Week 23

It is perfect timing after the Super Bowl to introduce propaganda and persuasive writing. So many people are trying to get our attention and especially our money. They do this by persuading us that their product or cause is right. This week we'll delve into some arts of persuasion, using propaganda combined with Pathos-emotion, Ethos-credibility, and Logos-logical perspectives.
