The emotional state of a particular person's mind can determine how he or she thinks, acts, behaves, or responds to a particular event. When used correctly, persuasion is a deadly weapon on the tip of the tongue and it certainly can, and will, help you achieve your desired outcome. So if anyone doesn't know, what do you really use to manipulate other people's thoughts? Well, whether you are aware of it or not, your strategies most likely fall under ethos, pathos, or logos, which is something I would like to discover in Margaret Sanger's speech. Margaret Sanger was, by and large, a birth control activist. , but this speech was more about questioning birth control corrupting morality in women. People need to remember that, in the day and time that Sanger gave this speech, in November 1921, women were considered very far from equal and much closer to servants or waitresses. In his speech I saw that the ethos was present, in the sense that it gave itself credibility. Through Sanger's detailed words and actions, and her statements, including the presence of scientists and, or, professionals, the masses of people listening could deduce that she was very well informed and solid in her statements. Although she presented herself as pleasant, Sanger was firm in her beliefs. Furthermore, Sanger states: “We desire to stop at the root the disease, poverty, feeble-mindedness and insanity which exist today, for these lower the standards of civilization and promote the deterioration of the race. We know that the masses of humans are becoming wiser and using their minds to decide their individual conduct” (Sanger, par.15). To me, Sanger addressed the audience using the word "we." In the practice of ethics, this focuses on the author more than... on the middle of the paper... on his full capacity. Using the talents and perspectives of rhetorical strategies, she was able to turn the conglomerate of people into dough in her hands. Margaret Sanger was an inspiring speaker, and through her obvious manipulation, the tools of ethos, pathos, and logos were once again useful. effective. I really enjoyed analyzing the strategies used in his speech, but I can't help but reflect on his questions previously mentioned in this work. In an era where women were beaten for our gender, I imagine Sanger endured ridicule; alas, she managed to create a masterpiece, full of manipulation, persuasion and truth.
