I have chosen the ongoing problem of texting while driving. Some think this is a very popular and maybe sometimes drawn-out topic. This topic is talked about often, however, I believe it is still a very big problem that is ongoing. More and more people are beginning to text and drive. The dangers of texting and driving can be very lethal. The current levels of injury and loss from texting and driving are unacceptable. Happy Writing Everyone! :)
You have chosen a very worthy topic. I have a new teen driver and I can't stress enough to her about this because it scares me to think about it. She is very attached to her phone. I keep telling car running phone turned off. This is something we are probably at sometime guilty of and it can ALWAYS happen to you. Great topic
My persuasive paper is about childhood obesity and the ways in which we can work to eliminate or prevent this problem from worsening. I will outline the long term effects of obesity on ones health. I will be discussing the obesity rate in America, as well as the rate in the city of Lafayette. I will also be researching the ways in which our community is working to solve this reversible health issue. Shelby Armold
My paper is regarding the times of these core classes. Most people who go to school here work in the medical field in some sort of fashion. Where the schedules are made on 12 hr intervals that start or end at 6 or 7 pm so why make the required classes start at 5 pm.
Should teaching cursive reading and writing be eliminated in elementary schools? I believe not. How are our elementary students going to be able to read the original Constitution? The Bill of Rights? How will our youngest generations be able to believe that what is written is true? Will this generation be able to solely rely on the computer and its information? What happens if Armageddon comes and there are no computers? I ask again... Why would we want to not teach our elementary students cursive reading and writing?
I am in total agreement with you. You might look at eye hand coordination development reason as well. I know when my children were learning cursive they were also learning this. I was at the bank the other day and a young man was there and had to write a check and asked me how to write thirty in cursive. I was shocked! This is what we have to look forward too.
My paper is focused on the problems of gun control. I am against the complete elimination of personal firearms, but agree that the process to obtain a gun should be more in depth. I propose routine mental health checks with a gun permit and the elimination of the gun show and online loophole of buying guns without a background check. Guns are vital for personal safety and are our constitutional right, but they should be in just anyone's hands.
Great topic. You have very valid points regarding why certain levels of gun control need to be instated as well as methods of achieving a higher level of security with weapons. Well done!
My paper is about how Indiana is attempting to pass a bill trying to make it to where you don't have to have a cosmetology license to do hair. I don't think this bill needs to be passed. I have my beauty license and I don't think that it's fair for this to happen, especially to the hairdressers like me who have put the time and dedication to get our licenses. Would you like it if someone who had no knowledge of hair, skin, and nails to try and attempt to chemically alter your hair?
I wasn't aware of this, hopefully it doesn't pass. I worry about the people that cut my hair now. I'm sure the paper will be great since the topics personal to you.
Also being a licensed cosmetologist I 150% agree with you on this topic. Aside from the chemical dangers that can occur if you are not properly trained, you could expose your client's to potential harm and infections if you do no know what you're doing. Cosmetology school and properly licensing procedures are a MUST!
I haven't came up with a specific thesis statement but my paper is on how important it is to try alternative therapies for children that are diagnosed with ADHD instead of putting them on medication right away. Medication should be a last resort! Reason I am writing this is because I truly believe my mother had all good intentions of helping me get through the struggles of ADHD as a child when she started me on Ritalin. I had a reaction to Ritalin as a child that ended up being a permanent thing I have to deal with for the rest of my life. Then we spent years trying different kinds of medication & they kept bringing out the reaction, we agreed to stop any medication and just rolled with the struggles.
My paper is about the utilization of Embryonic Stem Cells for research and clinically therapeutic purposes. I discuss how benefits from increases in funding for this research would allow a better fundamental understanding of the complex processes involved in embryonic development that could lead to dramatic changes in healthcare.
This is a topic that has caught my eye as well. I did have embryonic cells that I donated to research. I would hope that they would have gone for stem cells. I believe that stem cell research is very much needed. My contraversy is at what point is it acceptable or not acceptable to make an embryo for research or to take a life of an unborn child for research. INTERESTING TOPIC! :-)
My paper will be discussing the benefits of having therapy dogs in schools. I will detail their duties, training, their selection process, along with what a typical "work" day is like for the dogs. Some opposing points I may work with are allergies and/or potential dangers of having a "wild animal" in schools.
I am very interested in reading this persuation paper because of so many people having allergies to dogs and certain types of hair on dogs. Also, to find out if there is a difference in therapy dogs as opposed to service dogs?
I have chosen to do my paper about drug testing those who receive any kind of welfare assistance. I am going to discuss where they have attempted a trial run and how this was a benefit, and why they feel that it did or did not work. There are many reasons why people receiving these funds should be drug tested. This a temorary program for those who are in need.
I totally agree, I am a person who strongly believes that if you have nothing hide than show every card they have, if they really need the help then the will be straight. They are way to lenient on their requirements.
My paper will discuss that continuing education in nursing should be mandatory in all of the United States. Many states now require mandatory continuing education in nursing for renewal of licensure. In certain states nurses are required to fulfill a certain number of education credits every two to three years.
My paper is about the death penalty. In this paper I will discuss whether or not the death penalty truly serves justice to the victims family. I will also discuss the cost of the death penalty and how it causes some states to vote against it.
I have chosen to write about recycling and how it should be mandatory. I will discuss how the quality in manufacturing has decreased so we just throw away instead of repair. The amount of garbage the is tossed on a daily basis. The impact of garbage on the environment. Finally how much can be saved through recycling.
I agree with you, it should be mandatory! The amount of trash bags that we used before recycling and after is crazy. We decreased our trash in half when we started recycling. We also reuse some of the glass spaghetti cans and re-purpose them. Maybe on top of recycling you could talk about possibly re-purposing some of the items.
I have chosen to write about the importance of exercising. I discuss the benefits of working out, how to start exercising at your own pace, and how to stay within budget. I discuss a part of the opposing side of why people don't feel they need to work out.
I chose to write my paper on why the driving age should be lowered to 15, and not 16 and 6 months. When I was in middle school I was one of those students who did after school activities, and even had to stay for detention sometimes. Once I got out I was always stuck having to walk home or ask for rides, I hated it. I was not always bad, when I was on the volleyball team, or basketball team or when I had track meets I had to always get a ride or else I would find myself walking home at night after my games or meets, yeah very scary! All of my family always worked and were not always available to give me rides or pick me up. Since I had no license I couldn't drive even though I knew how to. So this is why I am arguing to lower the driving age.
