Persuasive Essay On Volunteering Firefighters

PD: 8 persuasive essay

I am writing this today to persuade everyone here into signing this petition online that will save america's volunteer firefighters. By signing this petition, you will be all volunteer firefighters and their companies. This petition will encourage younger people between the ages of 18 and 35 to join volunteer companies near by.

    Generational Cohort Analysis

    Volunteering is something that can happen at all ages and each different age group has something that is important to offer when they volunteer. In volunteering the different age groups are broken down into five distinct generation cohorts (Connors, 2012).

The five different generational cohorts include the Greatest Generation or those that were born prior to 1926, the Traditionals or Silent Generation those that were born between 1926 and 1945, the Baby Boomers those that were born between…

    Clarissa Harlowe "Clara" Barton was a pioneer nurse who founded the American Red Cross. In addition to being a hospital nurse, she worked as a teacher, patent clerk, and humanitarian.

During the end of the American Civil War, Barton worked at a hospital she made helping the people at the Andersonville prison camp where 13,000 people died.…

    Persuasive Essay On Homeless Veterans

    How would you feel if you were walking down the street and saw a homeless veteran? Someone who served our country, but is now suffering? For their services, they deserve so much better than what they have right now. They suffered for our country and may have lost limbs for our country, yet why should they continue to suffer even when they should be honored and living a decent life? In Stanislaus County, there are countless veterans who are in need of assistance and compensation for their services, and a solution to this would be to start up an organization with a variety of programs to assist them.…

I would know, because not only was I a victim, I was also a person who stood by and simply watched it happen.…

    Persuasive Essay

    Due to the financial crisis there have been many changes made to government programs to reduce costs and help with debt. Many of these cuts are happening statewide, in America’s public schools. The first programs that are being cut are the art programs, and the excuse is that the core classes are more important. The argument is that children need to be more focused on test scores in Math, Science, English and History. It is unfair to single out art classes, there should be a more even spread of budget cuts, not just the sole elimination of the arts. There are parents who are indifferent with the arts and they are unfazed by their removal from elementary public schools. What many of these parents do not recognize is that there are actually benefits of the arts that help with core subjects. Some benefits are strengthening problem solving skills, stimulating critical thinking and helping developmental growth. There is also a duel component that shows that there is a direct correlation between SAT test scores and art programs in schools, as well as higher participation and attendance. It has also been shown that the arts can help boost the economy.…
