Audience

My issues paper is on micro finance and why it is better than other donation programs.The audience for my issues paper is: middle class Americans that have the desire to help the impoverished. I think that they value helping people out. They realize that they are very fortunate and that there are a lot of people around the world that do not have it as good as they do, so they want to help. Their counterclaim would be why is micro finance a better option than just donating straight to the people. My claim would be initially disagreeable to them because they might not understand exactly what micro finance is, and they might also think that it doesn't help poor people as much as a straight donation. I am assuming that they want to find the best option that will truly help the impoverished improve their standard of living.
