Brainstorming March 16th

1. What is a problem/issue that our entire student body (our school, community, country, etc.) faces today?
- Narrowmindedness, especially when it comes to social situations (homosexuality, in particular)

2. What is your view/position on the problem or situation?
- It's upsetting for me to see people being judgemental towards their peers, just because of their sexual orientation.

3. What would you like to achieve with your editorial? (What is the desired result?)
- I want people to see that an issue DOES exist with students acting a certain way towards others, and that the issue needs to be addressed.

4. How will you persuade your audience to adopt your viewpoint as theirs? List at least 4 persuasive points.
- Persuade them that while they don't have to agree with my opinion, but they do need to change their actions
- Acceptance will benefit ALL people
- Those affected by this issue suffer huge emotional stresses

5. How will you motivate your readership to action in your conclusion?
- Give personal stories of those affected by this issue

6. How will your editorial serve a public purpose?
- It's an issue that people face everyday, and by changing actions (even minorly), a huge difference could be made.
