Marilyn Manson Persuasive Speech

Standing at the microphone she was suddenly overwhelmed by stage fright. She later confessed thinking, “I’ll sing this song if it’s the last thing I ever do.” Jack smiled broadly as she finally launched into her breathy and seductive version of “Happy Birthday Mr President”- and a giant cake was wheeled out. On stage with Monroe by his side the President recklessly announced, “I can now retire from politics after having “Happy Birthday” sung to me in such a sweet wholesome way.” This was dangerous in front of a national audience however Kennedy felt that in the case of Marilyn Monroe it was best to hide in plain sight. However, “The Secret Service had specific instructions not to photograph President Kennedy and Marilyn together because it

Manson got exactly what he wanted out of his music. He wanted to be someone that people could look up to for his lyrics and deep meanings behind his persona, but some people take his antichrist persona too seriously and go down a dark path. April 20, 1999 is a perfect example of the media glorifying Manson’s persona. At approximately 11:10 a.m. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold got out of their cars outside of Columbine High School (history.com, 2009). No one could have guessed what was going to happen within the next thirty

"The sins described don't seem like sins at all, even if one accepts the religious significance of the term. But they spring from thoughts and behaviors that, overtime become habits."(Benton TSDSOS) For example, Institutions create a mindset for students that push them to take the path of least resistance; and instead of using self denial and self esteem they choose self indulgence. These choices and sins that they indulge in have consequences that can create more unhappiness and difficult paths later down the road.

In Melissa Fleming’s TED talk Let’s Help Refugees Thrive, Not Just Survive, she discusses the idea of helping immigrant refugees live a successful life in their new world, rather than just giving them the tools to simply survive. Her main reasoning behind this was wanting to share people's story in order to help make a difference. Fleming’s first described events in which she used quotes to help her audience feel emotions toward the subject of immigrants going to other countries in order to reach safety. To get her audience to agree with her point of helping immigrants succeed, Fleming’s used the example of the young boy who had his life in danger and the only thing he saved was his high school diploma because of the amount of danger he had

The seven deadly sins are pride, wrath, sloth, envy, lust, gluttony, and greed. According to Sacred Origins of Profound Things by Charles Panati. A Greek man Evagrius of Pontus originally drew up 8 offenses of bad human passions. But in the late 6th century, Pope Gregory the great reduced the former list to seven. He listed them from the most serious to the least serious : pride, envy, anger, sadness, avarice, gluttony, and lust. Later theologians contradicted the fact that they could be ranked that way. In the late 17th century the church replaced the sin of “sadness” with sloth. These sins are considered to be the most deadly in terms of their offense against love. The deadly sins were around in those days and they are around today.

For a very long time, the Catholic Church enforced some incredibly stringent rules named the seven deadly sins. The concept of the seven deadly sins, formerly called the eight deadly sins, originated from a fourth-century monk named Evagrius Ponticus. People have always been immoral and self-gratifying, so the leaders in the church at the time wanted to construct a list of a person's spiritual shortcomings.

In order of increasing seriousness, they were: gluttony, lust, greed, despair, wrath, sloth, vainglory, and pride. Later, around the sixth-century, Pope Gregory the Great reduced the list to include only seven deadly sins. He did this by including vainglory with pride, removing despair, and replacing it with envy. Pride was considered to be not only the worst, but also the root of all other sins. Throughout the Middle ages, the church taught everybody the meaning and severity of these sins. They also created and taught a list of seven virtues to counteract the deadly sins. In order of the sin they counteract, the virtues are: abstinence, chastity, liberality, patience, diligence, kindness, and humility. These sins and virtues were not taken lightly by the church. While the virtues balanced out the sins, there were severe punishments for the sins. These
