Audience

2/12/12

 

             When reviewing the “know your audience discussions” I was able to make some interesting assumptions. I don’t know if I really know my audience from this discussion, but I can tell you I have learned a few things about myself as well as people in general. There were many people that said there attitude was red. The reasons for this choose were mainly fiery or bold. This made me wonder:  Do most people in this class have a tendency to anger easily? This is what I think of when I think red attitude. I also think it could be a way to keep people at a distance.

                We also learned that most people in the class believe that when we die we will go to a better place. This wasn’t a huge revelation. The places most people would like to live depend on other factors in their lives. Generally if people were going to live elsewhere it would be closer to home or somewhere that they had an experience of some sort. I think that this tells us we tend to be nostalgic.  People have many different things they enjoy doing. I was surprised that most of us enjoy completely different hobbies. We are from all around the country and not many of us would trade a day with someone or something else.

                All-in-all we are very different people that happen to be brought together by a single thing. While we share lots of the same ideas we also differ on opinions and preferences. I think that the people in this class represent a good portion of the different ideas and opinions of society. From previous discussions I have noticed that this class represents all different backgrounds, beliefs, ages, and stages in life.
