Essay #3 Audience Strategy

My inquiry-based research essay was written in regards to the topic of Psychedelic legalization and effects they have. I think for this type of paper I want to focus my audience primarily on the US government and through that the rest of its citizens. I chose such a broad scope because I think too narrow of a focus will render my voice useless because of my chosen genres. Based on my type of topic I feel like it is important to try to reach the “man” directly. The U.S. Government is a body made up of thousands of different voices with different opinions but all tend to have very little time. A poster and a political cartoon have been used in America’s history to both criticize and spread awareness and I think in this instance it is no different. I would like to use my voice to outline some flaws in the legislative system. I think criticism is at times the most eye-catching form of media for the populace and what the populace focuses on the governing body at least catches wind of. To achieve this I will use primarily ethos and logos. Ethos by showing the illogical legislation placed under psychedelic substances that have led to great grief in American families and wasted potential in the medical fields. Ethos by showing, not necessarily my ethics, but the ethics that branch all of us together. In a more clear sense, we are undeniably human beings and no matter our differences we are still interlocked by this fact and I want to focus on that to strengthen my arguments.
