In chapter 10 the appeal that strikes me the most would be appeal to fear because it can cause a lot of change. The appeal to fear is to connect to the fear people have, to persuade them to agreeing with their argument. Over the years we have seen the repetition of fear being used to hurt other humans beings that should had never been hurt. For example, reservation camps that have been used when America has felt threaten for it security, those camps were suggested by someone and the whole country agreed as they were scared by something else. The most recent would be “weapons of mass destruction” that war lasted so many years but as many of you may know we are still in Iraq fighting against “terror”. That war was started by appealing to the fear the country was in after 9-11. Appealing to fear has changed history over the years and not just in this country. As this appeal can be used to elect a person as Mayor it can also be used to harm other.
