Question

Roosevelt addressed multiple audiences, each with different needs and concerns why would creating a sense of urgency from the start be a good strategy in this situation?

Answer 1

Creating a sense of urgency right away will help Roosevelt make sure all of the different groups he is addressing are listening right away. When the stakes are high, people tend to pay more attention. This way, they will be focused for when he addresses them or their cause specifically, and more general statements he make will feel more important because the people will apply them to their own causes.
