Boys is wery obstinit, and wery lazy, Gen'l'men, and there's nothink like a good hot blaze to make 'em come down vith a run. It's humane too, gen'l'men, acause, even if they've stuck in the chimbley, roasting their feet makes 'em struggle to hextricate theirselves.”

This excerpt from Charles Dickens’ "Oliver Twist" highlights two significant characteristics of British society during the industrial revolution: first, a disregard for life among the working class, and second, the use of children in dangerous jobs. Dickens’ works portray the negative aspects of Victorian society, which were the consequences of the Industrial Revolution. Many issues arose as society became class-divided, with the wealthy becoming increasingly affluent while the impoverished faced further hardship. Child labor was rampant, particularly in factories, as a means to combat poverty. People's focus shifted to self-interest, neglecting societal welfare. The growth of urban areas led to a rise in slums. Individualism thrived, promoting personal advancement over community progress. Children were discouraged from dreaming and living within a whimsical world, instead being taught to adhere to logic and rationality. This era marked a significant decline in human compassion throughout history.

Response:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to express my worries about the increasing unemployment rates in our nation. My intention is not to delve into practical or theoretical socialism, but to highlight unemployment as one of the significant issues facing our country. 

Year after year, the job market continues to shrink steadily. Young individuals are taking drastic measures due to joblessness. A young engineering student tragically ended his life as he faced difficulties in finding employment after completing five years of his studies.

Educated individuals seek work within their fields. The youth represent the greatest asset of our country. If they remain jobless, they risk turning to crime or other immoral means for sustenance.

I am convinced that socialism will arrive on Earth inevitably and that this forthcoming socialism will not be clearly defined as solely that of Soviet Russia.

I urge you to publish a significant article that sheds light on this pressing concern, so that the rate of unemployment remains lower among the illiterate who often work in agriculture, while literates face higher unemployment rates. The voices of the youth demanding change will contribute to success.

Sincerely yours,

Gratefully,

Thank you for taking the time to read this,

(Your Name)

Naddik [6401]

Existen dos secciones del texto que ilustran el uso del apelativo emocional como técnica persuasiva. A continuación, lo explicamos por separado:

La primera sección donde el orador utiliza el apelativo emocional es: "Sin el hielo marino, las plantas y animales árticos deben adaptarse o migrar. Si no lo logran, se extinguirán". Hasta ese momento, el orador solo había estado exponiendo los hechos y las consecuencias de esos hechos. Luego, al comenzar a hablar sobre el impacto de esos hechos en los seres vivos, al crear conciencia sobre la posible extinción, el orador hace que el lector también se sienta responsable por sus vidas. Como resultado, se genera cercanía y el lector se siente emocionalmente afectado por su discurso.

La segunda parte en la que el orador apela a las emociones es: "Estas comunidades deben trasladarse tierra adentro o sus hogares y tierras podrían ser arrastrados al mar". Aquí, se muestra al lector lo que podría suceder no solo a los animales, sino también a las personas como resultado de los hechos descritos. Utilizando la expresión "Si eso no es suficiente", el orador guía al lector desde una situación negativa hacia una aún peor, donde los cambios que se describen perjudicarían a personas como el mismo lector, generando empatía y, a través de ello, haciendo que el lector se sienta conectado a esta problemática y responsable por sus semejantes.
