Logos in 1960s TV

Logos appeals are used to defend an argument with hard facts and reality. The 1960s demonstrated this well with the use of technology. It was only logical that citizens of the US during this decade needed a television. Not only did hit help with the spread of communication, it gave a face to many famous people and events. People could watch real events from the Vietnam War, see commercials about jobs, and watch the news. When the color TV came to be there was an even larger reason to get a television, it made people feel like they were more in the action.

    I like how you commented on all periods regarding no television, black and white television, and the color television. My only critiques would be to revise sentence 4. The word "hit", and maybe at a "but" after the comma. Also maybe use a dark adjective to describe the footage of the Vietnam war.

    I agree that television was a primary was to spread information, especially information about the Vietnam War like you states, as most people would not have known exactly what was happening if it weren't being telecast to their living rooms. I feel like you could have pulled some logos used in the article and explain its effect. One example would be the part where they talk about how back then there were only three networks and how the first communicatins satelite did not go up until 1962. Also the article mentions how the content displayed were dumbed down programs. You could then discuss how different this is to television today, and how these limitations hurt the spread of information back in the 60s.
