Essay #3 Audience Strategy

In my discussion of the topic of school bullying, my intended audience is educators, as well as students and parents. Students are the main group that suffer the most from school bullying. In addition, there are educators and parents who are the “keys” to saving students from going astray and providing them with better protection and help.

I would like to educate my audience more about the dangers of school bullying and the effects of school bullying on society. To warn more students to stay away from school bullying and to remind students that serious school bullying may be a criminal offense. Also communicate to educators and parents the reality of bullying cases, observe changes in their children more closely, improve their own educational attitudes, and learn solutions to prevent school bullying.

The first way I wanted to explain my topic was to use the poster style, looking for relatively exaggerated images that would convey a cautionary but not serious style. In addition, I would like to show how negative the effects of school violence can be with some graphic illustrations of real cases or investigative reports, as well as some testimonies of victims who have been injured and how it happened. In this way, we can get parents to value the education and protection of their children. It also appears more authentic and conveys a rhetorical strategy of ethos. These posters can be posted in all corners of the community to draw attention to social issues and draw attention to them.

The next step is to exhibit the dangers of school bullying in the form of advertisements. Advertisements can better promote the negative effects of school bullying. A rhetorical strategy of pathos is used to show how the victim is experiencing the bullying. Advertisements can also be used to better promote effective responses to prevent bullying. Demonstrating some legal knowledge about school bullying and a professional perspective on prevention and protection is also a solution. We can see these advertisements on our cell phones, computers, or TV. Social networking is not only convenient, but it is also easier to be seen and then to pay attention to cases related to school bullying. Regardless of the genre of the posters or advertisements, I hope to convey a message of staying away from school bullying or solving the problem of preventing school bullying, and I hope that this problem can be reduced in society and a sound education system can be found to prevent school bullying.

    I agree that school bullying is an important dilemma that affects many children around the world. I think using posters and an advertisement is good to inform teachers, students, and parents about this issue. Using pathos is a good way to grab the attention of the intended audience as well.

    The advent of social media and having information put into small bits for people take in online is something that has definitely helped in the fight against bullying. So I feel like your poster and advertisement will be extremely effective. Great work so far.

    Sometimes it's hard to notice when a your own child is a victim of bullying or how to even handle the situation. I think it's good to target every contributor including the parents and educators, as well as students, because it's important to address this social issue that impacts numerous kids. I'm glad you have a sense on how you're going to adapt this concept into your essay.

    I agree that educators and parents are the keys to saving students since students learn a lot from them. But using posters to stop bullying has already been done before so I don't know how effective it will be. Good luck!
