Persuasive writing

Government reaction to refugees

The issue of refugees is becoming a very hot topic in the US, such that even the citizens have taken sides and are divided. While some of them agree that refugees are a bother to the people of the US and the whole nation, some of them think that these are people who are suffering and who deserve help. It is not very clear what the government is planning for them, but it seems they are not for the refugees. The government has tried to write bills so as to stop the refugees from coming to the US, but because some people think that this is inhuman, they detest until the ban is lifted. However, there are those people who are on the government side and who argue that they cause insecurity to the people of the US, and that they are not welcome in the states. Even after the detesting by the people, refugees continue to show up in the States and though with reluctance, the government continues to offer them support. I am of the opinion that these people should be helped because if one is not needy, he cannot leave his country to seek help in another country.

Healthcare insurance ban

Removal of the healthcare insurance, which extended to everybody, is another issue in the US, which is causing a lot of heat. It shows that the government is not caring for the poor and the less fortunate but is only about the rich. This is not fair especially in a country where some citizens are totally poor and they do not have a way they can cover medical aids. However, some people think that the government is doing well because it can help save public resources, of which I am strongly opposed to. There is a need to take care of the poor people also, and those who are unable to afford medical services. Otherwise, it will show the US as a nation that does not have compassionate people, but people who are willing to offer help outside while the inside is burning.

Importance of persuasion

By persuading my audience, I wish to convince them that they are on the wrong side and have them come to my side. By so doing, the issues that are controversial will be corrected and ultimately, all people will have justice in the US. The poor and the rich alike will have the opportunity to smile and look at the US as their nation. The refugees will also get full support and the US could have done a favor before man and God. My audience remains the US government and the citizens at large. I wish that they look at these issues from the perspective of those suffering; the refugees who are running away from war and the poor who are dying each day because of lack of medical costs. In addition, convincing them that my side is the best will enable them to look at the way the whole world is viewing the US, such that they can change and create a positive image of the nation.
