Alter in the 2014 article published in Times aimed to portray the march accurately (Arguably, there is no
thesis because it is a news article). She accomplishes this by describing
events as well as the physical appearance of the participants; she also
included quotes and described the different identities of the participants and
their reason to join the cause. The purpose is to inform the public of the
march to keep the public informed of current events. Alter establishes her relationship with the
audience (the sector of the public who reads Times ) through the location of publication of the article and its
content.

Birch in his 2014 article published in the Journal of American Planning Association claims that the climate
change is an issue that city planners (globally) can ameliorate. She structures
her argument by first providing the evidence that humans are the culprit for
the detrimental climate changes and that the issue can only be solved with
global involvement; she then proceeds with evidence that city planning is the
solution. The purpose of the essay is to inform city planners about the climate
change situation to ultimately facilitate their role in decreasing climate
change damages. The audience is city planners and she establishes this
relationship by focusing the entire article of climate change around city
planning and by publishing in this particular journal. (This article provides insight of the
conditions of climate change in 2014 and will be especially helpful with the
rhetorical context of the march).

Burch and Sara in their chapter titled
“Climate Change in the Public Sphere” published by the University Toronto Press
explores nature of climate change in a social context, claiming that human
activity and climate change are interdependent. They initiate the chapter with
the overall mentality and conversation regarding climate change and the
challenges surrounding the issue before proceeding to the science that proves
of its prevalence and the international political action to resolve this issue.
The purpose of this chapter was to
provide the relevant background information of climate change before fulfilling
their ultimate purpose of fomenting an informed discussion and decision-making
process of climate change. The intended
audience is people that are interested or are already invested in climate
change; the authors establish this relationship primarily with the content of
their writing and the provision of definitions of terms that would bolster
conversations regarding climate change.

Carlassare in “Socialist and Cultural
Ecofeminism: Allies in Resistance” published in Ethics and the Environment argues that although there are two
predominant perspectives of ecofeminism – socialist and cultural – ecofeminists
are able to “act together politically (but using different strategies) …to end
ecological degradation” (89). The author develops this thesis by first
providing background of the two different groups and their differences then
articulates the compatibility of the two ideologies and epistemologies. The
author’s purpose of writing the essay is to address criticisms of the
ecofeminism particularly of its inefficiency due to the fundamental differences
between the subgroups; she hopes to change the conversation regarding the identities
of ecofeminism. The intended audience is
scholars that critique ecofeminism; she establishes this relationship primarily
by dividing her essay in portions that address each criticism directly.

Feeley in the 2014 article published in Against the Current, argues that the
People’s Climate March, was a successful event due to the diversity and
quantity of participants. She develops
her thesis by providing numerical data and examples of the identity of
participants before providing numerous instances of how those figures
contributed to other protest successes. Feeley’s purpose was to reflect on the
successes of the People’s Climate March to contradict what others have
complained. The audience is those that participated in the march and perhaps
are skeptical of its effectiveness; her purpose of this essay as well as the
usage of the pronoun “us” establishes her relationship with the audience.

Flemming in his article “Climate, Change, History” in the Environment and History journal states
that current research should be focused on the environment at particular
“social and cultural settings” to better adapt to the current concern for
climate change (584). He addresses his
thesis by first articulating an all-encompassing history of climate change
before arriving at current day climate change conditions to bolster how the
publications in Environment and History
are impractical (although impressive). His purpose is to encourage others that
publish in Environment and History to
change the nature of their publications while synthesizing everything relating
to climate change in his article. The intended audience is scholars interested
in climate change history and other entities that publish in the same journal;
he establishes a relationship with the audience by directly addressing the
contributors of the journal and by providing definitions of words relevant to
the history of climate change and by citing other reputable journals.

Foderaro in her 2014 article in The New
York Times, aims to provide an informational article of the event, participants,
and voices of People’s Climate March (there really isn’t a thesis, since the
purpose of news articles are usually to inform). She provides details of the
march (location, purpose, participants, etc) and included information of
ongoing political events associated with the march as well as quotes reflecting
opinions of participants and even a policymaker. The purpose of the article is
to inform the public of the climate change movement protest to update its
audience on current events. The audience is the general public; she establishes
this relationship with the location of the publication of the article and her
decisions regarding language and word choice.

Terran Giacomini and Terisa Turner in their
2015 article in Capitalism Nature
Socialism, suggest that is transitioning into a commoning civilization, a
potential solution to climate change supported by some of the participants of
People’s Climate March, is very likely to occur. They initiate by providing a
summary of basic information of the march before delving into the differences between
two major conflicting subgroups (green capitalists versus solar commoners) and
ending with a closer examination of the solar commoners’ efforts and how that
translates to a future that does not depend on fossil fuel. The authors’ purpose was to distinguish the
solar commoners from the activists at the march and highlight their goal of
transforming the fossil fuel dependent society into a more sustainable and
environmentally friendly one; ultimately, this would provide an additional
impetus to catalyze this transition even further. The intended audience is scholars interested
in the People’s Climate March and those who support the goal of transitioning
away from fossil fuel; this relationship is established through the examination
of the dynamics of the march and the positive connation of “the emergence of a
commoners’ solar civilization”
(42).

