it is a more female dominated field, there are so many talented male makeup artists that are overlooked. I want my salon and my career to be filled with equality because that it such an important aspect for me.

In this essay I will be telling you about a certain career I have chosen. There are many careers in the field, but the one I have chosen is the best one for me The career I have chosen to be when I get older, is a veterinarian. A veterinarian is a animal doctor. The one most important reason why I have chosen this is because I love helping animals. The other reason why I want to be a veterinarian is because I get to work with other animal lovers. The last but not least reason is that they get paid well. In my opinion I think that being a veterinarian is the best choice for me, but if you don't follow along you won’t know why I think that.

Although, many women can work in today’s society, they still face what is called “the glass ceiling effect, however, other people believe that there is no such thing as the glass ceiling effect.
We were difficult to understand this writing title and subtitle: So Much Dead Space, Creating Store Windows Alive with Promise. Because we just looked at title, it was hard for ours to understand them. Before reading, we were indifferent to people's behavior, when we walked to the street or took the bus. Perhaps these days, we always fell into smart phone. We disagreed that pile of people cross and stay crowded together as they continue down the street. Since people's walking speed is different, we think that they can't walk together. We agreed that a creative store window is fascinating for pedestrians. After reading, we knew that people walk faster than the old days. Because many people live in busy life, people cannot help walking faster.
More and more, women are bound by the glass ceiling in the corporate world. The glass ceiling is a barrier “so subtle that it is transparent, yet so strong that it prevents women from moving up the corporate hierarchy." From their vantage point on the corporate ladder, women can see the high-level corporate positions but are kept from "reaching the top" (Ann Morrison, 1987). Ann Morrison goes ahead to say that the glass ceiling "is not simply a barrier for an individual, based on the person 's inability to handle a higher-level job. Rather, the glass ceiling applies to women as a group who are kept from advancing higher because they are women.” Even in the event that a woman does make it to the top, she is discriminated against when it comes to pay. In 2015, Canadian working women are making about $8,000 less a year than men doing an equivalent job, says a study that highlights the persistence of gender inequalities in the workplace (Mary Beach, 2015).
