Ethos, Pathos, Logos

We all have different approaches to attempting to persuade someone or a group of people and whether we know it or not we use all three methods of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. How much we use of each different method is entirely dependent on who we are trying to persuade. In my opinion Ethos always seems to out way the other two for the reason that image is very important not in just how you look but how you sound or the from of your writing when you are attempting to persuade the person. For comical reasons can you imagine trying to persuade Congress to legalize marijuana when you show up to the courthouse reeking of weed, blood shot eyes, the giggle, constantly asking "when do we get a lunch break I'm hungry", and wearing nothing but tie dye clothing. If congress witnessed that your image would come off as a "stoner" and seeing as Politicians are six times our age they defiantly would not like to see America turn into that. Even if you came into that courthouse with the most spectacular logical arguments on why we should legalize it they would not even consider it because of the image you created walking into the courthouse and the image marijuana has created in general to the public.
The second most important method in my opinion is Pathos. Seeing as we are all human beings we all run on emotion, I have never once heard a great speech delivered by one of our presidents or any great leader in fact where the man calmly and blandly delivered there speech to the crowd, they have never stated those facts or said they're speech in that manner. They instead try to reach their audience on an emotional level because that is the deepest way to reach someone and to persuade them. If I lived during the time of Alexander The Great and I was fighting in his army do you think his speech on his black stallion would consist of him just telling me that if we defeat this Persians we get to have Asia and control half the world, because if it was then I might put my sword down and walk back to Greece cause I don't see the point in dying just so we can have Asia and control half the world I see no reason in doing that. Although it seems logical and would benefit my great country of Greece and might even change the way of life for millions in Asia for the best I see no reason to die for that. If Alexander came in though in his black stallion with a loud voice getting the crowd excited and yelling at us that this is the day men, today you fight for your family, for a better a life, for your country for your heir and all your kinsman and men you have fought alongside with and died with, well that's a different story Persians here I come. The only reason though is that he now approached me at a emotional level he appealed to me in the since of my emotions which was for my family and friends.
Finally Logos although last it is still important because image and emotions can only take you so far without some logic to them. Now you may be wondering why I choose Logos as the least important and that's because a lot of people aren't persuaded by just logic. I feel that Logos is just the cherry on top of the whole ice cream. I would find it much easier to persuade someone with just my image, cause I'm so handsome, and emotionally then I would with logic, because with the other two people seem to react to it more deeply then logic. I could give you good perfect logical reasons why you should go out with me but even though they seem so logical and make since 99% of you wouldn't because your going to look at my image and how I would connect with you emotionally, but don't get me wrong this is just an example I'm giving; sometimes Logos is only useful for certain things such as persuading the teacher how your logathrim came out to be but I'm talking about the big picture when it comes to Ethos, Logos, and Pathos and that's life I feel that Logos should or is only used very little when it comes to persuading someone unlike Ethos and Pathos.
