Is Spray Tanning Harmful (Ethos, Pathos, and Logos)

For today’s activity I chose a topic, which was are spray tans harmful. An American Now News article used ethos in this quote, “The harmful effects of a spray tan, however, may just be starting.” This is ethos because the integrity of the speaker is telling you what their position is on the topic.  In an MSN news article uses logos because they use logistics and seem like a professional ideas. “Dr. Jennifer Stein, an assistant professor of dermatology at NYU Langone Medical Center, told MSN News that she believes New Jersey is trying to nip a problem in the bud by targeting youth tanning practices with both spray tanning and tanning beds.” Also the Ask article uses emotion because who wants there skin to be stained a different color from the rest of their body? “This type of cosmetic surgery is common among women and health authorities have warned that it can lead to skin staining, skin discoloration and also skin cancer.”
