Rhetoric Appeals
Outline
- Introduction
- Rhetoric persuasion mainly focuses on the art of persuasion.
- The three main elements of art of persuasion include pathos, ethos, and logos
- Ethos refers to the ability of the audience to find an article being credible and valid.
- Pathos is the ability to persuade the audience using emotions.
- Logos refers to use of logic in persuading the audience.
- In this paper, we acknowledge that hypertrophic scarring is a health concern. However, the most appropriate treatment is yet to be determined. Therefore, this paper explains the causes, predisposition, and treatment options that scholars need to investigate in depth.
- Summary of Varpio
- Ethos
- The three rhetoric This entails the readers’ judgment of the writer/ author in regards to trustworthiness and credibility, which gives him/her the merit and authority on the subject of study through deference and similitude.
- “Establishing similitude andshowing deference helps to establish your ethos as an author” Varpio, 2018, p. 208).
- Renowned scholars carry out the study on hypertrophic scarring; however, it is essential to carry out more research to develop the best diagnosis.
- Logos
- This refers to the logic in an argument through the reasoning that connects findings and conclusion through signposting.
- “To support the reader’s ability to process the logical argument presented in the manuscript, authors can use signposting“(varpio, 2018, p. 2008).
- Some of the proposed methods to address hypertrophic scarring include silicone and laser therapy; however, further research on btxA needs to be done.
- Pathos
- This entails the emotions that persuade a reader to read an article using God-terms.
- “The author must persuade the reader that the argument is important and worthy of the reader’s attention. This is an appeal to the readers’ emotions” (Varpio, 2018, p. 209).
- Since hypertrophic scarring is a significant health issue, the medical scholars have to develop the best diagnosis of the problem soonest possible.
- How the Rhetoric Appeals Work Together
- Using emotions, logic, and credibility is quite an effective strategy to persuade the audience or readers. The persuasion is essential in theory because the readers will have found value in the manuscript, having convinced them about the authority, catching their attention, and organizing it reasonably.
- The press release by the Oxford University Scientists reveals a scientific breakthrough after several studies on means of addressing skin scarring after an injury. Through the press release, it is apparent that there is rhetoric complexity in the press release. The scholars are acknowledged as being renowned, which means they are credible and trustworthy. Logic is evident through the link being made by request for follow up research to refine those strategies, while emotions are apparent through the eye-catching headline.

Scientists Develop News diagnosis to Skin Scarring after Injuries
Among the strategies, include, use of pressure therapy, botulinum toxin A (btxA), laser therapy, silicone, and steroids
Oxford University Scientists: Following rigorous research by scholars in the university, they have developed several strategies to address skin scarring. Most scars arise during the healing process of a wound, a process referred to as hypertrophic scarring. Hence, despite many causes of scarring, the scars need to be addressed because these thick skins are unattractive and lower one’s self-esteem.
The scholars in the university found that hypertrophic scarring occurs in wounds during the healing process due to abnormality in inflammation, proliferation, and regeneration.
The prevalence of scarring varies depending on the cause, and there are many risk factors; however, among the most critical factors influencing the developing the scars is the time taken for the wound to heal.
The most pronounced strategy to address the health problem is pressure therapy, but other strategies include btxA, laser therapy, silicone, and steroids.Although these strategies have proven effective in addressing the scarring problem, there is a need for further research to refine them in the future to make sure the best diagnosis is acknowledged.

- Conclusion
- The three rhetoric appeals used by Varpio include pathos, logos, and ethos, it is evident that these rhetoric appeals are apparent in the sciencedaily.com article. The article embraces all the three appeals making it a persuasive article.They lay foundation for future research.
- The three rhetoric appeals make the article by Varpio very persuasive and encourage further research on the subject..
- It is essential because some of the strategies identified lack clearly-defined dosage or means of administration.
- It ensures the evidence-based practice is identified in addressing hypertrophic scarring.
