<h3>What’s a root cause?</h3>
<p>The Collins English Dictionary defines "root cause" as the fundamental reason for the occurrence of a problem. In short: Root causes are an issue’s activator—they identify why an issue is happening.</p>
<p>Often you’ll have to look for the why in a lot of places in order to get to the root causes.</p>
<p><b>Example – Rachel's Gold Award</b>: <i>Rachel is passionate about ocean conservation. She asks <b>why</b> ocean pollution happens and lists several causes, including acid rain, soil runoff, and oil spills. She remembers witnessing the harmful impact of a major oil spill in her local ecosystem and decides to learn more about why oil spills happen. Rachel reaches out to experts and, after additional research, learns that a lack of safety protocols for oil storage is one of the root causes. She chooses to create a project that addresses how oil storage can be made safer to prevent spills.</i></p>

<p>
<b>Example Target Audiences <br /> </b>Your target audience may
include one or more of the following groups:</p>
<ul> <li>Adults</li> <li>Educators</li> <li>Elected officials</li>
<li>Business owners</li> <li>Infants and toddlers</li> <li>Children
of preschool age</li> <li>Children of elementary school age</li>
<li>Children of middle school age</li> <li>Retired adults</li>
<li>People with physical disabilities</li> <li>People with mental
illness</li> </ul>
<p>Make sure to be specific. For instance, you might be reaching
elementary school children in science classes, high school students in
band, or parents of kids with mental illness.<br /> </p>
<p>
<b>Stuck? Consider these possibilities, or identify your own!</b></p>
<p>Your target audience might…</p>
<ul> <li>Demonstrate a deeper understanding of the skill or issue</li>
<li>Demonstrate a change in a choice, behavior, or habit</li>
<li>Become an advocate for the issue/tell others about it</li>
<li>Become a volunteer/get involved in an actionable way</li>
<li>Teach others a new skill</li> <li>Earn a grade (in school
settings only)</li> <li>Other</li> </ul>
<p>Remember: be specific! Will your audience complete a survey or pass
a test to demonstrate a deeper understanding of a skill or issue? How
are they telling others about the issue?</p>
<p>
<b>Before you dive in, learn how your target audience likes to be addressed.</b></p>
<p>This is especially important if you’ll be working with or on behalf
of people who are marginalized by society. Different groups—and
different people within a given group—have different preferences when
it comes to how they like to be talked and written about. For example…</p>
<ul> <li>person who is deaf / deaf person (<a

Indigenous person</li> <li>mixed race / biracial / multiracial</li>
<li>genderqueer / nonbinary / gender fluid</li> <li>senior citizen /
senior / older person / elder</li> </ul>
<p>Find out how the people you’re representing prefer to be
written/talked about (ideally by asking them directly), and
accommodate their preferences to the best of your ability through
every stage of your project. </p>
