What is ethos?
'Ethos' is usually defined as: the fundamental character or spirit of a culture; the underlying sentiment that informs the beliefs, customs, or practices of a group or society; dominant assumptions of a people or period.
Ethos is a Greek word meaning "character" that is sued to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology. The Greeks also used this word to refer to the power of music or to influence emotions, behaviors, and even morals. Early Greek stories of Orpheus exhibit this idea in a compelling way.
Ethos is a very important rhetorical device in speeches because it establishes a sense of credibility and trustworthiness with the audience.
Ethos refers to the credibility of a speaker and includes three dimensions:
1. Competence:
- The quality of being competent; adequacy; possession of required skill, knowledge, qualification, or capacity
- An income sufficient to furnish the necessities and modest comforts of life
- Sufficiency; a sufficient quantity
- Of a witness, a party to a contract, etc., legal capacity or qualification based on the meeting of a certain minimum requirements of age, soundness of mind, citizenship, or the like
- The sum total of possible developmental responses of any group of blastemic cells under varied external conditions
- The implicit, internalized knowledge of a language that a speaker possesses and that enables the speaker to produce and understand the language
2. Trustworthiness:
- Deserving of trust or confidence; dependable; reliable
- relates to a speaker's perceived honesty and trustworthiness.
3. Dynamism:
The degree to which audience members consider a speaker to be outgoing and lively is referred to as dynamism. Charisma and energy are two aspects of dynamism. Charisma is a term that describes a combination of abstract and concrete characteristics that make a speaker appealing to an audience.
In light of this, we can infer that option A obviously employs ethos. It's the only flyer with a sentence that mentions the candidate's leadership experience.
