Rhetoric is simply the method of effective communication. There are numerous different tools that you can use to communicate. A few expamples of these tools include anecdotes, allusions, and appeals. Knowing how a population communicates is half of the battle of learning to communicate effectively.
In English 1010, one area of focus was centered around understanding rhetoric. Logically, we studied multiple different tools of rhetoric. Our main focus was on appeals. The three main types of rhetorical appeals, usually written in Latin, are logos, ethos, and pathos. Logos is a literary device that focuses on employing reason to your argument to make it stronger. Ethos is another literary device that strengthens your argument. However, ethos focuses on incorporating credibility. The last appeal is pathos. Pathos connects to the emotion of the audience or reader and attempts to get them to feel sympathy enticing them to their cause.
Knowing all of these appeals are being used to effectively communicate allows me to be more critically aware of information around me because other individuals are also using rheatoric. If I can mentally bypass the rhetoric and get to the facts I'll be able to make better decisions without biased opinions.
