RJA 10b: Argument

Research question: Should there be government oversight of banks and financial industries, or would a new accounting standard be enough to stop a recession?
Answer/thesis/claim: There should be government oversight of banking and financial institutions, and a new accounting standard should be implemented and enforced, to ensure that the American people and the Government are not defrauded by companies that hide profits and losses in accounting reports.
Ethos: Government oversight over banks and financial institutions should be reinstated to control what banks are doing and how they are reporting financial gains and losses.
Would your audience find appeals based on ethos to be persuasive? Where and how will you demonstrate your credibility and authority as an author? I think my audience would respond to ethos as my argument. I will find sources written by experts in the field to back this up.
Pathos: Government oversight should be reinstated to spare the American people any future pain and stress from foreclosures, job losses, and bankruptcy.
Would your audience find appeals based on pathos to be persuasive? Where and how will you include appeals to the audience’s emotions? My audience might respond to pathos, but on a limited basis. A lot of people have been impacted emotionally by the economy over the last few years, but there still needs to be fact based evidence to back up my argument.
Logos:
Would your audience find appeals based on logos to be persuasive? Where and how will you appeal to your audience through logic and reasoning? I think my audience would respond to logos, its logic and reasoning, and everyone responds to a logical and reasonable argument.
