A situation in which an appeal to anger would be appropriate would be a speaker fighting for change in his community or country. First the speaker would have to get everyone on his side. He could do this by talking about issues such as state or government neglect, or any public issues that would rouse their anger. Then he would talk about how those circumstances have consequences that affect everyone, personally and communally. After that he would discuss changes that would ensure better community care which would rouse the anger of the people even more, and help them to see the speakers side of the issue.
An appeal to shame would be effective in a situation where a speaker is trying to get a person to help with a volunteer project, such as helping the homeless. The speaker would begin by telling the person everything he has that he takes for granted such as food or a bathroom. Then the speaker would explain the living conditions that homeless people have to endure, through winters and rainstorms, to try and make the person see that he's got many things that he doesn't even need, which would begin to make him feel ashamed. Finally the speaker would talk about how little effort this person would have to put forth in order to help a homeless person immensely. All of these arguments would help the speaker to make the person feel ashamed for not helping more which would make him want to help.
