Assignment task: Please provide an argument agreeing with the critique in the paragraph(s) below.
Please provide two or three sources if you choose.
The Memorandum on Support of the Federal Child Labor Amendment is a call to action that lacks basic structure and information. The first paragraph addresses the problem and outlines necessary actions, but lacks detail and fidelity. The language is difficult to follow and requires multiple readings to understand the premise. The format conveys the message in an evasive manner, leaving the reader questioning how actions are to be completed. The author should have provided background information, problem statement, ideas on how to solve the problem, and actions to be taken.
If the author were to revise the memo, they would provide the necessary information, simplify the language, and direct the actions of the intended audience. The memo should include background information, problem statement, ideas on how to solve the problem, and actions to be taken. Supporters must actively work to combat the opposition by sending letters to the State and local branches, highlighting the benefits of the Amendment, and using the same avenues of distribution, literature, radio broadcasts, and editorials to negate the arguments set forth by the opposition.
The most important information to document is how actions affect the outcome or public perception of the issue, which is difficult to quantify and will only be evident during policy voting and implementation.
