Question

which statement primarily appeals to ethos to support the position that an overemphasis on community fosters dependence and reduces individual freedom? as philosopher and economist john stuart mill argued with regard to individualism, having individual freedom is integral to developing an efficient society. some of the worst atrocities of the twentieth century were brought about by societies that demanded collectivist thinking and action. while some may believe that having the support of a strong community is important for individual growth, i maintain that too much support can be harmful and may hinder an individuals decision - making ability.

Explanation:

Para determinar cuál declaración apela primordialmente a ethos (credibilidad, autoridad), debemos identificar la que utiliza una fuente de autoridad o credibilidad.

• La primera opción cita a John Stuart Mill (filósofo y economista), un figura respetada en el pensamiento, para respaldar la idea de que la libertad individual es esencial para una sociedad eficiente (y, por extensión, que un énfasis excesivo en la comunidad podría reducirla). Esto utiliza la autoridad de Mill para establecer credibilidad (ethos).
• La segunda opción apela a pathos (emoción), al mencionar "atrocidades" para crear un sentimiento negativo hacia el pensamiento colectivista.
• La tercera es una opinión personal que refuta un punto de vista, sin apelar a autoridad externa (no es ethos).

Answer:

As philosopher and economist John Stuart Mill argued with regard to individualism, having individual freedom is integral to developing an efficient society.
