Rhetoric is an art form which originated from the mind of Aristotle. In simple terms, rhetoric is a way of influencing people’s opinions through text, speech, or even advertising. Many people believe it is just used when trying to persuade an audience. While it may be helpful in this occasion, rhetorical techniques are helpful in many ways. Rhetoric is the ability to speak eloquently and sincerely, no matter what the topic. A passionate speaker, who truly shows this emotion in his speeches, uses rhetoric without even trying. The pure passion is a rhetorical advice because people feel a connection to the text. Rhetoric is so much more than persuading. Rhetoric inspires an audience, changes opinions, and challenges minds.
In my opinion, rhetoric is a natural and innate idea retained into the human brain from birth. One of the most important factors when using rhetoric is appealing to an audience. One's audience is who is being persuaded by one's point of view. How the text is being comprehended and consumed in its audience, is just as important as the type of rhetoric being used. Rhetoric is obsolutely in its own form, an art of persuasion which has been transformed and molded to the ages of time and history. To me, rhetoric is a very complicated form of persuasion and influence throughout the society and the world, used through speaking, writing, and communicating text. A good rhetoric speaker plays off of the reader's emotions and empathy, called ethos. How a reader speaks can be just as important as what is said to his or her audience.
Rhetoric is an old form of argument and argumentation conversation. Many politicians use rhetoric in many of their speeches to get their audience to agree with them on a certain subject. I think that that simplest way to describe what rhetoric actually is, is to say that it is a type of persuasive speaking that is geared toward leading the reader to agree with the author.
Rhetoric can be defined as the art of persuasion and argumentation. The three main aspects of rhetoric are ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos deals with the character of a person trying to persuade someone else. For example, many advertisements use famous faces as a way to get people to want to buy an item. Next, logos basically means using logical information and facts to persuade people. Many forms of propaganda use surveys in forms of percentages to easily show customers how a product is superior. Lastly, pathos is an extremely effective form of persuasion that deals with the emotions and feelings of a person. A prime example of pathos is a commercial with sad music and pictures that emotionally effect someone. All of these three aspects of rhetoric tie together to persuade the audience in many effective ways.
Rhetoric first came from Aristotle. Writers that use rhetoric try to persuade, motivate, or inform a selected audience in a specific situation. Rhetoric can easily change minds and opinions because it requires an audience to think on a higher level. Anyone who loves writing can usually use rhetoric without even knowing.
Rhetoric is the idea that a person can educate another from their point of view. It is thought to only contain persuasion, however consists of much more than that.

This has to do with the reader understanding where the writer is coming from.

Rhetoric is being able to make people think in ways that they themselves did not know they could. It is asking a question that causes people to come to opinions they didn't even know that had. Rhetoric requires one to know how to use language in the most effective way. I think if soemone knows how to really use rhetoric, then they can convince anyone of anything despite previous opinions. Rhetoric is not just trying to persuade people, but more, attempting to get people to understand the opposing side with reason, and not because they feel like they have to, btu because they truly understand.
Rhetoric is most commonly known as the art of persuasion, and it is an art form that is practiced by nearly everyone, whether or not they are conscious of it. Rhetoric is also sometimes defined as having the ability to recognize what is possibly persuasive in every different situation. Anyone can utilize rhetorical strategies in their writing and speaking in order to effectively convey their personal opinions and ideas towards an audience. Although everyone can try and use rhetorical devices in their writings and speeches it does not always have a strong effect. Besides being about persuading, rhetoric is also about being an effective speaker and writer. A person using rhetoric in their work, has to know how to use it, as well and have a connection to what they are trying to get their audience to understand; this can be by providing a mixture of an emotional and personal standpoint (pathos), a logical standpoint (logos), or a cultural or worldly standpoint (ethos). When used correctly and effectively, rhetoric is a very powerful tool.
Rhetoric is the study of productive persuasion in speaking and in writing. It is commonly used when influences are trying to be made. Usually it is important to ask in a persuasive instance that uses rhetoric of who is speaking/writing, what are they trying to convince you of,and how are they trying to deliver their persuasion. It can be found in any form of communication, commercials, billboards, and even by tv or radio shows. The best example of rhetoric right now is the campaigning of politicians for the upcoming election as they try to gain votes. They deliver the pros of themselves and the cons of their opponent as their biggest persuasive tools. Some other tools are pathos, ethos, and logos. Pathos persuades by emotional views, logos by logical views, and ethos by ethical views. All of rhetoric came from some of the greatest thinkers and philosophers of ancient history.
Rhetoric is not only persuading your audience, but also being able to be a good speaker. To persuade people, a writer obviously has to have great language otherwise they wouldn't be able to persuade the reader. To convince the audience, the author has to use logos, pathos, and ethos. The author wants to make the reader feel something when they read it. I think the author must use logic, emotion, or charisma in his or her essay to draw in the reader. To be not only a great rhetoric writer, but an interesting and effective rhetoric writer I think you also have to use the right tone. For instance, using a harsh tone would put off all your readers and you would persuade no one. Using rhetoric can help your audience develop an opinion, preferably the opinion you present in your paper. Developing the habit of using rhetoric can transform you to an even better writer, an most importantly capture your audience in the way you hope.
Rhetoric is a method used to produce a vicissitude in the way the audience perceives and thinks about a certian topic. Rhetoric was created by Aristotle in ancient greece. The three forms of rhetoric consist of logos, ethos, and pathos. Logos uses logic and reasoning to inveigle the reader.

An example of a company using ethos, or appealing to the audience by establishing themselves as someone trustworthy, would be the company putting a famous person on an ad for their product. An example of logos, or an appeal to reason, would be a statistic that is put into an ad to convince the audience to use a particular product. Finally, an example of pathos, or emotional appeal, would be an Animal Human Society commercial, which uses sad music and pictures of abused animals to appeal to the emotional side of the audience. When used effectively, rhetoric can be a powerful tool of persuasion.
Between the countless advertisements humans beings seem to encounter on at least an hourly basis, the politicians trying to gain their support, and even just a quick chat with friends; it seems they cannot hardly live ten minutes without someone using the art of rhetoric.

A big part of being successful with rhetoric is being able to evoke emotions in the audience and being able to persuade. Rhetoric is a tool that every speaker should utilize and for many it comes natural. Effective rhetoric usually involves utilizing ethos, logos, and pathos.

For example, a CoverGirl mascara advertisement may be more effective in Seventeen Magazine as opposed to a Sports Illustrated magazine. It is important for consumers to understand rhetorical devices so the general public does not become susceptible to deception. Rhetoric does not always compare one concept to another and does not have to have a negative connotation; however, sometimes it is rather engaging, and encourages the people to think about deeply about different positions or perspectives. For example, recently the Center for Disease Control and Prevention came out with advertisements to deter people from smoking. The horrific images may have been used to momentarily deter them, but also for a more long-lasting effect to prevent them from smoking in the future. Rhetoric is often thought to be a source of sinister manipulation, but in its purest form, it is simply a means to persuade.
