In this discussion forum, you will identify individuals and/or groups who are interested in the problem, people who should be interested in the problem, and people who can be part of the potential solution.

Age, Gender, Culture, Religious beliefs, Education level, Occupation. Describe the possible psychographic concerns your target audience may have. Consider the following:
Preexisting ideas about the issue.
Personal or group biases.
Prior experiences with the issue.
Based on possible psychographic concerns you find, formulate a communication plan based on what you want your audience to know about the problem.
As stated in the course textbook,
Know is to create a persuasive message that is informative and fact-based from the data collected about the problem.
Feel is to influence the audience’s emotions by appealing to their interests, passions, and concerns.
