Ethos Forum Prep

In order to prepare for Friday's discussion here are a few things to think about:
- Your reaction to the State of the Union
- Places where you have seen the effects of negative ethos during the week, either at your community happening or elsewhere.
- Examples of the three ethos proofs (intellect, character, will) at your community happenings.

Also here are some things to read in preparation.

Transcripts from most of the State of the Union speeches given since 1945 may be found here, as well as video, although I wasn't able to bring up the video on my computer. We will be looking at the most recient 2007 State of the Union address and perhaps comparing it to the ethos used in Bush's 2006 address.
