Thank You For Arguing By Jay Heinrichs

When arguing, do you often keep talking until your opponent realizes they're wrong? Or do you give examples in Logical, Ethos, or Pathos relation? Jay Heinrichs, author of Thank You For Arguing : What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson can teach us about the art of persuasion demonstrates and teaches the basics of arguing by showing Ethos, Pathos, And logos. Ethos meaning credibility, “Pathos” as in emotional, persuasion, And lastly Logical arguing.
Jay Heinrichs has a total of seven books published, he’s a former editor of Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, and group publisher of the Ivy League Magazine Network
Heinrichs goes in depth of how Aristotle has displayed three types of arguing being that “Blaming” is first which is spoken in past tense, “Demonstrative argument” which is in present tense mainly based on morality, “Deliberate argument” which is future tensed good or bad choices. Heinrichs puts his instructions into
He makes it very clear that the author or speaker’s value of knowledge is the key to persuade a crowd. Heinrichs goes as far to say, those who hold “This kind of trust is where practical wisdom comes in.

On social media I may see blogs, posts, or videos on topics such as beauty, health, and or lifestyle tips , yet I hardly check the publisher or speaker's credentials. Why should I believe the health tips Betty Sue gives on life.com if she isn’t a doctor or someone in any medical field? I’ve came to the conclusion to check the qualifications of those who give information before listening to them to form a trust
