My rough draft -

 

The article is based on a study that was conducted just months ago, with its findings indicating that bullying has psychological impacts that can affected the bullied party’s entire life. Many aspects of life, including income, educational performance, and social functioning can be affected by bullying through the lifetime. While this is a presentation based on research data, controversies may rise, owing to many other theories that seek to explain some of these aspects of life, such those exemplifying genetic characteristics as the only determinants of such things as social development and functioning. In addition, many researchers discuss the psychological impacts of bullying in the short term context. In an effort to the author to appeal to the audience, she uses three strong rhetorical strategies, including primary data, extensive research (conducted in multiple states), and the use of common examples.

    The article makes an effort to express the impacts of bullying in as simple a way as possible, presenting that chances are some people still remember the name of that bully who stole their lunch money or pushed them down the stairs 30 years ago” (Bowerman, 2014). While few studies may have made similar assertions, the new study conducted by Bowerman (2014) presents that the detrimental effects of bullying may extend long into the life of the victim. Such extended impacts may include low income, poor educational performance, and poor social functioning, and cognitive health problems.

    The researcher’s message on the issue is clear, indicating that there is a strong possibility that the impacts of bullying will exists decades after the incidences have taken place. Rather than assuming a contenting position, the author of this article seeks more appeal basing her presentation on a causal relationship, clearly and simply expressed by use of an example; remembering the name of the person who stole one’s lunch money or pushed one down the stairs 30 years ago. This is an effective rhetorical strategy that appears quite convincing for someone who has been through some of the most common bullying experiences, which can also be said to invoke emotional memories for part of the audience that has faced similar experiences.

This strategy is further presented by an additional rhetorical tool, which is the use of primary data to support the argument, which significantly enhances the credibility of the study. For instance, the author indicates that, of the population studied, 3.1 percent of those unemployed had never been bullied while 5.7 percent had been bullied (Bowerman, 2014). This approach also serves to make the presentation more rational or logical. These are three key strategies that make the article quite appealing to its audience, which can be said to be considerably effective.

    Having been one of the most studied areas in recent history in the field of psychology, the length of time for which its impacts last becomes quite relevant. This article uses the aforementioned rhetorical strategies to hammer its point home, that these impacts may last decades after. Owing to the these strategies, especially the use of examples to invoke emotional memories, which could drive one to even remember the name of his or her bully, this article is effectively presented and convincing.
