Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Ethos: Ethos is about credibility and character. The statement "The speaker is a judge who is also a minority as a Latina woman" establishes her credibility (judge) and identity (Latina woman - a minority), which is an appeal to ethos.
  • Pathos: Pathos appeals to emotions. The first statement “For people of color and women lawyers, what does and should being an ethnic minority mean in your lawyering?” tries to evoke thoughts and emotions related to the experiences of ethnic - minority women lawyers.
  • Logos: Logos is based on logic and facts. The second statement “For all of us, how do [we] change the facts that in every task force study of gender and race bias in the courts, women and people of color... report in significantly higher percentages than white men that their gender and race has shaped their careers?” presents facts (from task - force studies) to make an argument, which is an appeal to logos.

Answer:

  1. Pathos
  2. Logos
