The source for my paper C is an article by the The Body- The Complete AIDS/HIV Resource. The article is called Policy Facts: Needle Exchange Facts. This article basically gave me a lot of information on my topic, and on my stand. It explained the statistics behind the information, and it explained that clean needle exchange programs work, and they work without increasing the drug population. The argument is basically what I will be proving in my paper as well- clean needle exchange programs do work, and they do not increase the drug user population. The target audience is either citizens or health care workers that are against these programs for one reason or another. Either they believe that the programs are ineffective, or they believe that the programs will increase drug use because of the lessened chance of blood-borne disease transfer. The goal of this source and my paper is to prove that this is not the case. It is to prove that the exchange programs are safe, and that they do reduce the risk of blood-borne disease transmission. The argument is made by ethos, and logos. The ethos comes by the authority of statistics and numbers. If enough data is produced to prove that the programs are effective, than we should believe it. The argument is made by logos because after the data and statistics show what the programs can do, it is logical to agree with a system or program that works. I believe that it is sufficient- it explains everything in detail, and it proves some important points within the article. It is typical for this type of article, and it is relevant for the audience.
