Please it is not an essay. Just a discussion question of at least 200 words.
Your textbook talks a lot about the concept of ethos, "a form of proof that relies on the audience's perceptions of a speaker's leadership qualities or competence, character, goodwill, and dynamism." Think about people in contemporary society that have high ethos and compile a list of 5 of them. Then think of other sources of information besides people that have high ethos and compile a list of 5 of them. Discuss your lists. Why are these people and information sources credible? What makes you respect the information that they have to offer?
