1) Our Topic: Era of "the domestic housewife" is ending
2) What we want to say in this ongoing argument: We agree that this “era” is ending. We're trying to argue that It’s not a bad thing, it's become more of the norm especially during the recession. More men are staying at home because more women were able to keep their jobs. Ultimately, we are supporting this change in attitude.
3) Target audiences:
-Young men of marrying age (all races , middle/high class)
-Women of marrying age of (all races, middle/high class)
-Young/middle-aged married couples (all races, middle/high class)
4) Genres/mediums we plan on using for this argument:
- Facebook group- Targeting all three audiences
- Apron- Targeting men. We want to make it appealing to them so that they don’t feel emasculated by staying at home.
- Article- Targeting married couples in a men’s magazine…saying that it's okay to stay home and be, "Mr. Mom".
I really like your groups idea for unit 3. I also support the attitude change and I think this will make a very good project. Also, using an apron as one of your mediums/genres that targets men is a very unique and fun idea!
ReplyDeleteWow now this is interesting. I think the facebook page will have a lot of likers. I think the mens magazine idea is very creative and effective.
ReplyDeleteIn a time with focus of our culture being in technology and other less important topics, I find it interesting that your group chose such a basic idea. This is great! What is more permeative than this question? an because it is such a cornerstone of society it has vast potential for a great argument.
