Why Prinyanka’s argument is better

Since the pre-historic times women have played the role of being around as an asset to
man. Still today there's a gender imbalance between how men and women are seen in society and
it creates disfunction. Therefore, people like Priyanka Chapro and Olivia Emin address the
injustices they see still today. They influence their peers and constituents through heavy use
word play in their speeches by and evoking a conversation that is can be controversial. Emin a
young student more specifically indicates to her peers how slut shaming is a main problem of
sexism today. Then, Priyanka a well-known actor and UNICEF advocate, talks about the how the
education system lacks room for women. Both speakers are females who have witness and had
been victims of gender bias. However, Priyanka’s argument is more valid than Emin’ss because
she doesn’t argue her claim with emotional experiences; she effectively focuses on how woman
dswdhave been systematically susceptible to injustice.; Sshe supports her claims by using
statistics of inequality in education, incorporating her own brand to raise awareness on social
inequality and includes a story of her of encounter with sexism; she even uses her own brand to
raise awareness on social inequality in all to evoke her audience to see the problematic doings of
sexism.
Priyanka tells her speech to a large audience, its televised for the world. In her argument
she uses pathos when she talks about some of the things she has endured being a woman in the
television industry. For example, sShe has been judged on her darker skin complexion and her
body while many of her male cast members had more leniency on their looks. She had been
denied a roll because they wanted a lighter skinned woman. There had been an instance when
she had been told by a director that since she was a girlfemale she was (eeasily replaceable in a
film. All uses of pathos that shows her experience. To add to her use of pathos, she discusses
growing up in India and helping her family take care of lower-class citizens, she had often
witnessed seeing many girls quite school and , get denied health care because the social statues
of a a female was inadequate to men. She has even seen young girl prepare to get married just
after hitting puberty. “Meanwhile they boys continue to live their lives as kids after hitting
puberty.” (Prynaka) As the speaker address the full spectrum of addressing her pathos talked
about her life as a woman she connects to the audience of women who can also relate to being
treated unfairly by a man. She even With that she includes examples of synecdoche when talking
about the role of men, her tone is sensationalistic. She motivates her crowd to see the socio-
economic aspects of 3rd world sexism vs sexism in developed countries to emphasizes the
necessity to understand how much more negative it can be for sexism is worst for the
impoverished. However, her tone is also gentle is of gwhileentleness she explains her with

concerns as she address’s her concern. Though the topic of gender bias was very popular in
2014, it’s something that’s still very prevalent in India today. “Women just don't have a voice”
(Priyanka); that’s due to systematic oppression, society follows traditions even though they may
not be very good ones.
“More than 15 million girls primary school age will never learn how to read and write compared
to 10 million boys who don't.” Pryanka says, in which is her beginning statement as she
explains her logic. Women go through many things and aren’t giving justice. In India cruelty by
husband and relatives continues to occupy the highest share (43.4%) among the crimes
committed against women in 2011 followed by molestation (18.8%). 15.6% cases are that of
kidnapping and abduction, 10.6% of rape, 3.8% of dowry deaths and 3.7% of sexual harassment.
The education system(pryanka) Women are also encouraged to not attend school, girls are told
its unnecessary because they should focus menial work. In 2012, only 27 percent of adult Indian
women had a job, or were actively looking for one, compared to 79 percent of men. In fact,
almost 20 million women had dropped out of the workforce between 2005 and 2012. (prynaka)
With all of these statistics
Priyanka concludes to her point as she states how women tend to only serve as the
motherly figure, the one who takes care of the house and take care of the family. is also another
way that Priyanka evokes the audience to understand the harsh realities of sexism and that the
issue of sexism runs deep into education just as much in the household. . Emphasizing on how
education should be a choice and is something that should not be an unreachable attainment.
Priyanka says that tend to women, serve as the motherly figure, the one who takes care of the
house and children and that would be it. People, especially in third world countries lack rights to
education as it is. ThatIn Priyanka’s speech she trying to get the audience to understand the
outcomes of not being educated. leaves many female children to be uneducated, due to the fact
the male holds a role of being the base of the family. Therefore, her point of education being key
to life is since boysvalid. Boys are valued more highly than girls and it has been that way for
years., sexism in education is rooted deep. Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman, 12 pt

