People who want to succeed and who want to learn how to deal with situations effectively and efficiently should be the audience to my material. Moreover, people who deal with or take care of individuals who are mentally unstable should particularly look into this. I think that this is narrow enough regarding the genre. The best genre to reach the audience is persuasion backed with factual information in the form of a material that is easy to comprehend and to apply in one’s daily life. If possible, I want to do a song but if that does not work out, I want to write a letter to my audience, a letter that will strike their heart in my hopes. I wonder if I should decentralize my material a bit because it is very focused on the mediation aspect being the cure for mental disturbances. I also found out that it is easy for people to comprehend short but meaningful materials as no one has time to go through an essay these days. The reason being too much workload or too much distractions such as movies or games or the like. For this reason, I wish to either write a song, poem or a concise letter to my audience, one that would grab their attention and one that would convince them and stabilize firm conviction in their mind streams. I also plan to use very simple vocabulary to make my material accessible to people of all ages and people in any stage of the English language.

I like the way you want to use simple vocabulary because I know that many people struggle with English which would be helpful since everyone will be able to understand it which your message will spread quicker. For instance, I sometimes have difficulty understanding some texts and it can be very frustrating. Also, I like your idea of writing a poem. Poems can be very expressive and have a deeper meaning than writing a three page essay!
I would want people to be more aware of pharmaceutical companies and how they want to make money by distributing opioids, increasing drug addiction and destroying families everyday. The people that I want to hear my research are the people my age, teenagers. We are the ones that are being exposed and easy to fall into any type of drug addiction since we have it more accessible. I feel that by narrowing it down I should just focus on the main points in my topic since it is a big topic. I feel that the best genre to reach my audience is a poem. The best genre to reach my audience I think is film. I think having a short documentary stating the main points will bring people’s attention. Some people absorb the information quicker when visualizing it. Informing but at the same time entertaining. Another genre I feel it will work is poetry. Through poems I feel that I will be able to foster conscience on opioid abuse and how pharmaceutical companies have led to this crisis. Poems can be very concise and short but can help cross that message more deeper.
Your idea of writing esaays using simple language is great! I also feel that complex concepts that are hard to comprehend must be simplified. Many times when I read articles on complicated subjects I feel that the author is playing verbal gymnastics and I have to read the article and the dictionary side by side. So simplifying complex concepts will help the masses understand that certain concept. Although I am not a fan of songs or poems when too much literary devices are used, sometimes when I read some poems it feels that I need to do an exegesis of the poem in order to understand it and appreciate it. A genre for mentally diabled people would be amazing and it would help increase the literacy amongst people. Learners who have the problem of dyslexia and ADHD can learn and comprehend better.

Also i feel that my research, which was about why people deny a creator, must be heard by both theists and athiests so that yhey can better understand their positions on such important questions. To narrow it down, atheists must hear about my research because I believe that belief in a Creator is self evident, so the onus of proof is on the athiest to provide evidence for their beliefs. The best genre to reach that audience is by using simple vocabulary and not delving too much into logical fallacies or philosophical concepts. By keeping the content simple a wider audience can be reached. If someone believes something to be the truth, it should appeal to the masses and not just a select few people.
