Post 16- Pathos

I'm sure that no one will EVER forget the UNICEF commercials asking for donations to save the lives of children who are in need in other countries, pets as well. Seeing these commercials grab at your heart and make you want to pull out your wallet immediately, it's the cousin to the shopping channel. The effect that these commercials have on us demonstrates Pathos in all the emotion that we feel toward it. Someone who is apathetic cannot feel the same strong, heart-wrenching emotions that stream through us, thus the name Pathos makes sense to me (because sometimes words just don't make sense with their meaning esp. when there is a better name that better correlates).
