Ok guys. chapter six focuses on ethos and the characteristics of it. This chapter will delve deeper into the techniques of ethos. Virtue—the audience believes you share their values
Practical wisdom, or street smarts—you appear to know the right thing to do on every occasion
Argument Tool THE THREE TRAITS of persuasive leadership: virtue, practical wisdom, disinterest
Selflessness, or disinterest—the audience’s interest seems to be your sole concern
These three techniques are supposed to get your audience to trust you. The book says you need to be able to get your audience to listen to you and comprehend what your saying. You can be likeable by your audience but if they can't trust you they won't follow you or listen to you. In this chapter they mention janet jackson and her spill on being virtuous. She mentions that men don't like being called virtuous because it makes them feel weak making it sexiest.
Brag.
Get a witness to brag for you.
Reveal a tactical flaw.
Switch sides when the powers that be do.
all of these are what i learned in the chapter but i don't have time to write about them all. ok this concludes chapter 6 kids, class dismissed. hahaha
