Hardin uses Pathos two ways....
1. Through decorative language...
While arguing his points, Hardin uses emotionally intense words such as “suicidal” and “complete catastrophe” and other words that carry strong negative connotations. These words incite fear in the reader, leading them to believe that their very existence is in danger if developed countries continue to help undeveloped countries. This may lead the audience to agree with Hardin out of outrage.
2. Through creating a sense of fear....
Hardin appeals to the reader’s pathos by talking about the future of Earth and of the reader. Hardin argues that if we maintain the current trend of aid, we will leave a ruined world for our future generations. This leads the audience to think of his or her children and fear for their safety. This leads the audience to agree with Hardin out of fear.
