Pursuasive Speech - help me choose a topic

[mbeige]

"loving other men - is it really so wrong?"

Make sure if you do this, Blink, you have a good flame suit on

You guys are cool! thanks thanks a lot!

I know I have to choose something that I feel strongly about... yun nga lang hindi ko maisip. Sometimes when times like this come up you just gotta find people to talk to to bring out thoughts that're already there out of one's minds, that's why I went here. Wala pa ako maisip a topic eh. I'm trying my best to stay away from topics related to cars kase yun na yung ginamit ko sa mga previous speech presentations ko sa class. First was thieves (car-related), next was cars/driving as my passion, then Detailing steps (informative speech), then ngayon etoh something persuasive naman. Kilala na ako ng mga classmates ko as the performance car guy. hehehe, gusto ko sana yung medyo iba naman...

You guys have brought up some interesting ones and maraming salamat, you don't know how much I appreciate being helped by others and thanks, but keep it coming!!! suggestions pa!

or you can talk about how pagtitipid in general is the culprit of all sufferings,hatred, negativity, poverty, indifference, greed in family, community and in govt.

first you can start off, that the usual payo ng magulang at teacher : "save money for a rainy day" eh isa sa pinakamalaking mali na payo of our generation. bec. you'll only enrich or only giving opportunity to the bankers and those who have not.

and then you can follow-up sa kasabihan na "ang masamang damo, ay matagal mabuhay" coz they have all happiness in their lives. they always get what they want at the shortest possible time. patagalan mo want mo, for more months, na hindi mo nakukuha, you'll get frustrated and grumpy! hehehe

all that stuff. sigurado persuasive yan hehehe

a topic that you yourself is very well into is the most applicable one.
so i'm sure they're really in there just waiting for you to choose.

[leolop]

whatever topic you end up with, try to incorporate a short, catchy line that drives your point and you repeat several times during the speech. it's normally a good technique. parang comm II sa UP, ha.

Ok, what I'm thinking of, and what I might end up deciding my topic to be, "Stay in School". Hehehe, since isa yun sa mga strong perspectives ko for the past years...

Anybody have addition???

thanks!

here's one topic i would love people to be persuaded.....STOP CORPORAL PUNISHMENT!!!NO TO SPANKING!!! Break the cycle! Start with your own kid.

Here's one I think would really be controversial, "Phase Out All Jeepneys and Second Hand Buses" :starwars:

Arguments for would be:

1. Road and Passenger Safety
2. Fuel Efficiency of other modes (i.e. LRT/MRT)
3. Environmental concerns (pollutants from poorly-maintained PUV's)
4. Traffic Decongestion

Arguments against would be:

1. Inconvenience to commuters
2. Lost livelihood of operators, drivers and conductors
3. Lack of Space to Store or Dispose of Old PUVs.
