Rhetoric is the art of speaking or writing effectively and persuading. Most people use rhetoric repeatedly in their daily lives without them caring or knowing. In Plato's Gorgias, Socrates discusses the nature and uses of rhetoric with Gorgias, while raising the moral and philosophical perspective of rhetoric. Socrates believes that rhetoric is a kind of false knowledge whose purpose is to produce conviction and not to educate people about the true extent of knowledge (Plato 15). On the other hand, Gorgias argues that the study of rhetoric is essential in any other professional field, in order to provide effective communication (Plato 19). After their discussion of rhetoric, Socrates seems to understand the true extent of rhetoric better than Gorgias, as he is able to use rhetorical appeals as a way to dominate the conversation. During their discussion, Socrates appears to have used rhetorical appeals, such as the appeal to ethos and the appeal to pathos to connect and convince the audience crowd, and the appeal to logos to support his claims. His speeches seem to have shown sarcastic aspects and constantly asking questions to keep Gorgias busy, while planning an ambush. Since rhetoric is the art of communicating effectively in the form of speaking and writing, with the proper knowledge and virtue, it can be used for good purposes. On the other hand, rhetoric can also be used as an act of persuasion, as rhetorical appeals can also be defined as an act of persuasion. Learning the true extent of rhetoric can help an individual strengthen their verbal communication skills. Socrates uses rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos to win his argument against Gorgias, as he is able to attract the audience's attention through rhetoric and has cornered Gorgias into revealing the true extent of rhetoric. Socrates used rhetorical devices throughout his discussion. with Gorgias, and began by using the appeal to ethos to draw Gorgias into his interrogation, in which Polus gave indefinite answers to Chaerephon. The Ethos call can be described as a call by character of authority; it's when we tend to believe those we respect. After Polus failed to answer the question, Socrates replied, "It certainly seems that Polus is well qualified to speak, Gorgias, but he is not doing what he promised Chaerephon he would do." » (Plato 3). Socrates, who was not satisfied with the answer given by Polus, pushed Gorgias to answer for his disciple while Socrates introduced Gorgias' name into the conversation..
