Jen Thompson wants to write a paper on bullying in response to an assignment for her college English course. As part of the process, she develops the following statement.
I want to convince employers that establishing a workplace bullying policy is not enough, rather, they must also enforce and maintain the policy regularly. To do this, I will need to convince them first that bullying is a problem; second, that it is to their benefit to take action; and third that they should take the action that I recommend. I can convince them that bullying is a problem that they need to take action to prevent by describing how bullying makes their workplaces less productive. This will convince them that they have a need to implement my suggested policies. I will know that my writing succeeds if my readers establish, enforce, and maintain anti-bullying policies.
