Analyzing Purpose

1) After people read or listen to my public argument, I want them to understand and respect both sides of the argument, but also be able to understand my point of view on the importance of this telescope and our future. I want them to see how I respect the cultural views of native Hawaiians and their religious practices along with the environmental issues at Mauna Kea, but more importantly I want them to understand how this telescope is causing no harm to the land and bringing many benefits to our society and even Mauna Kea itself. 

2) Plausible actions and reactions.

• It would be plausible for people to start researching about the controversy and staying up to date 
• It would be plausible for people to start supporting TMT through social media
• It would be plausible for people to start focusing on the future and how this telescope might help
• It would be plausible for Native Hawaiians to understand the importance for this telescope to be built on Mauna Kea
• It would be plausible to protest on the controversy 

Not Plausible

• Not plausible to find a new place for the telescope to be built
• Not plausible to stop the construction of TMT 
• Not plausible to stop all of the protestors 
• Not plausible to put all the protestors in jail 
• Not plausible to ignore the cultural significance of Mauna Kea 

3) After people read or listen to this statement it is plausible for them to start posting about the positives of TMT and its significance towards our future. It could then blow up in the social media world, making native Hawaiians learn more about TMT along with many other people against the project. After it spreads across the country and or world, Native Hawaiians could see the viewpoints from the other side of the controversy, making them understand and believe in the TMT project. Further on stopping the controversy between the protestors and construction workers, making the project easy to finish and begin collecting data, giving benefits to everyone. 

4) The audience or group of people I am trying to speak two can be split into to groups. The first group would be Native Hawaiians, along with any others,  who believe that nothing should be placed on their sacred land. This group of people mainly believe that TMT should not be placed on Mauna Kea. Some of them may be educated on the insights and goals of TMT, but I think that most of them aren't. I want to reach out to them because if they can understand that the project isnt hurting the land and is very beneficial, it could eventually lead to the end of this controversy. My second audience is a group of people who don't know much about the controversy but can start contributing. I am aiming towards mostly students with a background or any knowledge of Astronomy. I want to reach out to them and display the importance of this project, so they can start sharing their opinions publicly to spread the idea.
