My Argument:People need to help themselves before they start Helping others
This simple pyramid was first created by Abraham Maslow in 1943 to show what the different levels of needs are for humans in order to survive. This picture shows that people need to help themselves and make sure that they got everything that they need before they start helping others out. The first three levels are the main three and all are on the person themselves. The top two levels are where people can help out others. The author’s purpose for creating this diagram was created to help people know what they need. This also shows the order and importance of that need and what is needed to move up the pyramid. Maslow probably drew this figure to help show how there are different levels of health and clearly explain what his ideas where on human health and their condition. Maslow uses a great amount of ethos because he is a famous psychologist. This image doesn’t use that much pathos but does use some logos since it is a widely accepted idea. ‍‍‍ ‍‍

Article Amid Brazil’s Rush to Develop, Workers Resist

Brazil is a leader among South American nations rushing to build hydroelectric dams in the Amazon, but workers demanding better pay. ‍

The article goes on to explain that workers are refusing to work because the pay and benefits are not as good as they would like to receive. They believe that the risk is too high and that they must more pay and protect themselves before they start working in a dangerous position. This is one simple example on how people need to help themselves before they can help others. These workers are going to be risking their lives to produce clean energy but are demanding more to make sure that they won't be at much of a risk. The author may have written this article because this could turn out to become major news or it also could cause more people to demand higher wages in dangerous jobs. The situation is that workers aren't willing to work when they aren't receiving well enough pay. This article has some ethos because it was wrote and published by the New York Times, a famous and major news organization. It also has some pathos but using logos the majority of the time. It tries to use facts to show what is happening.
