In my essay on gender I am going to argue that current gender roles are purely socially constructed and when looked at in a non biased way can easily be recognized as such. The purpose of this essay would be to educate people on the complexity of gender and to let them get a better understanding of something that affects us everyday but is rarely discussed. The audience for this paper will be everybody because this topic affects everyone.
I will use definition to describe both gender roles as they are generally recognized currently in our society. I will then compare and contrast them and discuss the double standards that both sides face.
I will also use exemplification to give concrete examples of scenarios where gender roles would be restrictive. I would also use narration in these examples.
I will appeal to the audience using ethos by stating how this has affected me personally which will add to my credibility while also using the emotional appeal pathos.
In the middle of the essay I will discuss why gender roles are what they are today using the writing mode "process". This will allow the audience to gain background context of the issue. I am choosing to do this in the middle instead of in the intro so that the audience first gains an understanding of how gender roles aren't actually real before giving background.
I will also do research and present facts regarding this issue to gain credibility around solid factual evidence. Some statistics that I'm hoping to find are: How many people believe they fit into their gender category perfectly? How many people believe that gender is purely related to biological sex? How many transgender people are there in the U.S.? By getting real numbers and percentages for these questions I will be able to form an essay that isn't pure speculation but is actually grounded in numbers and facts.
