QUESTION 1: SOCIAL PERSUASION Read the following social persuasive text
closely and answer the question that follows. Answer the following question
in full. Write a carefully-worded essay of 1000 ��� 1200 words
(approximately 2 to 3 typed pages) in length, in which you critically analyse
the content of the persuasive text below. Begin your essay by BRIEFLY
establishing what the text is about, who the target audience is, and what the
persuasive purpose is. For each of these, your response should not be more
than two sentences. Ensure that the majority of your essay body is an
extensive critical analysis of the persuasive strategies (persuasive appeals
and linguistic devices) used in the text. This means you do not only need to
identify the persuasive strategies (including the linguistic devices used for
this purpose), but you also need to explain how they have been used. Ignore
the ellipses […] and do not comment on them! ENG2602/103/0/2025 7 One

Justice, 02 August, 2023. So, this happened… in May 2023, Namibia’s
Supreme Court passed a progressive ruling that its government must
recognise the unions of same-sex couples concluded in foreign countries
where it was legal to do so. Though this step is recognised as somewhat
progressive, for Namibia it is a bit of a conundrum due to the fact that same-
sex marriage remains illegal in Namibia itself. Sexual relations between men
are still considered a criminal offence in Namibia, however the law is seldom
enforced in this respect. This ruling is in contrast with the developments in
Uganda, in the same month of May 2023, the legislature promulgated one of
the harshest anti-LGBTIQ laws to date. The new law punishes what it calls
“aggravated homosexuality” with the death penalty, criminalises
transmission of HIV/AIDS through gay sex and prescribes a 20-year sentence
for “promoting” homosexuality. Same-sex relations were already illegal, not
only in Uganda and Namibia alone, but in more than 30 African countries
altogether. In other countries like Mauritania, Somalia, and some Nigerian
