Rhetoric is something we use constantly in our daily lives. Unknown to us, we have used the persuasive appeals of pathos, ethos, and logos for even the most mundane things. Rhetoric can be seen everywhere in our daily lives in the form of media, religion, politics, government propaganda, historical references, and social media. We should learn to appropriately identify and use different categories of rhetorical expressions effectively. Rhetoric is the study of how to speak and write effectively to persuade an audience or reader. It is used to convince the audience to think the same way as the arguer or presenter. Rhetoric can be found in our daily lives and is essentially used to convince other people about something or to convey a message in one's own point of view. visualization. The most common places where rhetoric can be found are social media and networks, religion, political speeches and advertising. In political speeches and advertisements, rhetoric induces listeners who are the audience to agree with the speaker's point of view without argument, but the arguer does not offer important information of intellectual value as to why they are insisting on their argument. For example, a politician may stand on a podium and begin to negatively discuss another party. Some even define their opponents' parties as a cancer that will devour society. This has negative connotations but no inherent meaning as they have no evidence for what they claim, all they want is for the public to believe in them. Politicians use rhetoric in the form of metaphor insinuating that their opponents share characteristics with certain things or anything of their choosing and sometimes it even seems offensive... middle of paper... their causes. These groups that use rhetorical elements to get us to support their causes influence our daily lives both economically, educationally and even family-wise. Everything we allow to influence us rhetorically dictates and determines our daily lives because it is interconnected. Rhetoric challenges the virtue of society and individuals as we are forced to follow what we are told we may be following the wrong choice. Society should not allow rhetoric to permeate daily life as it can influence the good values ​​of society. Rhetoric is very present in our daily lives, but we must be free from its influence.
