Statement of Goals and Choices

My PowerPoint presentation focuses on the fashion industry's environmental impact,

aiming to educate and raise awareness among a diverse audience. The primary goal of this piece
is to inform the audience about the various environmental issues associated with the fashion
industry and inspire them to make more sustainable choices in their clothing consumption and
lifestyle.
One of my critical rhetorical choices was to use compelling visuals, which included
images. These visuals were selected to evoke an emotional response and make the audience
empathize with the environmental consequences of fast fashion. To engage the audience, I used
storytelling as a rhetorical strategy. The narratives aimed to humanize the issue and make it
relatable to the audience, emphasizing that their clothing choices have real-world consequences.
In terms of audience, I considered a diverse range of individuals, from fashion enthusiasts to
consumers. To address this varied audience, I ensured the content was accessible and not overly
technical. I also incorporated a call to action, encouraging viewers to make sustainable choices in
their clothing purchases, support ethical fashion brands, and advocate for industry reforms. I
considered several alternative approaches. One idea was to create a more data-driven and
academic presentation, which would have been suitable for a specialized audience interested in
environmental science or fashion industry professionals. I chose a more accessible and
emotionally engaging approach to reach a broader audience and inspire everyday consumers to
take action. Another consideration was the tone of the presentation. I could have taken a more
aggressive and critical style towards the fashion industry, but I decided to strike a balance
between highlighting the problems and offering solutions.
In conclusion, the PowerPoint presentation on the fashion industry's environmental
impact aims to educate, inspire, and engage a diverse audience. My rhetorical choices, including
visuals, storytelling, and a balanced tone, were carefully considered to achieve these goals. I
chose this approach over others to maximize the reach and effectiveness of the message and
inspire positive change in the fashion industry and consumer behavior.
