The rhetorical situation is emerging thusly. I am asking the question, "What is the best way to treat depression?". The context is someone with direct experience with the disorder asking the question to not only satisfy a scholastic requirement, but to find an answer that will prove helpful to other people who may be dealing with the disorder. The intended audience is anyone who willingly or unwillingly encounters this disorder in themselves or those around them, particularly college students.
WP#1 will lay out my bottom line research question and analyze the rhetorical situation in regards to how I will carry out answering that question. It will be in the context of structuring a plan for further research that will be used to construct a specific argument in WP#3. WP#1 is an effort to focus the topic, examine the audience and purposes of the proposed project, and otherwise establish a rhetorical stance. WP#3 will present the fruits of the research in an argumentative format. While my main audience for WP#1 is myself (and my instructor), the main audience for WP#3 will be those that I want to influence with my research findings.
