1. Please state your specific purpose statement.

There are various portrayals and discussions regarding domestic violence. However, little has been achieved on its awareness front. I would be discussing more awareness on domestic violence.

1. Explain why you are particularly interested in this topic. (

United Nations (n.d.) defines domestic violence as a “pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner… [comprising] physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person” (para. 1). The occurrence predisposition to close relations make the behavior often go unquestioned. These attributes further make the behavior effec all gender, race, class, sexual orientation, and ages.

1. Why do you believe this topic is relevant or essential for your audience to hear? (pathos)

Thebehavior does not bias between or among common human dispositions such as race, gender, or affiliations. Domestic violence could affect everyone. Moreover, the main concern regarding domestic violence is the propensity of the abuse to enhance in severity and frequency after the initial expression, which takes the form of economic, physical, mental, or combination (United Nations, n.d.). This behavior is nessecary for people to make more efforts by to raise more awareness.

1. Describe the organizational pattern you use to outline your main points (problem-solution, problem-cause-solution, etc. )

I utilize the problem-cause-solution organizational pattern to highlight the various factors concerning domestic violence. The problems involve the behavior itself. Meanwhile, the causes include economic, physical, and mental abuse that affects domestic violence. The solution regards the proposal to raise more awareness on the issue to enhance its address.

1. What questions or objections might your audience have to the claim or argument being made that you will address/refute in your speech?

The domestic violence topic is broad in scope and extent at the communal level (United Nations, n.d.). Therefore, several issues and questions might arise in its address for more awareness. They include the current awareness measures in place to address domestic violence. Secondly, the audience might be interested in knowing if the current measures are working and to what extent. Lastly, there may be a concern about the confidentiality of expression since the issue primarily affects people close to each other.

1. Lastly, do you have any questions you would like to pose to your peers reading this response?

Are my ideas of more awareness about domestic violence credible? Did Iaddress domestic violence’s critical factors, such as who it affects?what would be the best way to handle such a topic?
