Blog Assignment 7

When writing, it is important to consider the audience. Each audience should be addressed differently in order to show respect and keep them engaged in the writing. I wouldn't write a very long and complex paper describing chemical processes to a group of 1st graders. While at the same time, I would not write in simple sentences and small words to one of my superiors. That's just common sense. I don't believe that writing for different audiences takes away from my freedom of speech. It IS possible to portray the same message to different audiences. I do understand that some audiences wouldn’t be receptive to certain messages, but that’s the beauty of living in the country that we do. Even if our audience doesn’t agree with it, we still have every right to say it. Because they won’t like what we have to say doesn’t mean that we don’t say it. We should be careful with how we say it though. Our opinions are our right, but we should not jam them down the throats of others. We all have the right to believe what we want to believe.
