In my research essay I go into lots of numbers and statistics which help to support the topic that I am looking into which is ‘do immigrants steal jobs’. My audience is generally political figures who are either for or against immigrants and immigration as well as the general population so they can be informed and can draw their own conclusions on the data even if the data does point towards one “answer”. The reason I am doing this topic is because I want to bring knowledge to people who fall into headline bias or listen to any possible misinformation and don’t do their own personal research on the topic and take the information as fact. While it does seem like people have come to question the validity of what government officials say there are still a plenty majority who don’t. While this research essay topic is somewhat personal most of the statistics and research citied are from the government and organizations.
