4-2 Module Three Short Responses
1.
Your best friend, People reading a newspaper editorial you've written, you professor, the audience at a conference where you are presenting:
Using a familiar tone with your best friend is considered acceptable. A familiar audience is usually reading to gain more information and learn about the topic, so they will be looking for basic information. Excessive detail is not needed in this case. For people reading a newspaper editorial I have written, it is best to use a formal tone as the audience will be unfamiliar to me. The writing should be formal and lightly detailed since there is no way to determine how familiar the readers are with the particular topic being written about. The readers will also need basic information and a strong focus on the chosen argument so that readers are able to easily understand. When writing with my professor as the intended audience, the tone would be formal and would require thorough and analytic detail since my professor will already have substantial background information on my topic. My professor will be looking for a critical, well-supported argument, so great attention to detail is required. If my audience was people at a conference that I was presenting, they would be unfamiliar to me. They are likely an audience seeking to gain new information and increase knowledge on this topic, so a formal and focused tone is required. The presentation would not
be super detailed but would present enough detail to present the overall concepts and ideas that the audience must understand.

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 be women, as this is an issue that directly impacts their own lives. Women's rights are being heavily addressed in today's society, so understanding the background of the movement would be beneficial for moving forward and I would tailor my presentation to emphasize this.
I would provide a lot of basic information and the most important key details to ensure my message is properly received. The most important message to get across is that many strides have been made for women's rights and the progress is incredible, but the fight is not over, and it is important to address the issues that still exist within our society.
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 the intended audience was a group of civil rights lawyers, I would not have to delve into too much background information, as they would already be educated on the women's suffrage movement and the background of the Constitution and Nineteenth Amendment. Instead, it would be more beneficial to analyze how the Constitution and Nineteenth Amendment were interpreted in the context of the women's suffrage movement and how they
impacted the movement's success. It would deeply contrast how I would address a high school audience as high schoolers would not be well-versed in law and would need to be educated on the background information of these topics before being presented with new
ideas.

Was President Kennedy's decision to support the Equal Rights Amendment a necessary cause for the amendment's passage by Congress?
President Kennedy's decision to support the Equal Rights Amendment was a necessary cause for the amendment's passage by Congress. Kennedy appointed a blue-ribbon national Commission on the Status of Women, which had major influence in the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and issued an executive order that banned gender discrimination in civil service. These measures opened up more opportunities for women and influenced Congress to support the ERA.
5.
Was the social tumult of the 1960s a necessary cause of the women's liberation movement?
The social tumult of the 1960s was not a necessary cause of the women's liberation movement. The movement was a result of the civil rights movement, Vietnam War protests, and the rise of counterculture and the sexual revolution. This made the women's liberation movement seem much less radical than previously perceived because of the combination of events taking place, allowing for progress to occur.
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 the intellectual founder of the women's liberation movement. Written in 1949, her book titled, "The Second Sex," inspired a generation of feminist writers and activists with its dissection of the causes of women's inequality. This forever changed the

women's liberation movement, allowing for a new generation of well-educated feminists to pave the way for the future of women's rights.
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 rights movement rallied endless support from younger women with its focus on
issues related to sexual freedom, including reproductive rights. This was considered quite a controversial topic at the time. These same issues cost the movement the support of older, more socially conservative women, as they felt alienated from the cause.
