In his article “Opinion: Proposed police reforms come from all corners, cover broad range”, Ken Armstrong ulitizes rhetoric techniques of ethos and pathos to convey in the necessity of heighted police reform across its regulations, among America. Proposals, express the necessity for inevitable change among the regulation of the national police department, “have come from scholars...and the police themselves”, those who have experienced the flaws that derive from the lack of organization among the police force in America, as they live their daily lives (Armstrong, 2016, paragraph 3). This sense of credibility that Armstrong conveys that fueled his ideas of police reform among American society, emphasizes his use of ethos to portray the importance

When it comes to the topic of police reform, many agree that our country is long overdue for it, however the questions is how exactly do we, as a nation, go about changing one of the most rigid power structures that exist in the country. While some believe that reform must come from within the individually flawed police departments, others argue that the entire criminal justice system needs an overhaul.

For instance, MacArthur’s promise of glory is shown when he says, “Duty, Honor, Country: Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.” MacArthur’s use of pathos shows the veneration and honor that will come to the students who follow those three words and the phrase also instills a higher sense of calling from the General. Furthermore, MacArthur also inspires a fear of failing when he claims, “Yours is the profession of arms, the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory; that if you lose, the nation will be destroyed; that the very obsession of your public service must be: Duty, Honor, Country.” The effect of the previous statement leaves a warning and creates a lasting impression emotionally on the Cadets that they must win and cannot accept defeat.

the police have had him charted for months, years” (148). While it’s impossible to fully contain oddities, instead of the encouragement seen in this society, it’s controlled and organized for security sakes. And in doing so, stops the insight it might have on their “happiness.” Remaining oblivious to the majority and having
Precisely, the conflict proves the disparities between those who do the grunt work and those who command others. Rapp, a field operative who recurrently kills enemies, conveys his disapproval of Leland, an officer at a military base: “And you have an overinflated sense of how important you are in this whole thing” (Flynn 150). The plot is affected by Leland’s false senses of authority. Indeed, Leland believes that his crisp uniform and militaristic demeanor entitle him to power over Rapp. Consequently, Rapp feels as annoyed as a dog with fleas (☺ Simile) at Leland, and he puts Leland back in his place.

This contrast is exemplified through the character’s feeling and the consequent event. The lead’s incorrect assumption of safety adds to the reader’s understanding that he is usually perceived as irreproachable.

The policeman was unaware of the protagonists, but he was also unaware that the officer was inexperienced and scared as well. The contrast in emotions between these two characters ultimately resulted in the death of an innocent
Leadership can be contagious; people who learn how to lead, can transform the most average thing into a superior being. Bessie Head wrote “The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses” about a warder, Hannetjie, who uses brutal force to lead a span of workers, until he realizes he needs to change to be successful. Bessie Head uses the change in the warders leadership to provide the readers with the advice that leaders lead by example. The first sign that Hannetjie needed to change his ways is when he punishes the entire Span One for eating cabbage while working, while he smokes tobacco and eats as he pleases.
