+Rhetoric is the art of persuasion, a fundamental component of open, civil society and discourse. Where there is no persuasion, there is mere conformity or, worse, compulsion. Rhetoric underlies a free, democratic society.
+Rhetoric is more than a matter of speaking or writing <u>style</u>. It is a combination of 1) speaker & audience; 2) logic; 3) emotion = ''ethos, logos, pathos.'' Rhetoric moves ideas, is moved by ideas, and changes behaviors, beliefs, and actions.