Moyer in his 2014 article published in The Washington Post highlights the fact that “the power elite was
there” (again, no true thesis present) (Moyer). He proceeds with providing
quotes of influential political figures and infamous actors and even lists some
well-known names to prove his point. His purpose is to raise awareness of the
fact that significant participants of the march are also activists of the cause
to inform the public of the prominence of the march. The audience is the
general public who reads The Washington
Post; the fact that the voice and word choice is more casual (and not
academic), the presence of a myriad of photos, and the location of publication
of the article helps the author establish his relationship with the audience.

climate march).

Neira in the 2014 publication in the World Health
Organization.Bulletin of the World Health Organization claims that the World Health Organization
(WHO) conference is extremely important in establishing the relationship
between climate and health. She first
presents the evidence that health and climate change are linked before
discussing about the objectives of the conference and the important role it
will play in international climate change meetings. The author’s purpose is to
attract many educated professionals to attend the conference that would
ultimately contribute to international conversations of climate change
policies. She establishes the relationship with health actors (the intended
audience) by supplementing her arguments with scholarly sources and by
indirectly addressing them in her writing.

my theoretical discussion).

Hulman in his book published in 2015 by Palgrave Macmillan, argues the
importance of examining micro-political (as opposed to a larger-scale)
opportunities that allowed climate change activists to influence
policymaking. He addresses his thesis by
first providing the necessary background information of climate change policy
before examining the optimal time and mechanism of influencing policymaking and
supplementing it with three exemplary case studies. The purpose of the book is
to understand social movement outcomes and, in a larger context, to understand
the role of “civil society in the formation of national policies” and to help
activists understand how policies are influenced (Hulman 7). He appeals to
scholars that are interested in climate change policy outcomes by providing
various mechanisms to understand protest movements and by defining key terms
that would foment that comprehension.

Randalls
in his 2011 essay, "Optimal Climate Change: Economics and Climate Science
Policy Histories (from Heuristic to Normative)", published in Osiris argues that climate policy has
been (and continues to be) influenced by the cost-benefit analysis of climate
change. He develops his thesis by demonstrating the natural progression of the
cost-benefit analysis from a descriptive role into a prescriptive role and how
the question of economic stability became an increasingly influential factor of
climate policy. The purpose of the essay was to highlight the importance of
social science in affecting climate change policies to encourage the
consideration of the history of climate change policy as a function of social
science influences (and not just science). The intended audience is scholars
interested in the history of climate change policies and he establishes this
relationship with references to relevant literature and by organizing the essay
historically.

Rosen, Kim, and Nam in their article
published in Systemic Practice and Action
Research in 2010 claim that the nature of decentralized and self-organized
political protests as elaborated by the flock model, allows said protests to be
advantageous. They organized their research by first providing a review of
literature relevant to the vocabulary used in the flock theory, then focusing
on the aspects of the theory before applying the theory to two case studies.
Their purpose is to analyze how decentralized protests occur and to highlight
the role of the Internet in facilitating that; this would ultimately help
contribute to the discussion of organizational structures, since there is a
lack of research in the nature of decentralized organizations in political
protests. The audience is scholars interested in protest theory; the authors
establish their relationship with the audience by reviewing relevant literature
and providing key terms.

Turner and Brownhill argues in
“Ecofeminism and the Global Movement of Social Movements” published in Capitalism Nature Socialism that many
current social movements are for the transition away from a capitalist society
and that these movements tend to be ecofeminist in nature. They structure their argument by first
addressing the formation of a global class (comprised of predominately women)
against the capitalist market and their ideology before providing some examples
of the myriad of movements against a post-capitalist society and an example of
how a post-capitalist society can be sustainable. Their purpose is to respond
to and emphasize the important takeaways from Wahu Kaara’s article on
“Reclaiming Peoples’ power in Copenhagen 2009: a victory for Ecosocialist
Ecofeminism” to ultimately suggest that these social movements are just
examples of the expected “historic emergence of a working class for itself”
(106). The intended audience is scholars interested in social movements that
are ecosocialist ecofeminism in nature; this relationship is established by the
initiation of the article by acknowledging Kaara’s article, which addresses a specific
protest that benefited the Ecosocialist Ecofeminism movement and further
exploring the relationship of ecofeminism in current global social movements
overall.

Turner and Brownhill in their article
“Ecofeminism as Gendered, Ethicized Class struggle A Rejoinder to Stuart
Rosewarne” found in Capitalism Nature
Socialism argues that exploited
unwaged workers of capitalism have the ability to abolish the class struggles
related to capitalism. They do this by first defining the stratification related
to labor and then highlighting the vital role that women play in producing
commodities, and how the abuse of their labor naturally leads to class
struggle, or their refusal of the exploitation (which ultimately places them in
a ripe position to participate and efficiently influence current capitalist
abuses). The purpose of the article is to respond to Rosewarne’s comment of
their article “We Want Our Land Back” to
clarify the entities (exploited wage, exploited unwaged) and their
relationships with capitalism in that article and to suggest a different lens
to view ecofeminism. The intended audience in this case is Rosewarne and
scholars interested in the identity and characteristics of ecofeminism; the
authors accomplish this by addressing the Rosewarne’s concerns and defining
terms relevant to understanding their newfound perspective to ecofeminism.
