Spank Linda Persuasive Speech
“Spank Linda for me.” Mom told Dad, chasing me as I ran around him. I knew he didn’t agree with corporal punishment. “I’ll never hit Linda, don’t need to. She listens to me out of respect.” I hung on to him for safety. He didn’t believe in capital punishment either, implausible after what ended up happening to him. Dad was a gentle man who didn’t believe in killing...anything. Once, Mom told him,“ Kill all those moths that fly into our house.” He refused. Instead, he bought a yellow light bulb, screwed it into the socket on our front porch, turned off the living room lights and waited. “I researched library books on base,” he said, “moths are attracted to the light, in particular yellow lights.” The

    “Death of a Moth” is a short essay from the author, Annie Dillard, called Holy the Firm, and also one of her most personal essay that she’s ever written.

    Jackie Psycho Persuasive Speech

    On January 20th, Jackie Evancho stood on the steps of the U.S capitol and sang the national anthem for the incoming 45th President Donald Trump. Being able to sing the star spangled banner for the inauguration is quite the honor but Jackie received all sorts of feedback for representing Donald Trump. Throughout his campaign Donald had made anti-women claims and statements. Many people believe that performing for Trump amounts to some kind of capitulation to the anti-American ideals of the Trump campaign and transition. A day after the Inauguration a Women’s march packed the United States so there was a lot of controversy towards why Jackie would represent our President. Understanding the situation and the opportunity to represent the U.S, the lyrics of the National Anthem as well as the manner in which it is performed by Jackie Evancho misrepresents our country’s opinions and values regarding freedom and patriotism.…

    Virginia Woolf's The Death Of The Moth

    In the essay "The Death of the Moth" Virginia Woolf shows us a traditional battle between life and death. I think that all of us are moths at some points in our lives. We do something without thinking and results. The life is a journey towards death. That's why we should stop sometimes and think. Or everything will go through us and will finish nowhere. I think that this is a symbolism in Virginia Woolf's story about the moth.…

    Monica Lewinsky Persuasive Speech

    After a decade of silence Monica Lewinsky, who had an affair with the president of the United States back in 1995, decided to step back into the public eye. This time lending her well-known voice to a course, which she feels very passionately about: bringing public humiliation to an end. The decisive factor in her coming forward was the tragic story of the college freshman, Tyler Clementi (18) , who jumped off a bridge to his death, after footage of him being intimate with another man was uploaded to the internet. This attracted an extreme amount of negative attention.…

    Persuasive Speech On Tongue Tie

    I think you should take second opinion. Tongue tie, professionally known as ankyloglossia, is a congenital condition in which the lingual (tongue) or labial (lip) frenulum is too tight, causing restriction in movement that can cause significant difficulty with breastfeeding and, in some instances, other health concerns like dental, digestive and speech issues. I don’t think so it is related to psychological behavior. Release or snipping of the tight frenulum can improve the baby’s ability to breastfeed. Snipping a tight frenulum in young babies is a simple procedure that takes only second or two. No anaesthetic is…

    Spanking Children

    Spanking Children

    Spanking is a form of corporal punishment commonly used to discipline an infant, toddler, child, or teenager. It typically consists of an adult striking the child 's bottom in reaction to poor behavior, with either an open hand or an implement, without producing physical injury. There is much argument over whether a parent should spank their child or not. Those who do not believe in spanking say spanking is form of child abuse. They associate it with various adult problems. These pacifists suggest using an “alternative" to spanking; that spanking teaches children that violence is an acceptable way of getting one 's way. They also believe it confuses children because most of the same adults who spank also teach that violence is not generally acceptable. This is said to be “hogwash”. Those who believe in spanking, most of whom are Christians, say and that GOD commands parents to spank for misbehavior.…

    Should Kids Get Spanked?

    There have been many debates on spanking and corporal punishment over recent years. There are two sides to any argument. On one side are some parents, who believe that it is acceptable to spank their children, and on the other side, there are those who believe that children should never be spanked. The main problem with spanking is that each group defines spanking differently. There are some who believe spanking is a form of abuse, while others think of it as discipline. I believe that spankings are a form of discipline, and not abuse.…

    Persuasive Speech

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
