Rhetorical Situations

According to Bitzer, a rhetorical situation is one that features three 'constituents': exigence, audience, and constraints.

In this thread, briefly describe one rhetorical situation that you have encountered (outside of our class) during the first week of the semester. Incorporate Bitzer's terminology and analytical framework in your description, paying special attention to the three constituents.
