Whether
writing an essay, a novel, or just a blog, it is always important to understand
who your audience is. After all, your audience determines how you write. Whether
it be to a professor, to your mom, to someone that hates you, or to someone
that loves you, who your writing to is what defines your paper. My second paper
in this class identifies what stereotypes are, how they come about, and how
they are used in a video game called Dragon
Age, and how they play a part in the conflicts between Templars and Mages
in the insuing war between them, explaining how it was both a societal effect
from past events, along with fear of the possibility of dangers that both sides
presented to each other that brought forth such a biased hatred for each other.
For this, my audience is whoever wishes to understand the reasoning behind
Stereotypes and how they form, or someone that has been affected by Stereotypes
in their life and want to know how stereotypes are justified in our society,
basically it is an informative paper using instances in Dragon Age, more specifically, the Mage-Templar war, in order to
explain the reasons and causes of stereotypes.
