1. What is a problem/issue that our entire student body (our school, community, country, etc.) faces today?
Less than 40% of people have more than $20,000 saved for retirement. Generally, atleast a couple hundred thousand dollars is required to retire comfortably.
2. What is your view/position on the problem or situation?
People need help saving money towards retirement. Rather it be from pension plans or social security, many need more help if they hope to retire and not live in poverty.
3. What would you like to achieve with your editorial? (What is the desired result?)
Realize how sad the reality of an 80 or 90 year old working is because they can't afford to retire.
4. How will you persuade your audience to adopt your viewpoint as theirs? List at least 4 persuasive points.
The old woman hoping to retire is a cute old lady that people can pitty. She's injured from years of working. She's working a low level job because she can't handle responsibility or stress of higher level jobs. Also, she still is not close to retirement.
5. How will you motivate your readership to action in your conclusion?
Hopefully they will think about their parents who might be facing this problem and try to create a better situation for them. Either by supporting taz increases to pay for social security or by taking iniative and saving up for them.
6. How will your editorial serve a public purpose?
This problem is on the back burner in most political discussions, but it is too important to stay there.
