- Purpose: In our culture, a majority of people enjoy drinking alcohol and most of them take it too far. The largest killer of Americans is alcohol and a disease called Alcoholism. Most people learn of the consequences from an early age, but take it lightly. More people need to be educated on the effects of alcohol mentally, physically, and emotionally.
- Audience: Overdoses, poisoning, and death from alcohol occur in all age groups from adolescense to elderly, and in all ethnicities and genders. The audience needs to research statistics, consequences, illnesses, etc. about drinking alcohol. Also, the audience needs to know their personal limit if and when drinking.
- Context: I am motivated on the topic of the abuse of alcohol because I have seen too many people negatively effected by it. My dad is an alcoholic and I have seen it ruin his life. He recently was dignosed with Hep-C caused from too much alcohol and his liver has many problems. Too many people think it is okay to drink and drive, yet they almost always get pulled over and get DUI's. Alcohol related diseases are a huge killer of Americans and most people don't even know about them.
Space
- Purpose: To educate people about the effects of abusing alcohol. Many people would benefit from this topic, especially people my age (18) and people younger and older. People under 21 think drinking alcohol looks cool because they are underage yet do not consider the facts and statistics. In our society, teens become addicted to alcohol before they are even old enough to drink and that is a problem.
- Audience: The audience can learn and spread knowledge to impact this issue.
- Context: The resources I have are firsthand experience from my dad. His long time use of alcohol shows the long term side effects that show up later in life. I will also use the internet for more information.
