Vox's video from October 17th explores the history that has lead to the mistreatment of Haitians and the stark economic differences on the two halves of Hispaniola. The video follows a journalist who goes to Haiti to see the the differences in person. The fact that the journalist, Johnny, goes in person to Haiti to see what life is like for merchants aids his credibility by going beyond statistics. The video appeals to logos by using statistics to put the disparities in perspective. For example, "If you're born in Haiti, then you're 2.5 times more likely to die as a baby." Information like this makes the audience have a very concrete idea of the differences across the border. The use of history of how the French exploited the land and enslaved people of Haiti also appeals to ethos. The racism that explains how Dominicans treated Haitians appeals to our sense of morals as racism is morally wrong. This all appeals to ethos as we don't like how badly things have turned out for Haiti. Overall these give information into what Haiti's situation is in comparison to the Dominican Republic is and how it came about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WvKeYuwifc Use this link to see the video for yourself.
