Ch 1: Interesting concept from reading

Ch 1:

1. Pick a concept from the assigned reading that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

We study and use communication on a daily bases, but never really understands how far back the study of communication really began. The study and principles of communication came to life in ancient Greece over twenty-five hundred years ago. (Trenholm 2)
During this time period Aristotle introduced the important art of rhetoric. I found it interesting how the use of rhetoric is still as important as it was when Aristotle was teaching the methods to his students and the world. I believe ethos, pathos and logos is still used to help communicate effectively to the audience. For example, an individual must have his/her own personal character to standout from the crowd (ethos), without emotion behind your words those words are not as effective to the audience (pathos), and without correct choice of words and logic the message can be lost or misunderstood (logos) (p. 4). It seems very interesting that even through many years have gone by the use of these three terms are used more then ever in today’s society.
