Ethos: "I believe that cell phones today pose a great distraction for students—especially higher-end smartphones that provide numerous opportunities for entertainment—and thus should be prohibited from use in schools; but, at the same time, I stand for not prohibiting cell phones from students’ possession entirely, since they allow parents to monitor their children for safety."

- The author shows their integrity by being a strong believer in their thoughts and sound like they know the subject they are talking about. He/She shows us this by saying statements with "I believe..." and "I stand..." in them.
