During the reign of Adolf Hitler, a project called “the people’s car” was brought to the horizon. Hitler himself wanted the Germans to enjoy westernized standard of technology. Therefore, he pushed for an affordable family vehicle. To complete the project, an automobile company was created. The company was named after Hitler’s proposal. Thus, it was named Volkswagen, which translates into “the people’s car” in English. Over the years, Volkswagen has transformed into an international player in the automobile industry but it still stands by its name.

The ethos is also reinforced by the adult male driving the car in the ad. He is dressed well, in shape, and overall looked like he had his whole life together. He seems like he knows what exactly he needs and his decision making skills are reliable or else he would not be this successful. Thus, his pseudo reason of buying that car reinforces the company’s ethos. With the appropriate ethos being present alongside the pathos, it efficiently conjoined the appropriate pathos with the car advertised. Thus, the ethos played an important role in the ad because all the pathos created would be useless to the ad if they did not bind to the product itself.

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.
The Lincoln Motor Company commercial applies two methods: Ethos and Pathos. Ethos starts the commercial when Matthew Mcconaughey is introduced as the spokesperson by speaking and driving in a Lincoln car.
