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. With your best friend as audience of choice, a familiar and informal tone is acceptable. It is
not necessary to provide very detailed information as they will likely be looking for more basic information.
2. For those who have read a newspaper editorial I have written; the tone would be formal and unfamiliar as I have never spoken to them before. My approach in writing a newspaper editorial would be more detail oriented while the reader would be looking for basic information with some details.
3. When my audience is my professor, my writing would be more formal and detail oriented. My professor is going to evaluate the content, the structure of the writing and be more critical
of my argument. My approach would be more analytical.
4.The audience at a conference where I am presenting would not be as familiar to me. I would be more focused with this presentation. These is a random group of people potentially colleagues who are listening to gain further knowledge. The presentation would be more focus and detail orientated. They want to be able to understand the information and incorporate the idea.
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?
I think an audience of young women would be the best audience for this topic, especially with the ERA coming back into headlines. I would tailor my presentation to women by giving
my essay a rally meant to hype them up and get them involved today with stories of the movement yesterday. The message most appropriate for this audience would be let's get done today what women have been trying to get done for over a century.
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?
I would pull the amendments and include direct data and quotes from the legal documents to include in my essay since the audience would be familiar with the topic and would want to see verifiable claims with the proof. This would change if I were speaking to high school students as the tone would need to shift to slightly less formal and I would need to change the
way I present the information as the students would be a lot less familiar with the topic. 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?
President Kennedy's support of the ERA was more of a contributory factor rather than necessary. As said in the article, the opposition for the ERA waned when other pressing social issues took effect such as Vietnam war and civil rights. Though President Kennedy's support contributed to the ERA passage by congress, it may have passed without it.
Module 4 Short Responses – Question 5 Was the social tumult of the 1960s a necessary cause of the women's liberation movement?
Though there is a strong argument that it was necessary for women's liberation because it reduced a lot of the scrutiny and taboo nature of women wanting equal rights. Despite this, I still do not think that this is definitive evidence to conclude it as a necessity. Women's liberation may have still come even if there was no social unrest during that time.
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.
Being a middle-class college educated women herself, Simone de Beauvoir, like many women was unhappy with the social roles of being a mother and house wife that society placed on women in her position. Simone, as a feminist, spearheaded the movement that expanded on the initial movement of women's suffrage and feminism and moved to reproductive freedoms and equal rights.
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.
Woman have been fighting for decades for equal rights. Had it not been for these women we would not have the right to vote or earn equal pay. Laws were created giving women the opportunity to stay at home with their infants to bond with their children. The reproductive rights exist due to the woman's right movement and the court case of Roe Vs Wade. Women started to experience sexual freedom which in turn lost some of the older and conservative women in the movement. We have these rights today because of the courage and determination of the woman who began the movement for equal rights.
