  4. An example of ethical appeal: Plagiarism is wrong because you are talking someone else's work and calling it your own without giving the original author any credit for the work he or she did. This is basically like stealing someone else's work and stealing something that doesn't belong to you is morally and ethically wrong.

  6. Ethical appeal connects to the audience's morality, value, and belief. For example, if a murderer slaughtered innocent children and was given the death penalty, people in general would think that he deserved the severe punishment since the murderer shouldn't harm naive, cute children.

  12. An ethical appeal is designed to challenge the reader about his or her moral values. It questions the reader's own ideas and values and forces them to rethink what is consider where the line is drawn between good and bad.

    An example of ethical appeal would be cheating somebody solely for your own benefit. You effectively place the person into a lower status and take away something you never worked for.

  13. An ethical appeal is in many ways tied to an emotional appeal because a lot of people would have to invest in a certain degree of emotions to actually care about the ethics in the first place. Also, the emotion appeals and ethical appeals also have strong ties. For example, a person might look down on a lying person. In this case, the person's ethical appeal influenced his or her emotional appeal of disdain.
