There are numerous topics you could cover. Here's some topics that you can start with for your speech (they're based on current events):\n\n- Gas Prices: Will they continue to go up or down?\n- Will we travel in Space like we travel in cars in the near future?\n- Will we have a republican in the White house as our next president?\n- Will we have books in the future or will everthing be on computers?\n- Will robots become our new pets?\n- How small will cell phones get?\n- What is the future of music?\n- Will human genetics be able to be changed in the future?\n- Will extraterrestrials ever visit earth?\n- Will the war end in Iraq?\n\nThese questions should help you to flesh out what you want to say. You'll need to do some research on the topics though, but they are broad enough topics to get you started on your speech.\n\nHope that helps!\n\n~JYH

So the topic is your choice I'm assuming since you did not state your topic. Truthfully I would go with you are passionate about. Poverty in america, The stereotype of the nuclear family, Why sleep is necessary for societt's students, etc. If you need help please contact me, I would be glad to help you.

Are you into iPods or other mp3 players?  Talk about DRM and whether or not companies should have the right to restrict what you can do with music that -you- have purchased.\n\nHmm ... or how about net neutrality ... school dress codes ... how about whether game players should buy a Nintendo Wii or a PS3 (if your speech teacher is nice enough to let you talk about something like that =), or whether or not games like 'Bully' or 'GTA' should be permitted ... talk about whether or not certain games (like *wince* dodgeball) should be banned in gym classes ... persuade people to adopt a pet from the pound rather than buying one from a breeder, or speak about whether or not sports like greyhound racing are okay ... persuade people to watch less TV (or heck, persuade 'em that they should all tune in and watch your favorite show) ... if there's a club you're in or a 'cause' in which you're particularly interested, talk about why other people should get involved with it too ...\n\nHmm, well, there are a few off the top of my head ... honestly, my biggest suggestion would be to pick something you're personally interested in - it makes -such- an immense difference, people tend to sound so much more interested (and thus to -be- more interesting!) when they're speaking about something they actually care about.  Good luck to ya =)

I can't think of a topic since you say you're not interested in politics. Here's a website that might help you though:\nhttp://vos.ucsb.edu/

The best way to convince somebody of something is by example.  If you have an idea or philosophy that you want other to understand. All you can do is "live" your principles.

Current debates in evolution: Science vs. Religion, with special attention to "Intelligent Design".\n\nor\n\n"Iraq - Blood for oil or Defending democracy?\n\nor\n\n"Do Civil Rights include the right to marry, if you are Gay or Lesbian?"\n\nAll three have powerful arguments for and against, and lots of web sites / magazine articles you could cite.\n\n"What I plan to do this summer" would be easy, if the teacher will allow it.\n\n20 pages is a couple of thousand words. You'd better get started!

Check out www.ClassTopic.com   They have some great topics that I've used in the past.  Each topic has three good sources to get you started on the research, too.

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.

I would start by determining what I wanted to persuade someone about.\n\nThe obvious choices would be:\n\n1) that working in America is too stressful, which could be supported by evidence of work injuries, psychological standards, and other signs of stress that are researched.\n\n2) that working in America isn't as stressful as in other areas of the world which could be supported with prouctivity requirements from other countries and cultures, expected salaries, weekly work hours, and the like.\n\nOnce you've determined what you want to persuade someone of, you need to find proof to back up your statements. Use a 5 paragraph basic layout and you should be good to go.\n\nI'm an English major, so if you would like me to look over or help you out, feel free to email me (to make sure I notice) at iltat@yahoo.com :)

Please give us a little more detail. For example, what government are you talking about? What is your speech trying to prove? What are the criteria? As a general guideline, if you are writing this to persuade, then make sure you have some persuasive elements in you speech. Such as appeals (rational, emotive etc).

Well, a good topic for public speaking would be the problems facing the world at the moment with a possible bird flu (avian flu)pandemic and the shortage of fresh water. Either of those topics would be interesting. Good luck.

As a public speaking teacher for 30 years, I advise you to stay away from topics like abortion or Iraq.  They are overdone, too broad, and won't keep the interest of your audience - or else they'll be just plain angry if they disagree with you.\n\nI like "fun" topics for persuasion, such as either/or topics (Boxers or Briefs?  Chocolate or Vanilla?).  I also like topics of local controversy.  What's the hot topic around campus that people really care about?\n\nAny topic will keep your audience's attention if you choose your supporting information carefully.  Use anecdotes, humor, and a combination of logical and emotional appeals.

talk about global warming\nits a huge topic that will be more than enough to fill up 10 pgs\ntheres a lot to be researched too, so prepare for lots of work\nstuff like causes, preventions, consequences, proof\nresearch into Kyoto Accord, greenhouse gases, ocean currents, recent appearances of hurricanes (hurricanes build on warm air, and the temperature has been rising in the past few decades), car emissions, melting ice caps, change in migration of animals, stuff like that
