Question
small group: central idea
directions: read each question from the text, \the origin of intelligence,\ then identify the type of rhetorical appeal used by writing in the appeal in the column from the options below.
appeal options
- appeal to ethics
- appeal to emotion
- appeal to logic
| example from text | rhetorical appeal |
|---|---|
| \surely it is preferable to assume that we can affect intelligence by offering rich educational opportunities to stretch and grow their brains. we may not all develop into einsteins, but given the right environment, we will surely all develop, and achieve, and succeed.\ | |
| \if you assume that the intelligence assigned to you at birth is all you can ever achieve, you are condemning yourself to a life in which your income and happiness are preset as well!\ |
For the first example: The text cites a 2015 study with data (IQ scores difference) to support a claim, which is using logical reasoning (appeal to logic) as it relies on evidence and data.
For the second example: The language like "preferable", "we will surely all develop..." appeals to the audience's emotions and aspirations about growth and success, so it's appeal to emotion.
For the third example: The statement evokes a sense of fear or negative consequence (condemning oneself to a preset life) to persuade, which is an appeal to emotion (it targets the audience's feelings about a limited future).
