Specifically sense-gratification (compulsion)or self-centered centered fear (obsession) are described. <br /><br />Rational appeal is dry science, whereas Ethical appeal addresses our sense of conscience or compassion (some emotion) while backed up by science. The merger of science and emotion forms strong a strong argument. Emotional arguments are the weakest. Rational argument is missing the "so what?" factor. <br /><br />Getting someone to understand why they should care, specifically what and how probable is a reward be bestowed for their care.
