Ethos and Nutrition

According to Webster Dictionary, ethos is defined as "the character, sentiment, or disposition of a community or people, considered as a natural endowment; the spirit which actuates manners and customs; also, the characteristic tone or genius of an institution or social organization". Ethos plays a significant role in the nutritional and dietary choices we make. We grow accustomed to the dietary choices made for us early-on in life and we often do not bother to inform or educate ourselves to make better nutritional decisions. Surrounding ourselves with people and places that encourage healthier choices is a good way to make positive changes for our health.

Ethos and the Use of LGBTQ Related Labels

   The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, defines Ethos as the distinguishing character, sentiment, moral nature, or guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution. Ethos plays a great role in regard to labels and stereotypes. Often, the environment you grow up in influences the way you perceive people and labels. Many believe that LGBTQ roles in television can be questionable. While others, think the roles are straight on and is a great way to end discrimination.

Death Penalty & Ethos

According to dictionary.com, Ethos is the moral element in dramatic literature that determines a character's action rather than his or her thought or emotion. Giving one the death penalty and an ethos appeal are able to be linked with one another. Giving one the death penalty is a very controversial topic at the moment that no one really wants to be the one voice to say yes it is acceptable to give or no it is immoral. This relates to ethos because they are both similar about determining an action that is dramatic.