From the lack of support due to male dominance, Then ethos aspect of her argument is
used when Priyanka has created her ownmentions her foundation, that is geared to support
education forfor women. Her foundation is specificallyis geared toward motivating and uplifting
women who has endeared some sort of tribulation due to gender bias. She has been partners with
other foundations In short, her foundation that tends to health and education in third world
countries for five years. To add to Priyanka’s credibility, aAs a woman who isand a celebrity.
Priyanka shares with her audience vulnerability and openness about why she feels the way she
does about the role of women. How her own career has been conflicted by stereotypes and doubt
on her accountability, being that she was a woman “on set”. Her brand is backed up by UNICEF
and she is a UNICEF ambassador. “Girls have the power to change the world” (Chapro) is what
she says in front of thousands of people as she uplifts and motivates her crowd to cheer. She
speaks to and for the voiceless as she puts it. SShe uses her platform to encourage people to
recognize the abuse of women by using repetition of words like “Power” and “advocate” in
which influences women to succumb negative implications of stereotypes of gender. With
having the intent to be connect to a part of her audience she shows vulnerability and openness
about why she feels the way she does about the role of women. How her own career has been
conflicted by stereotypes and doubt on her accountability, being that she was a woman “on set”.
In all she hits all of the rhetorical appeals while arguing her claim.

However, In Emin’s speech she only uses the pathos and slightly hits on a logical aspect
about her claim. Her claim is that sexism is a prevalent issue today just like Priyanka says. Her
logic is first addressed as She first speaks on the intolerable acts of her peers, how words such as
slut have double standards. She says, “Women in society aren't allowed to be explicitly sexual on
the grounds of lacking morality unlike guys”. Which is logic because it could be seen as a cool
thing in a guy’s perspective to be with multiple people and when a girl is deemed as a slut it
degrading. Men in rap videos have a ton of naked girls in their videos, but for a female to do the
same its looked upon differently. She also uses logic when she talks about what being a slut
means. She says that it was a word used to refer to women who were messy and or dirty as in
keeping her home tidy and keeping up with their appearance back in the mid seventeenth
century. She includes the history about the word slut to prove a slut is has a double meaning.
Then for her use of pathos, she starts of saying “we are smashing the confidence of young
girls each and every time we stand by and let them be called sluts”. Relating to how young girls
are subjected to slut shamming before they hit puberty. Her words are very powerful, they can
also be termed militant. She brings he repeatedly uses young girls and slut shamming in the same
sentence. Then after stating that she gets into her experience. From then she includes examples
of how slut shaming is problematic. “Male peers don’t think”, or “Boys are offended by women
standing up for themselves” (Emin). These generalizations repeat throughout the speech, she
continues to make statements and not clarify herself about them.

Thus also is the start to her logic behind her claim. Then for her use of pathos, she starts of Formatted: Indent: First line: 0"
saying “we are smashing the confidence of young girls each and every time we stand by and let
them be called sluts”. Relating to how young girls are subjected to slut shamming before they hit
puberty. Her words are very powerful, they can also be termed militant. She brings he repeatedly
uses young girls and slut shamming in the same sentence. Then after stating that she gets into her

generalizations repeat throughout the speech, she continues to make statements and not clarify
herself about them.
AsTherefore, Emin goes further into her pathos aspect, her anger abouttowards her claim begins
to overshadows her ethics behind her argument, she doesn’t address any ethical issues. Other
than her being a girl who has been subjected slut shaming. Her argument is only supported by
experience. Not that it isn't valid however, her emotional aspects are redundant, and they don’t
vary in context. She constantly talks about men and how they are the suspects of slut shaming.
Basically “men are the bad guys” in the situation, it’s almost contradicting when talking about
one gender oppressing another as she degrades men and generalize them. To further explain, the
point of her speech is to end slut shaming. There for when Emin talks addresses how using the
word “slut” is heavily wrong. She addresses men only and only point out her feelings behind it
without context of the history sexism. That could leave the audience to question, their freedom of
speech. Furthermore, Emin is also young and she is specifically speaking to her male peers. She
had experienced slut shaming and it had s lead her to see the problem of gender bias, just not the
global scale like Priyanka.
To conclude, Prinkaya gives as story, she gives her audience back round on her topic and
validates her statement with statistics. She doesn’t come off as angry but engaged in her topic.
Emin and Priyanka both want to prove their point on the inequality of women today. But the
word play, tone and figurative language used by Priyanka allows for women to relate to the topic
and gain a sense of confidence from it. The topic of education is relatable to everyone and
pryankaPriyanka holistic approach is motivational. Priyanka does that and still incorporates all
three aspects of ethos, pathos and logos. She calmly speaks to her audience and uses more than
one aspect when proving her points. Thus, her argument stronger because she can validate it
better.
