Argument with Pathos

For my argument, I chose the Facebook group called "Feed a Child with just a Click!" This group lists different websites that people can click on during the day and money will be donated in order to feed children that suffer from malnutrition and starvation. In the group description, it states that it is hard for us to feel for people that we don't know, but if we just thought about all the children that go without food then we would feel the despair that these children go through. To help illustrate the importance of the group, the picture used shows a child that obviously does not get enough food. The child's bones are visible under their skin and looks very frail. It then has the words "Please Care, Please Click, The Result" and then shows a picture of children with food. Using this picture touches people's emotions by showing how performing the simplest of tasks can help starving children. Without the picture of the child, the argument would probably not be as strong. Actually seeing a child going through starvation pushes people to try to help more than just reading statistics about people they don't even know.
