Pamphlet thy name is Size Discrimination

For my topic I will be handing out pamphlets with Gena at Trumbull mall in front of Abercrombie and Fitch. Whether the people are passing by or coming in we will hand them the packet. We thought this plan was appropriate because a video and essay seemed unrealistic. No one will really watch a video on size discrimination unless they care or know about it and some people don’t know or care about it. So the best idea seemed like taking imitative and handing people packets so we know they are receiving it and they can skim or quickly read through it and still learn something.
I want everyone to know about size discrimination and I want to address the people who have had it happen to them. I want the people who have had experience to know they are not alone and this is an actual problem. I want them to know that they do not have to tolerate this and that they should stand up for themselves and take action. When I address everyone else I want to inform them of this problem if they don’t know about it really. I want them to know this is serious and that companies really do this to people and this is no better than segregation.
I will be using a lot of pathos, ethos, and pathos. I will be talking about my personal experience and telling people how hurt and angry I was. I will also be using quotes that companies have said about having a plus size section. I will also be using some sarcasm.
I want my readers to understand this is a problem and that people come in all shapes and sizes. Not all those sizes should be labeled fat and obese. There are plenty of healthy thick women and I want them to know they are beautiful no matter what. Their size shouldn't define their beauty. It’s not that they aren't beautiful is why they can’t wear cute clothes it’s the companies faults. They can’t properly take care of the plus size section.

My readers through this pamphlet should be able to open their eyes and see the differences if they haven’t about plus size clothes. Notice that the clothing styles and colors of the plus size women look so dull compared to that of the skinnier size. That certain clothes stop at a certain size for a reason.

  1. I think that standing in front of A and F is a great idea! You will target the audience in which you hope to persuade. I agree with not doing a video or essay; that type of media won't be effective in persuading your audience. Overall, it seems like you have good idea of what you plan to do.
