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. My best friend would be considered an audience that is known, familiar, and nonacademic. The tone of my presentation would be less formal for this audience; however, since they may not know a lot about my topic I would need to be very detailed in the information provided. The audience would be looking for basic information in the essay. 2. People reading a newspaper editorial would be looking to gain basic information on the topic. Since they may not be knowledgeable or academic, my tone would be that of a more casual approach while still giving appropriate details that would also satisfy those that have more insight and would be considered academic on the subject. 3. My professor would be an audience that is academic and familiar. They would be expected to have knowledge in the subject and would be looking for detailed arguments in the essay. The tone of this presentation would be more academic and would include great detail and comprehensive terms to deliver my argument and points. 4. An audience at a conference that I am presenting would be likely individuals that are both academic and nonacademic, but I would assume they all have a great deal of interest in the topic or they would not have decided to attend. My tone would have to be both casual and serious to reach both area of academic knowledge. I would avoid complicated terms and would make sure to explain details without confusing some or speaking down to others. The audience would be more interested in gaining information on the subject, although there may be some that are also looking for more detailed arguments in my presentation. 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? Students of a political science class or major may be interested in reading about the women's movement. If I was presenting to this type of audience, I would tailor my information to the politics surrounding the women's movement. I would speak to the constitution and other amendments that would provide additional supporting content to the process of ratifying the nineteenth amendment. The message of women's equality and process of passing political amendments would be important and appropriate for this audience.

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 the intended audience was a group of civil rights lawyers, the message and tone of the presentation would be much more complex in contrast to an audience of high school students and I would use more technical terms that would be well understood by the audience. The explanation would be similar for either audience as I would provide detailed background of the process of creating amendments, passing them, and eventually ratifying them. I would include information and explanation on past amendments and how they compare and differ in the steps taken from conception to ratification. 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? The support that President Kennedy provided to the Equal Rights Amendment was a necessary cause for its passage. This can be seen in his appointment of a blue-ribbon national Commission on the Status of Women as well as the executive order he signed which banned gender discrimination in civil service. The significance of this argument is that these actions taken by President Kennedy assisted the forward movement of the Equal Rights Amendment. Module 4 Short Responses – Question 5 Was the social tumult of the 1960s a necessary cause of the women's liberation movement? During this presentation, I will argue that social tumult in the 1960's was a necessary cause of the women's liberation movement. I will do this by showing how the joined efforts of both women's rights and civil rights activists as well as the efforts seen by the National Organization for Women enhanced the movement. The significance of this argument is that these combined efforts, which were often confrontational, provided a larger support to the cause which in turn gave more notice to the movement. Module 4 Short Responses – Question 6 Simone de Beauvoir was the intellectual founder of the women's liberation movement.
