We Checked Off the Box
This article is very logos based. The question and answer style is very objective based. The article elaborates on the extensive reach done by the interviewee. The author asking questions like "Can you explain how you went about your research?" does not leave much room for emotion or pathos appeal. This allows the reader to take a step back as he/she observes what is going on in the interview. The researcher also does not include emotion in the response. I could list several quotations but they would always prove the same point: the response is factual and backed by evidence, proving logos appeal. I found the information appealing and thought provoking. No matter what the circumstance or statistic, I believe men and women deserve a fair shot at the same job because selecting the best candidate will lead to the best future for the community involved.

I agree with the statement at the end stating that men and women clearly deserve to have a fair shot in business. Obviously it would be wrong to not hire a women who is more qualified then a man simply because of gender. Lastly, I agree that there is very little pathos but this is because they are trying to display the information from the research. I agree that this allows the reader to add in pathos with the data that they state in the interview
ReplyDeleteI disagree in saying that a pathos appeal in this article was non-existiant. When McDonough puts quotes in the mouths of the "average" male in the business field, she used emotion to stir controversy and create a gap between the feelings of men and women. Even though that "Checking off a box" is apparently something that a male would be interested in, I can guarantee that statement was only included to make females side with the rhetor.
