Pathos

Pathos is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response.  Here is the best example I can give to Pathos.  This video will make you sad, and guilt you into donating to feed a kid for a year.  It shows hunger  and suffering as well as the difference your contribution can make.
