Module 4 Short Responses – Question 1 1.
Your best friend 2.
People reading a newspaper editorial you've written 3.
Your professor 4.
The audience at a conference where you are presenting 1. When your audience is your best friend a familiar/known tone is appropriate. A familiar audience is likely nonacademic and is looking for basic information about the subject to gain knowledge of the subject to use later, but will not be looking for specific details. 2. People reading a newspaper editorial I have written are going to be an audience that is unknown and unfamiliar to me. The writing approach most appropriate audience is more formal and detail oriented. The reader is looking for basic information with some details.
3. When my audience is my professor my writing would be more formal and more detail oriented. My professor is academic and unfamiliar to me and will be looking to evaluate the content and structure of my writing and will critically evaluate the strength of my argument. My approach with this audience would be more analytical.
4. While at a conference that I am presenting at, the audience is unfamiliar to me. This group would likely be academic and would be listening to gain further knowledge, wanting to understand the information and incorporate the ideas presented. They will be more critical of the structure and details of the presentation as well as the strength of my argument. With this audience I would want the presentation
to be focused and detail oriented. Module 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?
The audience that would be most interested in reading about the women's movement would most likely be women's groups and equal rights group. This audience would be interested in the women's movement and would want to know basic information and facts about the topic. I would tailor the presentation to this audience by providing focused details about the events transpired that changed the history of the movement. Module 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 and contrast to an audience of high school students?
If my historical analysis essay about the legal battle for women's suffrage was intended for a group of civil rights lawyers, I would explain the legal background of the Constitution and the Nineteenth Amendment by explaining how women did not have the same rights as men and how the movement was focused on establishing a woman's right to vote since the Civil War. The background would also express how it took decades for the suffrage advocates to obtain these rights for women and the identify the primary and significant roadblocks that they faced as it pertained to politics and legality. If high school students were the audience, I would not take the same approach and would avoid detailed discussion about the legal aspects surrounding the Constitution and Nineteenth Amendment. I would instead focus on the facts related to the women's suffrage movement and how the events transpired changed history. Module 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?
Based on the reading, it appears as though President Kennedy's decision to support the Equal Rights Amendment had little necessity for the movement's success. There was no evidence indicated that suggested that his direct actions caused the passage of the amendment; however, that does not mean that his direct support did not have an impact on Congress passing it. Module 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 was a necessary cause of the women's liberation movement. The social tumult was a new movement of feminism and it encompassed many more issues. The fact that it encompassed more issues opened the doors for many others wanting to support the cause because it wasn't solely focused on a singular issue any longer. Module 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. The book focused
on the causes of women's inequality and explained the events that took place during the first wave of activism. Her writing, in turn, influenced a new wave of activism with new people, supporters and ideas that helped support the movement. Module 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 focused on issues identifying the inequality between men in women. Many activists spent decades advocating for women to have equal rights to men. As the movement proceeded on, newer issues were brought to the surface such as sexual freedom and reproductive rights, which altered the course of support from certain subgroups of people. These issues attracted the support of many younger women; however, it was at the cost of creating a divide between women as the older, more socially conservative women were no longer in agreement with the movement's goal/message.
