huntinsonovagun Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I have persuasive speech to do and give by Monday, but I can't think of a good topic. Everyone is gonna do abortion, death penalty, etc, but I want something different. Thought about doing gun control, since I wrote an essay already and have the material, but my last speech was an informative about archery. Seems all my papers, speeches, anything like that, have to deal with deer, hunting, etc. What can I persuade people to believe?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sagitarius Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Re: What persuasive speech can I give?? Think of something that you were interested in but never persued. That way you can broaden your horizons. I did an informative speech on how to run an overhead crane once because I wanted to learn how to use it for my last job. I showed my boss this speech and I was trained on how to run the crane and was able to get off the floor scrubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sagitarius Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Re: What persuasive speech can I give?? Take a stance on clean water issues and take it from a stance of a non sportsman. Look into how much clean water affects everyone, not just outdoors men and women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palssonater Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Re: What persuasive speech can I give?? Hmmmm....polution is always an easy one. 1) 2stroke vs. 4stroke motors - Environmental impact, efficiency, process, vehicles, etc.... 2) Advantages of Hydro-electricity over nuclear, coal, gas 3) Alternate Vehicle Options (eg. hybrids) Just some of the things that I have done over the years of school.

Strut_Buster Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Re: What persuasive speech can I give?? I've had that problem. In a pursuasive essay you must pick a topic your passionate about to get the most succes. I've done speeches about wolves, gun control, pirateing music and the RIAA, and countless research papers. My latest one was relateing courtly love to modern american courtship, relateing gladiators to modern professional athlets, proving that Alexander the Great was a better military leader than Napoleon. I think that if you have an issue in mind and feel that you can stress your point. Maybe make people see your side in a different light. Gun Control is a good subject. I understand the outdoors is a major part of you life and the second ammendment is the heart of your love. But sometimes its good to pick a different subject. Just pick the one you are comfortable with and can get into passionatly and you'll get the **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntinsonovagun Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Re: What persuasive speech can I give?? OK guys...I think I have come up with one.....Minimum Wage increase. I am totally against it, but I do have a question. If Minimum wage was increased, would or wouldn't that mean more income tax going back to the government?? I feel like it would, but I am not exactly sure. It only makes since to me since the more money you make, the more money you give to the government. Let me know how this works.

Strut_Buster Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Re: What persuasive speech can I give?? if minimum wage was increased you would see a short term of people buying more and more... but in the long run the goods that are innealastic or normal goods the prices would raise.

Chrud Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Re: What persuasive speech can I give?? I did one last year on why I thought my XTEC was a better buy than my buddy's AR. Even got to bring both to school and shoot them, but that was for another speech. You could do one on why you believe Mathews is the best archery company.

RangerClay Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Re: What persuasive speech can I give?? Back in 1992 when doing my grad work I had to do a persuasive speech for my public speaking class. I did it on trapping. Brought in different types of traps, discussed pain thresholds of animals vs humans, coyotes eating pets in suburban areas, etc. etc. etc. It went very well. There were some that would not agree no matter what (PETA Freaks) but I made strides forward. I got an A because my teacher said I took on one the most difficult topics in the class and won. If this does not help just watch the national news. There is a bunch there to choose. Try this one "Is Dan Rather a Communist" that should raise some eyebrows. OR! and teachers hate this, Is the 1st Amendment being abused by our media to sway elections. Good luck and tell us how you make out!

wtnhunt Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Re: What persuasive speech can I give?? Think I would go with the gun control idea. Can remember doing a persausive speech in college several years ago on that topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingInMaine Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Re: What persuasive speech can I give?? I would go with the gun control issue, or maybe you can persuade people that hunting is a necessary part of life and cover what would happen if hunting were made illegal (starvations, more car/animal accidents, ect.) I wouldn't worry about your topics being related to hunting. You need to pick something you are passionate about or it will show in your speech. If you aren't excited about your topic, you will have a hard time persuading others to get behind you on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger-Hunter Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Re: What persuasive speech can I give?? Do gun control and list the notorious listing of governments that banned guns and then committed atrocities on their own people. It's here on this forum somewhere.
