3. Calisthenic people

4. Doctors

What they believe?

1. Cardio and calisthenic people would disagree and see their way of working out as better

2. Athletes and doctors would somewhat disagree because they believe that it can be used with more athletic lifts

Convince

1. I want to convince them that weightlifting is the most optimal thing they can do for their physical and mental health.

Background info

• Athletes- some think it will help improve performance in their sport others know its harmful.

• Parents+Coaches- think it could help athlete perform better or they know that it is a health risk and not fair

• Doctors- some might think it helps athletes recover from injuries, some think its a health risk

• HS/College teams and ADs

Common Ground:

Everyone could agree that the competition should be fair and there are real risks.

I would want my audience to know: Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs):

• could be a bad influence on other athletes in the future.

Parents (partially agree)

Children (disagree)

Teachers (Partially agree)

Doctors (agree)

Electronic companies (disagree)

Online Apps (disagree)

What do they believe?

Parents teachers and doctors all kind of fall in the same category to different extents. They primarily believe that increased screen time for kids is definitely effecting kids negatively. Some may believe that ANY screen time is bad while other believe lots is bad.

Children, electronic companies and online apps completely disagree with this for many reasons. The apps and product companies disagree because people using their product keeps them in business and benefits them. They don’t really care about a child’s wellbeing. Children disagree because it is entertainment for them.

I want to convince all parties that excess screen time is bad. Without completely cutting out ALL screen time because it does have some benefits.

Background information on studies and polls taken from kids that have had lots of time on devices and kids who haven’t had as much time on devices to prove the overall negative effects of LOTS of screen time. Common ground is shown by everyone wants the best for their kids, so getting to show people how they can be healthiest. I want my audience to be aware of how they are putting their kid/can be putting future kids at risk because they allow their kid to stare at a screen instead of building a relationship and having fun with real world things.

What do they believe?

Economics

-Neuroscientists

-Parents

-Therapists

The People who will disagree with my paper but should read it are,

-Preteens

-Teenagers

-Communities of people

-What a neuroscientist believes in when it comes to social media is that they will agree that it has a impact on the wiring/development on the brain.

-What a Parent believes in when it come to social media is for the best with their kids so solving a problem that is caused by social media might be in their best interest.

-What a Therapists believes in when it comes to social media is that it has a effect on personality, and mental health.

-What Preteens believes in when it comes to social media as creative and fun, social validation, and prevents them from missing out.

-What Teenagers like about social media is social comparison, privacy/control over the things you send, and peer influence.

-Communities of people like about social media is that it help people stay in contact, and it makes it very easy to share information.

-The way I can convince that social media is bad for use in early age is that it has a big impact on brain development and can causes a lot of mental problems to people that will make it very hard for them to shake off.

-For background information there is not much :(

-How I can share common ground with the audience im trying to reach is that I also use social media in everyday life and I can see why certain people love it but want to get rid of it.

-The message that im trying to leave for them is that just because social media helps not notice your problems doesn't mean your problems aren't there.
