Ethos appeals to our sense of ethics, including social and moral codes, trust, and credibility.
There are two kinds of ethos—artistic and inartistic.
Artistic ethos is created and sustained through the delivery of the message.
Inartistic ethos pre-exists and comes along with someone’s status or station.

Pathos appeals to the emotions, needs and wants of the listener.
This strategy attempts to influence or manipulate the emotions and desires of the audience in order to persuade or convince the listener that their argument is true.
