After reading one of my peers response to the discussion I saw that their were a lot of similarities and differences in our ideas. Some of the similar ideas we have both came up with was the steps we need to take to create an authoritative ethos. We both believe that in order to create a strong authoritative argument you have to have credibility, authority and have clear/Unselfish motives. Some other similarities I noticed was the connection we have to have with the audience, we both believed that the speaker had to have created a trustworthiness and character with the audience.

Similarities                                                                                     Differences

  • Have Clear unselfish motives                        Used real life examples instead of from the textbook
