Class Participation 2/12/20

An example of rhetoric that I have seen has been on social media, especially Snapchat. There is a feature on Snapchat where you can subscribe to different types of news organizations and although I’m not subscribed to any, I still see them featured or sponsored on the app. These news organizations do a really good job at “click bait”, or making viewers want to click on their article. I fall for their click bait all the time and the information they usually talk about are about celebrities and gossip. Their appeals are usually through the form of ethos and logos, where they are trying to convince and persuade the audience with information about things that have to do with famous people.
