For unit 3 I will be writing about how America intervenes in other countries problems etc. I chose this topic because I see the amount of money that all these foreign countries are receiving from the U.S yet its own country can’t have any of this. The audience that I would like to reach out to is the government themselves. I would like to target this audience because before the President of the United States decides he wants to do something he has to run it by the government themselves and seek approval even though he is a powerful person. My first step would be to look throughout my research and find where I gave my strongest points against my research. One thing I would be worried about is maybe it’s not enough information to back up what I’m saying. Yes, I have researched information about how America intervenes in foreign countries and all they are giving but maybe I could have added on saying what they weren’t doing for their own country and the facts on that. Another concern I may have been that this would be more a political writing, so I won’t be able to see any of my audience being kids of this generation even though they are the voice now.

In the unit 2 bibliography, i discussed anti-immigration and my topic was towards why people like Vivek Ramaswamy are against these group of people. I mentioned how a republican named Vivek Ramaswamy, who is planning on being in the presidential election has several opinions towards illegal immigrants. In an interview, he mentions his plan to end birthright citizenships. He states, “ I want to be very clear about this. I think that birthright citizenship does not and should not apply to the kids of parents who entered this country illegally.” In other words American born kids with illegal undocumented parents are to be deported as well, he says. This is a very controversial topic because many of us agree to disagree with what he says. I mentioned this quote to show how anti-immigration is still around. People today still want to deport illegal immigrants

READ (and comment): Read at least two of your colleagues’ Unit 3 proposals, and comment on them. Comments should be at least 100 words. Please do not simply say “sounds great!” because that is not helpful! Think about the kind of things that might be helpful to you as you embark on this project. Here are some ideas:
- A specific publication or website you think the author could write for
- A question or comment to help narrow down the audience: “You say you want young people to watch this video essay, but there’s no publication that all young people watch. Are you actually trying to reach New Yorkers?”
- A question or comment to help narrow down the genre: “There are a lot of different kinds of articles in the world. You could be writing for a newspaper like the New York Times or a website like Buzzfeed, and the writing is totally different for both. Can you be more specific?”
- You can also just talk about things in the proposal you find especially cool or exciting.
WRITE: Answer the “Know Your Publication” Questions for the publication/site/location where YOU would like to publish your Unit 3 assignment if you could.
