Explore the role rhetoric plays in James Green's "Equal Pay Bill Has a Serious Downside." First, define rhetoric and describe its components. Then discuss whether Green's argument uses effective or ineffective rhetoric to persuade readers in his letter. Support your evaluation with examples. (15 points)

Rhetoric is the art of persuasion. There three components of rhetoric: ethos, logos, and pathos.

Green’s argument uses effective rhetoric by using these components of rhetoric to create an argument that appeals to the audience.  

Green establishes ethos by stating that the Equal pay bill is being considered by the Utah legislature. This infers that he has information on the legislature, and/or could be a part of it, firming his credibility.

Then, Green uses logos by showing you how the turn of events will happen if the Equal pay bill is accepted and enforced: “if businesses are forced to pay women the same as male earnings, that means they will have to reduce the pay for the men they employ". "If that happens, then men will have an even more difficult time earning enough to support their families”.

Finally, Green wraps it up by using pathos: “We should encourage our legislators to drop the whole notion. Let the marketplace determine what free-market forces should prevail. It is not the role of the government to dictate to businesses what they should pay anyway, either as a Minimum Wage or Equal pay for men and women.
