Answer 1

1) The other two are Values and beliefs. Value refers to an individual’s perception of the usefulness, importance, or worth of something. Beliefs are propositions or positions that an individual holds as true or false without positive knowledge or proof.

2) Changing one's belief is the hardest. Changing minds is so challenging is that exposing someone to a new perspective on an issue inevitably arouses in their minds the network of information justifying their current perspective.

3) Evidences can be from

• An excerpt from a journal or letter.
• Quotes from an expert’s book, paper, or newspaper editorial.
• Conclusions from essays written by experts.
• Percentages from good sources like government reports or peer-reviewed studies.
• A court case or historical event that is similar to thesis.

4)ETHOS is an argument that appeals to the audience by emphasizing the speaker's credibility and authority.

5)PATHOS , or the appeal to emotion, means to persuade an audience by purposely evoking certain emotions to. make them feel the way the author wants them to feel. Authors make deliberate word choices, use meaningful language, and use examples and stories that evoke emotion.

8) True.

9) There are four specific parts of the need: statement, illustration, ramification, and pointing. First, a speaker needs to give a clear and concise statement of the problem. This part of a speech should be crystal clear for an audience. Second, the speaker needs to provide one or more examples to illustrate the need. The illustration is an attempt to make the problem concrete for the audience. Next, a speaker needs to provide some kind of evidence (e.g., statistics, examples, testimony) that shows the ramifications or consequences of the problem. Lastly, a speaker needs to point to the audience and show exactly how the problem relates to them personally.

10) In the satisfaction step, the speaker sets out to satisfy the need or solve the problem.

11)If a person is intolerant of other ideas, races, or religions, we call that person a bigot. The intolerance expressed by that bigot is called bigotry or obstinate or intolerant devotion to one's own opinions and prejudices.
