Helen Clark Ethos Pathos Logos

In the Emma Watson: “Gender Equality is your issue too”, It talks about how women deserve to be treated the same way as men, with pay, events, and attitude. Watson uses mainly Ethos and Logos, nor does the use pathos. In the Helen Clark: “Gender Equality and Women’s Leadership” speech, it explains that women are to be treated the same way as men and should be able to lead in positions as to being the boss and not getting judged, running for any part to do with Governments, and not be criticized what so ever. Both speeches mention a campaign such as the HeForShe Campaign.

Watson uses all Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. An example that Watson uses on her speech of Ethos, is “No country in the world can yet say they have achieved gender equality.”An

example of Logos in the Watson speech is “In 1995, Hillary Clinton made a famous speech in Beijing about women’s rights. Sadly many of the things she wanted to change are still a reality today.” Pathos is used when Watson mentions, “ I decided I was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me.” Clark uses Ethos, Logos and Pathos as well, as they both relate to the same thing. Clark uses Ethos in her speech, for example,” We face too many challenges in this world to think they can be solved without engaging the talents and participation of all people.” Logos comes into the text as the direct quote of “ The average proportion of the women in parliaments had nearly doubled in the same period. Pathos is used in the text when Clark says, “Women’s leadership is a to be which is dear to my heart. “ Watson and Clark use the appeals to show that they care about the problem in general and that it means a lot to them in their hearts.

Watson starts off mentioning the “HeForShe” campaign, as she mentions that she needs our help.

Gender equality needed to end yet chances are, that it hasn't. Watson's speech was the first speech about gender equality in the UN. She made it not only women's problem but men as well. Watson had explained that she has talked about it before, yet hasn't noticed it. The definition is then given say that it is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities, etc. At the age of eight, Watson started questioning gender-based assumptions. She mentions that at the age of 14, she started being sexualized by certain elements of the press. By 15, her girl friends were dropping out of their sports because they didn't want to be “muscly”.Watson goes back with memory on how she has thought about the situations before and how still we have these issues. Later she noticed that she was a feminist. As feminism become an unpopular word, today it still isn't very popular. The appeal that was entitled to what Watson said was “No country in the world can yet say they have achieved gender equality”. Watson wasn't limited based on the fact that she was a girl in school. Watson points out that Gender equality is everyone's issue and not just one gender. “If men don't have to control, women won't have to be controlled.”(Watson). She uses the quote of “if not me, who? If not now, when?” Watson makes her speeches interesting by wording. For example, she related to herself as the

Harry-Potter girl and why she may have been there. Watson uses negative, yet positive wording.

Clark brings her speech to Tokyo, Japan, and was honored to be there to say her speech. The speech is one that relates women to men as they are the same. Clark uses a list of 3 a couple of times to show what women can do. The list of three is “Governor-General, Prime minister, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chief Justice, Attorney-General, and Cabinet Secretary. That list shows that Clark used lists to represent her point. Her point for the list was to show that not only men can do possibly the harder jobs, but that women can do the jobs that are also possibly harder. Clark uses many facts as they help persuade us to agree that women can do what men can do after all. Clark states that women are sometimes getting unpaid to do things, such as, caring for young, elderly, sick, and/or disabled family members; obtaining and preparing foods; as they may be poorer, rural households, collecting and carrying water and wood for fuel. Clark mentions that she has broken many glass ceilings, and the question is why? Clark also mentions the HeForShe campaign.

Both speeches, hit the topic for Gender Equality, meaning that Watson and Clark went over how women need to be treated as equally as men. They cover how women are treated and how men are the reason for the way feminism is today. Emma Watson and Helen Clark both are doing the HeForShe campaigns. It is true that women aren’t treated the way they should be, but apparently that’s supposed to change.
