Pay Gap Between Men And Women

Men and women both have a stake in this issue. Women would care more about my position and it would benefit them more because the information mainly pertains to them. Anyone (men or women) uninformed needs to be made aware of the issue and my viewpoints. Women are more impacted by the issue so therefore, they will need the most convincing. My intended audience has not changed since first writing my argument outline. While my argument is to prove that there are many facts that prove the pay gap is currently being portrayed grossly inaccurate, I acknowledge the fact that there is some kind of pay gap issue because of personal life decisions, not simply because women aren’t being treated equally to men. So, one thing we can all agree on is there

is undoubtedly a pay gap. One of the main argument in opposition to my argument will probably be men make more than women in their first year after graduating, even when components such as institutions, grades, majors, and others factors are taken into account. While I do completely understand how valid that point is, it can feel misleading, as it doesn't automatically account for dissimilarities in hours worked, maternity leave and time off for child care, or the relative productiveness of different career paths and fields of study that men and women pursue. I would probably include their argument at the beginning of my paper because studies have shown the people will tune out what they are reading within the first five minutes if the reading material comes across as too strong or offensive. Including arguments that oppose your views, show that you’re open to listening to the views of others and may have more of a chance of catching the eye of individuals with opposing viewpoints and possibly changing their views on the topic.
