The world of pathos: Tiger woods
I am someone who believes in balance. There is balance in everything that we perceive, feel, and experience. Pathos is no exception to this concept. In this world we dwell in, we have seen exponential growth in technology, globalization, and industrialization all increase on exponential scales; this growth-note that correlation is not always indicative of causation-positively correlates with the patterns of pathos (due to the forces of balance). As it has become more routine to know every single bit of information about the littlest shatoe in a jungle in africa-globalization-the lives of public figures our society cares about, have also been more exposed. This is simply natural and the direct result of balance. The more we know about someone-once again please ignore causation (post-hoc fallacy)-positively correlates-and in this situation causes-with ones salary/worth. This is all due to the power of marketing. If someone is in the public spotlight and mentions a product, it sells. This is simply how this work's, and something like Tiger Wood's privacy hindering because of this movement, is simply just the balancing of an equation. Tiger make's 80 million on MKT deals alone. So essentially what that means is, he gets paid 80 million dollars for his public image. If his public image is disturbed, not only will he loose money, people we know. Look at this mathematically, Good at sports=public image, Public image + being a good citizen = money, Money + being a bad citizen= loss of money. IT BALANCES JUST LIKE AN EQUATION AND THIS IS LIFE!
