Epilepsy Persuasive Speech

I am a 15 year old girl, soon turning 16 and will, hopefully, be getting my driver’s license. There is only one problem I don’t have a car and my parents don’t want me driving their cars alone, so, therefore, I can’t ever really drive around like I need to. If I got a car, it would change everything. It would give everyone else more time, not having to worry about who is going to pick me up and all of the confusion.

Having a suspended driver’s license means your right to drive has been revoked by the Department of Motor Vehicles and the state/federal courts. It can be very scary driving on a suspended driver’s license and if you are driving on one you live in constant fear.

It’s 2 a.m. and a student in in your residence hall is having difficulty breathing. You sleep peacefully through the night, resting up for the next day of classes. Across campus, a group of student volunteers wake up in the dark of the night, don their gear and race off into the cold night sky, answering the call of a peer in need. To some, this may seem like the description of a superhero, but thousands of students engage in this selfless service, driven by a passion to help others in their darkest times.

Imagine how it must feel to take a hit in the head so unimaginably hard at a fast pace, that the diagnosis is a life threatening concussion; a bruise or painful scar of the brain; truly traumatizing, isn’t it? When is getting a life threatening concussion alright for you, is it okay when you’re young(under the age of twelve) and your neck, brain and spine are still in development or when you’re older and your body is all beat up and used to it’s maximum; which one? Definition of Concussion: Acceleration and/or deceleration of the brain within the skull (Collins). Symptoms of Concussions: Physical symptoms - headaches, nausea, dizziness, increased sensitivity to light and noise. Mental symptoms - fogginess and difficulty

Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which individuals have recurrent seizures. Seizures can occur in children and adults of any age. There are around 50 million people in the world who has the disorder. Individuals in developing countries are at a higher risk for developing the disorder. Seizures occur due to hyper-excitability and hyper-synchronization of neurons. Action potential transmits messages and it leads to depolarization. When neurons are uncontrollably depolarizes because of hyper-excitability due to too little inhibition, it cause a seizure. Seizures can last from a few seconds to a few minutes. As spontaneously they can develop is also as fast and spontaneous they can end.

Out of the 140 goals scored in the 2015 Women’s World Cup 15.7 percent were scored off of headers. That’s not a very high percentage so why are they trying to make heading the ball a big issue. If football is the number one leading for most concussions for males, why aren’t they doing anything about that? The current perception is that in soccer younger girls should not head the ball because many believe that it will cause a concussion. Head to ball contact isn’t the problem, the problem is many believe that head to ball contact causes concussions, and therefore putting restrictions on girls’ soccer.

Concussion: 1. temporary unconsciousness caused by a blow to the head. The term is also used loosely of the after effects such as confusion or temporary incapacity. 2. a violent shock as from a heavy blow. Now which seems worse, a child who has been knocked unconscious, or one who has taken a blow to the head and experiences and violent shock neurologically? Both meaning the same thing in essence, these are the definitions of a concussions. Now ask yourself, how many people you know that have received concussions, perhaps multiple, and function just fine? The number, depending on who you are, might very well be a high number, but what’s the harm in that? Although symptoms of concussions may disappear, the damage internally is permanent, and that damage can be life threatening either now or down the road. The reason children are brought into this mix rather than everyday

Problems that may occur when a person has seizures are that they will have a mind of a little child, this means that when a person has seizures they do not act like themselves they act like a three or four year old. Even though they maybe a child they will have a younger understanding of things. People with seizures may also have a learning disorder, which is a disorder that people have when they do not understand like school work or they do not understand their level of work, or they can understand but not understand clearly. They can have seizures for a lifelong time. People with seizures can not drive, because they can be driving,have a seizure, and they can be injured bad and that could cause of death.

People uneducated about Epilepsy may have confused thoughts on what it really is. People have these "notions," which are partly or entirely not true. So, throughout this research paper, these notions will be proven untrue, mostly by factual information given by

The cause of all seizures is unclear, but doctors have come up with some reasons why they may occur. Common forms of generalized epilepsy, absence attacks, and tonic-clonic seizures are sometimes caused because of an inherited instability. This is where the inherited instability in functioning of neurones is responsible for these disorders. It is still not understood just how this genetic defect works, it could be the abnormality is in the structure of the neurone's outer membrance, which could cause electrical instability.

Epilepsy is a condition in which a person has two or more seizures affecting a variety of mental and physical functions. Epilepsy is one of the oldest conditions of the human race. Epilepsy Awareness is important because Epilepsy is a widely misunderstood disorder. The reason that Epilepsy has been misunderstood has been mainly due to research not being conducted until the middle of the nineteenth century. There are six main types of seizures and many treatments that can assist an epileptic patient. Many facts and myths exist about a person who has Epilepsy, which, is why it is an important disorder to understand. A person living with Epilepsy can typically have a normal life after seeking medical advice from doctors.

     In responding , one can say that teenagers always complain about the ¡§grown up¡¨ world and its rules. Teens find it rather hard to be part of the grown up worl until they have the licence to go out on their own. Basically, the whole concept of graduated licencing is not so complicated. There are only a few changes: 1) There must be a fully licensed driver beside you with at least four years of driving experience in the G1 level. 2) There is a year waiting period between the G1 level and G2 level. 3) New drivers may only drive in cities, not on highways, and only during daytime hours. Even though there is a 1 month waiting period between G1 level and G2 level, it can be shortened to 8 months by taking a driver¡¦s insurance training course. During this course, the driver will learn more about techniques on driving, and it will cost less when getting car insurance later on.
