Plato, Aristotle, Epictetus Response While there are multiple common ideas that are concurrent amongst the texts of Plato, Aristotle and Epictetus, there are four common themes that appear to recur in The Republic, The Nicomachean Ethics and the Handbook of Epictetus. The most prominent idea, as is expected within such a class, is happiness and how one should go about attaining it. Epictetus focuses on the avoidance of pain as a measure to find happiness. In his argument, he advises us to care not of things that are external to us – that is, things that we cannot directly control. In #10 he asks us to ask ourselves what capacity we have within ourselves to deal with a particular situation, “If hardship comes to you, find endurance,” (p14) so that we might not let outside influences affect our own happiness, and that our happiness can be created only by our own judgments, perceptions, decisions and actions.
Within different areas of an organisation we may find that different cultures operate. For example, the culture in a marketing department may be very different from the culture found in a department which deals with information technology inside the same organisation. Charles Handy (Understanding organisations, 4th edition, Penguin Books 1993) suggests that organisations can be classified into four types of cultures, these being: Role Culture: This is personified as Apollo, the God of Order and Rules, represented by a Greek temple. Such organisations are based on the assumptions that people are rational; and that roles can be defined and discharged with clearly defined procedures. They display stability, certainty and have great strength in situations marked by continuity; they often display weakness in adapting to, or generating, change.
From the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, rhetoric is defined as “the art of speaking or writing effectively.” This is, although, a very broad definition. In Aristotle’s Rhetoric, he gives great detail to the criteria of effective Rhetoric. In book 1, chapter 2, Aristotle elaborates on logos, pathos, and ethos. He calls them the “three means of effective persuasion.” Logos means to “reason logically.” Ethos: to “be able to understand human character and goodness in their various forms,” and pathos: “to understand the emotions that is, to name them and describe them, to know their causes and the way in which they are excited.” Using this criteria that Aristotle gives, movies and movie speeches can be evaluated by how persuasive and thought provoking they are. In this paper, three movie speeches will be thoroughly analyzed using Aristotle’s criteria of logos, pathos, and ethos.
I Remember Mama Introduction This paper will discuss connections between I Remember Mama (Capra, 1938) and the writings of Aristotle. Specifically I will draw parallels between The Nicomachean Ethics, (Plato, 380 BC) books 1, 2, and 6 and the themes prevalent throughout the film. Connection 1 Aristotle wrote “Clearly, then, goods must be spoken of in two ways, and some must be good in themselves, the others by reason of these.” He elaborates later by stating that some things are good just because they are good while in other instances good is nothing more than the intentions or the act whether or not the end result is good. I believe this is demonstrated when Mama lies to Dagmar about the outlook on her cat. Mama’s good intentions of shielding Dagmar from the truth that her cat Uncle Elizabeth through dishonesty was not a good deed, however her intentions and the idea of good was clearly present, even when sending Nels to buy chloroform to put the cat out of his misery.

Oscar Soliver Ap English Nov.8.2012 Hospitality is defined as how respectful and generous someone treats visitors, guests, and strangers. Piety is the quality of being dutiful and being devoted. Homer’s The Odyssey reflects the significance and value of hospitality in the Greek culture, as opposed to Virgil’s The Aeneid which indicates the value of piety in the Roman culture. These civilizations had high tensions that soon led them to war and resulted in conflicts with great warriors from both cultures. In Homer’s The Odyssey we almost immediately see how essential hospitality is in Book 1, when Athena disguises herself and approaches Telemachus, the son of Odysseus.
(10 minutes) 2. Using Powerpoint presentation, define and discuss Aristotle’s definitions of rhetoric along with its three main forms: Ethos (Credibility), or ethical appeal, means convincing by the character of the author. In other words, making yourself as a speaker into an authority on the subject of the speech, as well as someone who is likable and worthy of respect. Pathos (Emotional) means persuading by appealing to the reader's emotions. Language choice affects the audience's emotional response, and emotional appeal can effectively be used to enhance an argument.
