ESSAY #3 AUDIENCE STRATEGY
As I stated in my previous genre proposal, I would like to revisit my original topic of gender inequality. I said that I would want to include for #BlackLivesMatter and gender inequality in my essay, however, I’m still revisiting that idea. I would like to base my essay on overall injustices in America, but I believe that would be too broad of a topic. Instead, I just might go with gender inequality for this essay.
For my paper, I would like my intended audience to be both women and men. Specifically, those who feel as though their voice isn’t enough. In today’s society, it is very easy to believe that nothing you do as an individual can have an impact. Because an issue as big as gender inequality can have such a great impact, it becomes difficult to think that the work we do as a society will make this injustice any better. When reading my essay, I want my audience to feel inspired to know that the words they say or the actions they take can and will eventually make a difference. Because I know that gender inequality make usually be targeted towards women, I want any men who read my essay to know and acknowledge that any action they take is just as important as any action women might take as a whole. I would like men to realize that they would not only be speaking up for the equality of bother genders but for the positive welling being of society as a whole.
For my genre, I have chosen a visual genre. I think for this essay I could use infographics as a way of showing my ideas and getting my information across clearly. Also, I will be drawing on pathos for my essay. I believe as a society we are emotional human beings. It is very easy to relate to someone else’s emotions, and I believe by appealing to my audience’s feelings, I can bring about thoughts on the subject that they didn’t know they had.
