I think that ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos make the arguments in the article more effective because they explain the main idea and make sure to explain it so that the audience is able to understand and grasp the message. 

THE ETHNICAL CHALLENGES SELF DRIVING CARS WILL FACE EVERY DAY

One will need a lot more patience to teach or show a car how to tell when someone is crossing the street and how and when to take turns. Many people believe that in having self driving cars, it will just cause more of a problem since one will have to be even more careful when crossing or even just walking in general. 

ANATOMY OF A PERSUASIVE ARGUMENT

ETHOS :

• word in Greek meaning character 
• when using counterargument for an opposing side to explain an issue in why you are correct, you are using ethos
• other times one may rely on reputation to be believed in 
• appeals to mental capacity for logic 

PATHOS :

• word in Greek meaning suffering 
• attention is focused on beliefs of the audience 
• used for the audiences capacity of empathy 
• appeals to imagination and feelings to help audience grasp argument

LOGOS :

• word in Greek meaning word 
• focus is mainly on the message of something 
• also known as "appeal to reason"
• points out clarity in the argument 
• uses data to support claim

KAIROS :

• word in Greek meaning right time or opportunity 
• used mainly for ads in a way of the "right time"
• could also be used as different ways to send email and other messages to different people 

These terms can be used in an argument against parents to get what you want by telling them facts and providing evidence. Also, when your parents realize that you are right they won't be able to say no to you anymore. 

SAME WORDS DIFFERENT PEOPLE

Two words that were discussed today were INDIVIDUALISM and TONE. At first my friend and I had different understanding of the word INDIVIDUALISM. I understood individualism as being alone without the help of anyone. After talking with my friend, I understood that it meant to be independent and start to become more into an adult.
