Audience Description Post

1.           Audience: My direct addressee is President Park Geun-hye of South Korea. My indirect audience includes Koreans living in and outside South Korea (but more focused on Koreans living in the U.S.). These people are of all ages (elders, adults, their children, and youth) who are interested in the moral problem of political bribery and abuse of power.

2.           Representative detail: Young adult (age 20), Korean living in the U.S.

3.           Shared principles: Korean, young adult, living in the U.S., relatives living in South Korea, naturalized U.S. citizen

4.           Unshared principles: Doesn’t believe in the importance (and the impact) of grassroots political activism; doesn’t believe that the voice of youth/younger generation is impactful

5.           Perhaps the idea of protesting here in the States as opposed to partaking in public protest in South Korea (where this political scandal is actually taking place) may be viewed as a fruitless attempt 

6.           Common ground: We want the country that we were born in and cherish to be as stable as possible, and to have a President in office who promises to faithfully execute the position instead of a ruler admitting to wrongful (criminal) activities committed throughout her presidency.

7.           Political activism is something that is important. (Make this a fixed argument.) 

8.           I will anticipate possible objections (most likely before my arguments/near the beginning of the paper) or as I explain/articulate on my arguments.
