What would be a good topic to do a persuasion speech on?

Good question:\n\nIf you are going to do an oration or persuasive speech its good to start with a problem or a current trend that is somewhat controversial (but not overly political) and offer an alternative.\n\nexamples:\n\n1.Americans rely too much on modern drugs and medicine as the sole treatment for depression. rather, we should be willing to make broader lifestyle changes for a long term solution to sadness.\n\n2. A college education is becoming increasingly important for success but it is also becoming increasingly expensive. many people who are very intelligent are incapable of affording a good education. this hurts the individual and the economy. rather, the government should make it easier for capable students to afford higher education. \n\n3. Many towns across the country are banning smoking in private restaraunts and clubs. While it is proven that smoking is bad for your health, these bussineses are privately owned and it should be up to the owner to take the risk of either banning or allowing smoking. Individuals can make the choice rather or not to eat or hang out at these places. \n\nHopefully this helps you out. Your welcome to use any of these three and if you need any more ideas just ask. But you should get the general idea. \n\nGood luck!

introduction- sound engaging. convince your reader that your topic is an issue thats worth considering. clearly and strongly state your opinion. and try not to use a passive voice when doing this.\n\nbody paragraphs- give reasons to support your opinion. try to appeal to your audience. you can appeal to common sense, logic, emotion, ethics, etc. giving evidence is also a good idea. statistics work great. and if you can show that you did soe good research, im sure your teacher will love it.\n\nconclusion- if you like, give a quick summary of your reasons. state you opinion statement. and... a "call to action" where you are calling to the reader to take action and act on your opinion. when doing this, assume your reader strongly believes and agrees with your opinion and view on the issue.

This can help. You start by asking generalised sort of questions to the audience (related to the topic of course) and after 4 or five answers pick up the best, say why it is the best, then give your own opinion too. that would make it very interactive. make it a group discussion kind of thing.

in order to make a nice speech of course - first, you should pick up a very interesting topic to talk about.. topic tht would call on your audiences' attention.\n\npractice your script and make sure you make good pronunciation of words so that your listeners would understand you.

Well it depends on what type of speech you are giving.  You could do a persuasive type speech on exercise.  When I was in speech my topics were:\nExercise\nApples or Oranges\nPeople and their masks

That sounds like a pretty broad range of subject.  I agree that you need to find something that interests you or you will  not be able to follow through with it completely.  If you are going to present this in front of a class, it might be nice to come up with something that has some kind of demonstration or audio/visual element to it because people generally have a very short attention span when you are just talking.\n\nIf you are just turning in a report, I would still try to incorporate some kind of graphics into the report.  For example, if you do something about the civil war you could include maps that would aid in your discussion.  Or, if you do something technology related you could include pictures of the item, and/or circuit or mechanical drawings, and maybe even graphs with data plotted.  BUT, whatever you include, be sure you can explain it. don't just throw in stuff that looks good if you can't back it up somehow.

Rhetorically speaking?

Anything that you feel strongly about and are well educated on. Topics could be ..... War in Iraq, abortion, national health care, removing or keeping the trade embargo against Cuba, seperation of church and state, and many others. Keep in mind that your opinion will likely be at odds with at the very least a few. Also make sure and research what points people will use to argue against your position, but mostly try and pick something you feel strongly about and prepare yourself.

I suggest the following seminar topics on the computer.\n\n(1) If the discussion is about the usefulness and the nuissances of the computer, the topic, which can suit is:\n"Computer, a boon or bane of the modern world".\nHere bane is used for nuissance.\n\n(2) If the discussion is about the ideal performances, the topic can be:\n"Is Computer taking place of the human brains?"\n\n(3) If the discussion will be merely on the technology, the topic can be:\n"Brainy Computers for the next generations"

If you have pets and like pets, you should do it on why people should adopt or buy a pet. You could also do it on the gym that you go to and why excercise is good for people. Or on good restaurants to go to in your area and why. There are so many possabilities that you could do it on. Just look at something that interests you and do it on that. Hope this helps, and best of luck with your speech!!! :0)

I think the first poster gave a great suggestion.  Here are a few more ideas:  \n\nLet me make your money talk.\n\nTime is money.\n\nMoney is scarce so let me take care of yours.\n\nAnd a few links that may help.  Good luck with your campaign.

A persuasive speech is one in which you try to convince your audience of something (or not).  You should pick a topic that both interests you and about which you have an opinion.  For example, in my undergrad speech class, I taught guys how to dress themselves, since first impressions are a big thing to me.  The website I've included below gives a really good list of topics that might spark your interest.

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.

specify the debate topic please...if you have to make one up i would say either birth control/abortion rights, women's rights/feminism, the necessity of the war in iraq, or same-sex marriage/homosexiality...all of which are good topics which could create a nice debate

Any controversial political issue is a good topic for a persuasive speech.  Some good topics are gun control, illegal immigration, gay marriage, universal health care, drug policy and affirmative action.  Choose a topic and decide what position you want to take.  A good website where you can research numerous political issues is http://www.politics1.com  They've got most of the major issues there and links to pro and con websites.
