  20. Quickwrite • What is meant by the following quote? Use the appeals, ethos, pathos and logos, in your response. • "If you can fake sincerity, you've got it made." • Do you agree or disagree with the quote? Why?

  21. John Kotter: "People change what they do less because they are given analysis that shifts their thinking than because they are shown a truth that influences their feelings. In other words, if you want to motivate people to alter the way they do things, you can't just rely on numbers, charts and reports" -- logos! -- "to convince them that change is necessary. You have to speak to their emotions."

  22. One of the many, many failures of our educational system is that it teaches people little or nothing about epistemology. Their heads are a mash-up of scientific method, superstition, credulity, authority, assumptions. . . They cannot explain why they believe what they believe. They cannot explain why one thing is false and another is true.So of course they are swept this way and that by ethos, pathos, logic. The result? Most people's heads are full of rice pudding.
