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 When talking to my best friend my tone would be informal, with a somewhat playful tone, they wouldn't necessarily be looking for an extensive level of detail in what I would be discussing and wouldn't have a detailed argument regarding it. For the people reading a newspaper editorial I've written I would use a formal/semi-formal tone, but it would depend on the audience of the paper. If the audience are businesspeople and the paper was targeted more towards them then it would be a formal tone but if it was more of a general population 'cheaper' paper, I would use more of a semi-formal tone to allow for more inclusivity. I would provide a good level of detail and would be looking for the basic-decent amount of information. For my Professor, I would use more of a formal tone unless instructed otherwise, I would provide a lot of detail and my professor would be looking for a great deal of information but also detailed arguments as to my thoughts. For the audience at a conference, I was presenting at I would be using for of a formal with possible semi formal depending of the subject being spoken about and the average age of the audience. I would provide great detail and the audience would be wanting a detailed explanations with detailed arguments. 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 suffrage movement would be more of an academic audience such as historians, those with need to educate themselves more on our past and lastly professors. I would tailor my presentation by explaining and providing a lot of detail and use the information we have available to provide accurate information. The message that I would like to be most appropriate would be that without the input of women, not just in the US but globally we wouldn't be where we are today.

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 intended audience for my historical analysis essay was a group of civil rights lawyers, I would use a formal, detailed approach. I would provide accurate information and explain the background regarding federation and the men at the time were not in favour of this movement and continued to put up roadblocks. I would explain what the women of this movement had to overcome and the journey from start to finish and how the Constitution wasn't set up to help women and neither was the 19th Amendment. But these women stood up for what they believed and fought for the rights we have today. If my audience were high school students I would use more of an informal and informative approach rather than a fully detailed argument. 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? While Kennedy endorsed the amendment during his campaign he did not push for its passage after winning the presidency. He did however take a few steps in favour of womens rights activists, he appointed the blue-ribbon national Commission on the Status of Women which was ultimately fundamental to the amendments passage by congress due to the amount of money that was lobbied. Module 4 Short Responses – Question 5 Was the social tumult of the 1960s a necessary cause of the women's liberation movement? It was a fundamental push forward for the women's liberation movement because it brought perspective on more issues that women faced that were not being addressed, and they felt like they were finally being listed to. 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. Simone de Beauvoir was able to use her voice and platform to highlight the Women's Liberation Movement which allowed the women of the movement to have someone else fighting with them and were annoyed by societies perspective of women to do something about it. Due to the overall success of the movement, Title IX and the Civil rights act were born. 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's movement on sexual freedom including the reproductive rights of women led to the loss of many older, and more socially conservative women. However, this allowed the movements participants to change to the younger generation as it was more relevant to their lives, the younger generations were the ones that will be the future and it was important to have them on side.
