Who is most likely the main audience for a documentary on global warming? A) women
B) young children
C) school principals
D) adults

CLASS: English 1B

B) young children

Documentaries are one avenue for education, which is suitable for young minds. Also, it's important they understand what the world may be like later down the road when they get older. Unfortunately the process of climate change is something we all have to deal with young or old. The younger generation will be more effected because the older generations will die off by that time in the later future.

One could argue that adults are a good audience as well. This is because adults would have a more serious mindset. Though I think they may not see it as important if the documentary is talking about some far off date in the future. It will depend on the person of course. Not everyone is the same.

We can definitely rule out choices A and C because global warming effects everyone, and not just women or principals.

tori my good dear. let's talk here

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
