Description

Week 4 Short Responses – Question 1 Your best friend People reading a newspaper editorial you've written Your professor The audience at a conference where you are presenting

1. Your best friend: If the audience was my best friend, I would have a more informal, causal type of conversation with them. If they are my audience, then that means they will be using this information either to get a brief explanation of the topic. So, I would brief them on some basic key points on the topic that could help them learn more. These key points would help they further their own research.

2. People reading a newspaper editorial you've written: If the audience is reading a newspaper editorial, I would think they might either be familiar with the topic or might not know anything at all due to it is on a newspaper. However, saying that, I would have a formal approach due to me being an editor for a newspaper company. Many will be reading this article. It being on a newspaper, I don't think I would have much space to work with. So, I would hit a few strong points about the topic to pick at the readers mind and get them thinking.

3. Your professor: When the paper is for a professor it would be written in a formal way. There will be key points, and information to back up those key points. The type of structure that I would be utilizing would be different than that of my other audience. sources would be included since this is information that would be evaluated and graded.

4.The audience at a conference where you are presenting: If the audience is at a conference, I would think they would know the topic on hand since they are attending this conference. The tone would still be more formal not knowing the audience directly. It would be a huge difference since there will be different aspects of viewpoints. The information that I would present to them would be informative, to educate the audience on the topic. Week 4 Short Responses – Question 2 Consider how your audience might influence the information you include in an historical analysis essay about the Women's Suffrage Movement. What audience would be most interested in reading about the women's movement? How would you tailor your presentation to that audience? What message would be most appropriate for this audience?

Depending on the audience, their interest could be different than the other. One group probably wouldn't want to read about the actual law and order that happened on a congressional lever or at the senate level. The group would be more interested on the day to day things that happened, and the movement carried on. They would be interested in the activities that they did themselves. What they did to get their audiences attention. That right there, their actions are what got the ball moving. They would want to know the source. Week 4 Short Responses – Question 3 Let's say the intended audience for your historical analysis essay about the legal battle for women's suffrage is a group of civil rights lawyers. How would you explain the legal background of the Constitution and the Nineteenth Amendment? How would this approach compare to an audience of high school students?

I'm not positive on how I would explain the legal background. I would think that I would dive into the numbers of votes that were taken during the time period. Show how congress and senates were voting in order to change how the current system was set up. I would explain on what exactly the 15th amendment was and how it impacted women right to inte. Which cause the movement to gain traction in order to get the 19th amendment into law. If high school students were the audience, I would avoid the legal aspect of the movement and talk about everything that was done in order to progress to getting congress and the senate to make a change to allow women to vote. Week 4 Short Responses – Question 4 Was President Kennedy's decision to support the Equal Rights Amendment a necessary cause for the amendment's passage by Congress?

Readying the article, I would say that his decision to support the Equal Rights Amendment was not a necessary cause for the amendment's passage by Congress. Nothing really points that his actions caused in the amendment of happen. However, even though it might not have been a huge impact. That does not mean that his support did not help the cause. What I think did help was that the women rights activist started to tie themselves in with civil right activist. This mixed both causes that were getting attention at the time. The civil rights focused on a wider range of issues happen in and outside the work place. Week 4 Short Responses – Question 5 Was the social tumult of the 1960s a necessary cause of the women's liberation movement?

The social tumult of the 1960s, I do think was a necessary cause of the women's liberation movement. There were two big causes that were happening back to back that grew and got a bigger audience attention. Both sides cooperated with each other. They both had different end game goals but helping one another was a big help. There were many other issues that were being fought for. This helped get people's attention rather than just one single issue that could have possibly been overlooked.

Week 4 Short Responses – Question 6 Simone de Beauvoir was the intellectual founder of the women's liberation movement. Tailor this thesis statement into a message suitable for an audience of high school history students.

"The Second Sex" was a book published by Simone de Beauvoir's in 1949. Making her the founder of the second wave for women's rights movement. The book was an educational aspect of historical events from the first wave. It demonstrated the inequality of genders. This book inspired the second wave for activist. Week 4 Short Responses – Question 7 The women's movement's focus on issues related to sexual freedom, including reproductive rights, galvanized support among many younger women, but it cost the movement support among many older and more socially conservative women. Tailor this message for an audience consisting of students in a Women's Studies class.

The women movement, a tough and long journey dating back to the time of the American Civil War. Many decades of women activist trying to spread the word and voice their opinion. Like stated before, this was a movement that had been on an ongoing campaign since 1860's. Many decades have passed since it first started, if it were not for those many women activist, no change would have come. Their many sacrifices did not go in vain since their actions lead many future activists to get their message across. Since the older more social conservative women could not do much at the time, they depended on the younger women to face this battle. Thanks, to the many younger women actions, the older class were able to gain these new found rights....
