American Persuasive Speech

In August of 2016, Kaepernick began his protest during a NFL preseason game where he initially sat during the singing of the national anthem. At the time, his rebellious efforts became unnoticed, but he soon enough made headlines when someone took a photo of him sitting during the anthem. Thus a social issue was born from the public’s reaction from the photo.The negativity of the public’s reaction stemmed from the norm that it is customary that people raise their right hand over their heart while facing the flag when the Star-Spangled-Banner is playing, so if one does not follow this norm it is identified showing disrespect. Inevitably, the prediction of the people’s reaction were to be expected as they were outraged when Kaepernick broke the norm. Although, it is legal for individuals not to follow these sacrosanct protocols, citizens of the United States find this norm obligatory.Would you stand by and constantly watch the same social issues to keep reoccurring in your neighborhood? Not only that but it keeps happening to different people by the same organization? When numerous acts of police brutality occurred, Colin Kaepernick decided to protest. He could no longer stand by and do nothing; he decided to take a knee. For professional National Football League (NFL) player, Colin Kaepernick, his response was “no”. One of the last waves that came toward the end of the summer is the kneeling while the national anthem played during sporting events. When Kaepernick decided to

Kneeling during the national anthem is not just wrong it is also disrespectful to the multitudes in our country who have served or or presently serving this great nation-- the United States of America. The national anthem represents many things. One of them is the fortitude of our country’s flag. In the anthem it declares that the United States of America is “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” The flag represents the very core and essence of our nation as the only land on the continent that offers its citizens the freedoms it has at the price paid for ultimately by the brave. It is in no way oppressive nor racist. It is the theme song for every American. The intended audience of this paper is an appeal to all Americans. The quarterback of the 49ers football team, Colin Kaepernick, first began a protest to draw attention to a series of incidents against African Americans by remaining seated during the national anthem, “the Star Spangled Banner.” After the great stir Kaepernick caused in the media during September 2016, Kaepernick switched up his protest by taking a knee as a nod or gesture of showing more respect to current and former military after receiving an in-depth letter from Nate Boyer a former NFL player and US military veteran. Boyer served our country as a Green Beret. Over a decade ago, Boyer witnessed genocide while working in Sudan. He met numerous African men who were smitten with America and longed to have the

A big problem protesters like Colin Kaepernick and others are facing is that since they don’t participate in the National Anthem people think that they don’t like our country and are unpatriotic. For example Donald Trump and his aides took the situation into their own hands when calling out the protesters by saying, “protests are unpatriotic and disrespectful to the flag and those who have fought to protect the United States”(Tatum). After these comments players fire back by saying they’re exercising free speech by not participating in the National Anthem while standing with their hands over their hearts. Protesting is a

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

Twelve score and two years ago, our country boldly declared its independence, clearly drawing a line between it and the rest of the world. Its beauty has shone through our history, and our monuments in our Capitol truly reflect our heritage. Our country leads the world while also keeping safety and justice among its citizens. Now, in this day and age, the America we know is the center of independence and freedom. Especially now, when many refugees persistently seek a shelter and education in our country, we must reflect truly what our country is and how it has rippled through our lives. America is a world leader with scars of a beaten history, but victoriously crowned with liberty. Because of this, we must reflect what America is to us, and

America’s History was A huge string of events and I can tell that our land of freedom has been through tough times in all of the earth’s history. I see it now that things still aren’t as safe from hardships of then, The shooting at Las Vegas, The most recent fires, and most crimes that are still being committed. People say that they lost hope in this country, but I still have hope for the best of our country to be at its best. Though most don’t realize it, but we have a huge amount of technology that is used all the time to solve problems but is never used.

“Steve fired the gun in an effort to dislodge the suspect's grip or jam the auto pistol that the suspect stole from him. His efforts proved futile. The gun was pointed into the air and occasionally at Steve's face. As the fight wore on Steve managed to get on top of the suspect's back. At that point he retrieved his 9mm backup gun from inside his bullet proof vest pocket.

Football is an American sport, that many families and friends enjoy together. However, many people have not been interested in going to the football games they normally enjoy and not because of losses, but because of the disrespectful players in the National Football League (NFL). Kneeling during the National Anthem has become an issue, and some find it offensive because it’s disrespectful to veterans and active military personel, it shows our country doesn’t care how we act, and it causes people of our nation to fight each other.

America, it’s the land of freedom and hope. Many have died for this country and many have fought for it and to keep this country on all ten toes. Not even necessarily from this country like dominicans, cubans, and even australia. America promises have rights , freedoms and many opportunities, which people from all over the world take advantage, that’s why we have such a diverse community.

America has given a gift to this generation, in that gift is life, freedom, happiness, protection, and more, all crammed in that little box wrapped in silver paper and tied off with a red ribbon bow. She provides a barrier that shields the enemies from getting in the way of her citizens’ everyday lives, she doesn’t do it alone though. On that box there is a little note that reads, to the citizens of the United States from the armed forces. The military gave us that gift and they are also the prime reason that barrier is consistently there, they support that shield and keep it up over our country, they bless us with our rights and freedom, without the worrisome of not being safe. The stars and stripes represent this barrier, the braveness

As the United States of America celebrates its 239th birthday, it’s good to sit back and think about some of the things that make our land the absolute best country in the history of the world.

We worry about events unworthy of our time and have social statuses matter more than helping the hopeless in this world. To unite our country, we must all unite as one to face the real issues and stop slacking to be able to see a change happen. We all stand today together to make better changes that benefit us all and make America known for its greatness once again. We have split not because of the wars and other issues we have. We divided for we are the problem. We must love, support, work as one to become a united nation once again. With all hatred; we are only capable of destroying ourselves. Recently, one lone gunman decides to shoot rounds of gunfire at the Las Vegas Strip. Nearly injuring 22,000 people leading it to be America’s deadliest

Persuasive speech outline purpose: To persuade my audience to donate blood through the American Red Cross. Introduction:

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the
