ARISTOTLE THREE MODES OF PERSUASION IN RHETORIC: ETHOS, PATHOS, AND LOGOS.

Aristotle three modes of persuasion in rhetoric: ethos, pathos, and logos.
 Ethos; Aristotle said when your persuading people you have to provide the information that are truth worth, source credibility and ethical standard. Also through ethos appeal to the authority or honesty of the speaker, it is how well the speaker convinces the audience that he or she is qualified to speak on the particular subject.
 Logos; It is also a part of Aristotle’s philosophies in rhetoric, in persuasion we need to have a credible source so as there should be a logical reason, this is the power to create arguments, it is normally used to describe facts and figures that support the speaker’s topic.
 Pathos; it is an appeal to emotion, Aristotle said that in any communication persuasion process there should be the capacity of understand the audience emotion simply because if you are capable of touching the audience emotion, it is easy to change their attitude, believes and behavior  and accepting what your trying to persuade them.
Generally persuasion is very important simply because it helps in changing of attitude, believes and behavior and the way of   operation issue in their daily life so as they turn to the attitudes and believe of the communicator. It also reinforce action and empowering a certain attitude to more accommodate with the attitude and believes or behavior of the communicator.
