Politics of Writing

The politics of writing can be very useful. They shape how you get your ideas across to your audience. To use a cliche to help explain politics, "Its not what you say, it's how you say it," pretty much explains politics. For example, if you're writing an essay for elementary school children you're not going to fill it with scientific terms, when on the other hand if you're writing an essay to scientists, this would be very appropriate. Politics of writing distinguish between what is and isn't appropriate based on who your audience is.
