Genocide Project

Those who displayed the posters of the genocide project used the rhetorical appeals of ethos, logos, and pathos to reach their audience of students and faculty. Much controversy was caused by this project, as many students even protested against it. This was mainly because of the ethical dispute that follows this particular subject. The genocide project displayed pictures of aborted fetus' and genocide in other countries, and listed facts and effects of such things. The appeal of logos in the project, says to the audience that it is morally and ethically wrong to participate in such activities as abortion or genocide. The ethos of the project appeals to the audience, as most people see it as "morally wrong" to take such lengths as to have an abortion or to think that genocide is just. The appeal of pathos portrays a sense of emotion to the audience because it is a touchy subject for most people, to discuss the topic of abortion and genocide. Also, it is somewhat alarming to see large posters displaying pictures of such things in the middle of a college campus.
