Week 11, Post 1
In an argument, an appeal to emotion is when a premise is expressing what a person should believe or feel in a certain way.
A feel-good argument appeals to me the most because it can be applied to all types of situations we go through in our lives. A feel-good argument occurs when we want to feel good about ourselves. There is a desire to see the positivity within ourselves. We want to be convinced that there is self-importance and how we perceive our own self has more value and respect.
An example of a feel-good argument is:
Paul is on a diet, part of his diet plan is to go on a daily run every morning and to eat healthy. Eating healthy means no sugar and no dark meat. However, one day after his jog, Paul wanted to eat a donut and said, "I deserve a donut, I have been following his diet for a while and one donut won't hurt."
