What is a good topic for a persuasive speech?

Well, if you want to keep it really simple, you could persuade people on "Why Everyone Should Eat Breakfast". Easy and quick!

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.

******************************************************\nI always used to pick topics that fit these two rules:\n******************************************************\n1) Something that I'm passionate about (or something I knew a lot about)\n\n2) Something that can be illustrated with pictures or brought into class.  \n\nI never failed to get an "A" with those two rules in mind when picking a topic.\n\nA website I found years after I went to school and college says pretty much the same thing, but is an excellent resource for how to make the best presentation you can.  This info is worth it's weight in gold, believe me.

Select a topic you are knowledgeable on already. \n\nIf you have a pet, you could tell how to feed and train it, when to take it to the vet, etc.\n\nIf you have a hobby, that would make a good topic - genealogy, collecting buttons, etc.\n\nPut a little humor into your speech - that will make it go over!\n\nHere is a site that lists some specific topics for an informative speech.\nhttp://personal.bgsu.edu/~ramune/infotopics.html

Rhetorically speaking?

what is the one topic you feel most strongly about? you need something you are interested in, to gain the interest of others, and you aren't going to persuade anybody if you aren't serious about it. for example, do you have a really strong opinion on the voting age? abortion laws? women in the military? stopping illegal immigrants? the age at which someone is considered an adult? trying juveniles as adults when they commit a serious crime? how about the legality of people mutilating animals...such as declawing cats...docking tails and ears of dogs because it 'looks better'...breaking and resetting show horse's tails crooked so they fall a certain way? (they do this with Tennessee Walkers and Saddlebreds)just a few ideas. hope it helps!

What do you feel strongly about, thats what the best persuasive speechs are about, if you care abotu somethign it won't be hard for you to try to persuade sombody for 5-8 minutes, do a little research to have some facts behind what you say, and you should be fine.\n\nYou may even try to check out some hot political topics - immigration is huge right now, the iraq war, and persuade for what you feel.  Death penalty has been done a million times, but thats always an idea

There are many questions for you to answer before I can answer yours, such as:\n\nWhat is the speech for? Who is the audience? How long should it be?\n\nThat being said, pick something that is meaningful to you. You shouldn't be too casual, but let some of yourself shine through, your achievements as well as your struggles. Honesty, sincerity and humor really make for a good speech.

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!

It depends on what you want to talk about!

One way would be to make it a meta-topic:  Your topic could be propaganda, that is, persuasive speech.  Webster defines propaganda:  "1 cap: a congregation of the Roman curia having jurisdiction over missionary territories and related institutions.  2: the spreading of ideas, information or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause or a person.  3:  ideas, facts or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause; also, a public action having such an effect."\n\nThe classical evil examples of propaganda are the Nazis and the Soviet Union.  Both have been successfully defeated, in part by propaganda against them.  In the end, it means the effort to change the minds or the publicly expressed beliefs of the public; to influence for one's own purposes.  For good or ill, though that lack of respect for the will of the individual, and for honest discussion and discourse, would imply it is inevitably evil, if sometimes necessary.\n\nHow's that for a topic?

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
