Initiating Action

Both of my previous papers have been calling for change within my community. For this assignment, however, I am focusing primarily on bringing about change, rather than explaining why the change needs to occur. I plan to appeal to Quakers to become more involved in Peace Education again and warn them against letting the movement be taken over and manipulated by private groups. The reason Peace Education is experiencing some current success is it is gaining recognition, however if private groups ruin the programs reputation by failing to teach properly there will be no future hope for the concept. I am considering two primary media genres, either a newspaper article, or a speech. I am leaning towards writing a speech to deliver at a large national Quaker Conference. My plan I to make an outline of what I want to say and then determine which genre will allow me to best express my points.
