Paper A - Comprehensive Sexuality Education
Argument: The argument of my Paper A is that comprehensive sex education is the only proper way to teach sexuality education.
Audience: My audience is LDS parents of high school aged teenagers in Utah.
Goal: The goal of the paper is to persuade the parents to support comprehensive sex education and help them understand the importance and benefits of it.
How: Ethos – In my paper, I try to personally establish ethos by creating a sense of authority and respect. I inform them of all the details before I try to persuade them one way or the other. I also use a quote from President Joseph F. Smith to appeal to my audience and the religion aspect of my paper.
Logos – The paper gives a lot of statistics in favor of sexuality education. It provides sources that show the success rates and how comprehensive sex education benefits teens and in no way promotes sex.
Sufficient – My paper uses a sufficient amount of evidence, both in hard cold facts and also personal stories and quotes from people my audience knows and resects.
Accurate – Although my paper mentions the audience’s counterarguments, I could definitely focus on those more and bring those more into my paper. I need to better appeal to my audience by understanding their point of view more.
Is It Effective: Overall, I think my paper would be effective if the parents had an open mind about their teen’s sexuality education. However, many of the parents do not and only think their way is the best. This being the case, no matter how good my paper is, it may never persuade those with closed minds.
