Prices gave a speech that captures and provoked its audience hostility to the enemy of Athens and Sparta. Len his speech at the funeral oration which is an annual ceremony to honor Athens war dead.
This speech is an example of pathos persuasion. This pattern deals with the framing of the minds of an audience. In addition, Percales added by saying "l would have thought it sufficient that those who have shown their mettle in action should also receive their honor in an action. " Similar, in Prices speech, he energize his audience to see themselves as heroes rotor of emulation.In the funeral oration he said that "Those who can truly be accounted brave are those who best know the meaning of what is sweet in life and what is terrible, and then go out, undeterred, to meet what is to come.
" Furthermore, Prices cited in his speech that "The freedom which we enjoy in our government extends also to our ordinary life" this intends to educate his audience that freedom in government - the vote, equality of the governing body, freedom in ordinary life - citizen freedom, all citizen's equality under the law. 2. No.Prices does not use rhetoric in the way that, according to Plato, dishonest Sophist such as the Georgia do. Rather he uses the ideas on rhetoric expressed in Aristotle On Rhetoric help shed light on the contrasting opinion of Prices.
During his speech on "funeral oration. " He used Pathos to frame the minds of his audience to see themselves as patriotic and willing to defend their country at any given time. In addition, I strongly believe that Prices shaped his speech before speaking to his audience, he was passionate on the subject of his speech. .
A) Comparing Aristotle defense of rhetoric with the one made by Georgia in Plato text, it is clear that Aristotle builds Plat's ideas , but both views differ. For example, Aristotle assumes that man's basic nature is good and rational, while Plato believes that man is in need of instruction and is particularly vulnerable to deception. Similarly, Plato is aggressive towards the function of rhetoric in his dialogue Georgia and indecisive at best in his dialogue Phaedra.While Aristotle, is concerned with the pursuit of truth; however, in his dialogues he views hitherto as a way to distort truth as he points out in his criticism of the sophists. (b) Aristotle echoes Georgia as a poetic stylist that lacks serious ideas. Aristotle believes that Although, Georgia speaking and poetic seemed to have acquired its present fame through their style, for this reason prose style was in the first instance poetic, like that of Georgia.
And even now, many uneducated people think such stylists express themselves best .Aristotle position defines the importance of rhetoric approach in all situations and not only in political deliberation, Judicial affairs, public celebrations and community speeches. 4. Aristotle rhetoric's primary purpose explains the need of finding and utilizing the most effective meaner of persuasion in any given situation and it goes far beyond political deliberations, Judicial affairs public celebrations and community speeches.
Aristotle also refuted the idea of Plato on rhetoric by saying "Rhetoric is useful," Decease " things Tanat are true Ana things Tanat are Just nave a natural tendency to prevail over their opposite.For example, if the decision of a president or Judge are not what they ought to be, it implies that the defeat might be as a result of the speaker persuasive approach. In addition, Aristotle believes that " the understanding of the basic principles of persuasion was part of being an educated member of a society. " But the application of rhetoric approach can either be helpful or harmful. 5.
Aristotle three meaner of persuasion are 1. Ethos 2. Pathos 3. Logos I. Ethos : One significant characteristics of ethos is that it deals with the personal hearted of the speaker it.The pathos: The significance of Pathos is that it intends to form the minds of an audience in a persuasive speaking.
Iii. Logos: The significance of the Logos is that it deals with it is a meaner of persuading from the use of reasoning. It deals with evidence, fact and not fiction. The pathos is more persuasive because it appeals to an audience's sense of identity, their self-interest, their emotion. It appeals to an individual sense of reasoning.
It is considered the strongest form of persuasion.
