I would suggest, A good topic is INTERNET, lots of people nowadays using Internet but they dont know how Internet works and what does other acronyms stands for. Some topic will be: history of Internet(how/when/where internet started), Tricks using an Internet, how Internet works, Search Engines... etc... theres a lot of interesting topics when you talk about Internet.

You could talk about immigration or the war in Iraq or raising minimum wage...those are the boring ones.\n\nIf you want to do something off the wall, I always recommend that people talk about blowing up the moon.  I wrote a 10 minute speech on supporting the destruction of the moon.  There's a lot of evidence to support it, and it's entertaining to research and read.

An easy one for the music topic would be to do it about how classical music affects the growth of plants or if it doesnt. For the dog topics it could be to reasearch about whether its true that their mouth is cleaner than the human mouth ( dont know why you would want to do that....but...anyways) . Another topic  saw once in a science fair was something with the simple atom. For the Atom one you can make an atom display and can explain about it and its importance and make a a poster about it too. Hope this gives you some ideas !! (seems easy ...na ? )

any topic of debate is going to be controversial, i would try gay marriage, capital punishment, abortion, legalization of marijuana (i had an english class that someone won for it once), school uniforms, prayer in schools, evolution, just to name a few. a great series is taking sides (i think) it has the viewpoints and different ideas for that sort of debate.

Abortion, War in Iraq, Euthanasia, President Bush, anything controversial, just make sure you know what side your teacher is on, considering she will be the one grading you.\n\nGood Luck and God bless.

What mathematical topics to you want discuss ?

Maybe animal experimentation? If you want a source for some information on the topics you mentioned (and a few more), take a look at http://www.balancedpolitics.org/. It'll discuss the pros and cons of each issue.\n\nGood luck with that.

That's a rather large topic.  Try the link I provided.

Ok. What about showing them different texts and asking if they think they are Fact or Opinion? You could use a newspaper editorial (opinion), a computer/car manual (fact) and a TV advert (always sure to raise a discussion that one - but best they realise it is opinion).\nAfter looking at these examples you could then get them to write a piece of Fact and Opinion based on these examples.

It depends on what class this is for.  It is always best to write about something that interests you or something that you would like to learn more about.  There are a million possible topics to choose from!

How about the Immigration issue or global warming?\nBoth are highly controversial issues.
548206
illegal immigration\nembryonic stem cell research and use\nenergy (oil drilling in ANWR, foreign dependency, alternative sources)\nmedication use (for instance, drugs should/should not be used to treat depression because...)\nvaccinations\nwhat should be taught in public schools about a topic (such as sex and religion)\nshould parents know when kids go on birth control\ndrug advertisements (should/should not be used, may alter what doctors/patients think/choose, etc.)\norgan donation\nanother idea is to pick a law and say whether it's good/bad & why, should it change, etc.\nmake sure the topic you choose is age and school appropriate (for instance, if you're 11, talking about birth control and sex might not be the best choice)

You know your campus better than any of us.  What is an issue on your campus? Are people polarized about the war in Iraq? Legalizing marijuana? Selling beer at football games?  Can men be the victims of domestic violence? Was Carlsbad really a government conspiracy to hide the truth about aliens? Anything that you can get people to argue about could be a good topic for a persuasive speech.  Then you take a side, any side, and argue persuasively for that side.   I have my students do their next persuasive paper arguing the reverse side of the issue.   The following websites has dozens of ideas for persuasive topics.  Good luck.

Obviously there are all the potential topics listed above, but these can sometimes be difficult to prove beyond personal feelings.  Something that can be easier and more fun to prove or disprove, are historical debates and conspiracies, such as, "Was their a second shooter at the JFK assassination?  If so, from where did they shoot?  Did Oswald actually do anything or was he a scapegoat?  Was their a mass conspiracy?  If so, did it involve the American government?"  You can talk about the existence of Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster or aliens.  Maybe you'd rather talk about the different theories on how people got to the Americas or the Polynesian Islands.  Who was Jack the Ripper?  Did Shakespeare write his own plays?  Did the girls who accused the "witches" in Salem Village make everything up, eat rye infected by the fungus used to make LSD or suffer from clinical hysteria?  Did St. Patrick really exist?  Did King Arthur really exist?  Did Walt Disney have himself criogenically frozen?  Did Irish explorers reach the Americas in small boats?  Did a Welsh man reach the Americas long before Colombus and teach some Indian villages Welsh?  There are so many wonderful historical myths and theories to explore, which can be more fun for you and refreshing and interesting for your teacher to grade.  I hope this helped!

If you want to get people's attention and/or probably make some of them mad, you should do a speech on the "wedge" issues (as Lou Dobbs calls them) between Republicans and Democrats, environmental issues, lowering the drinking age, abortion, foreign policy, drugs legal/illegal. Another thing is to find an issue that is at least semi-interesting within your local/state community, like something in the news perhaps, or an on going problem, or why to outlaw something, or make something into a law.
