Persuasive Speech About Freedom In College

As American universities and colleges grow their demographics, diversity and ideas there is a continued and an accelerated debate regarding freedom of speech within these higher education institutions. College campuses are struggling to simultaneously provide a learning environment that is inclusive to traditionally unrepresented students while also providing an environment that allows for ideas to be challenged and debated no matter how offensive or controversial.

One of my main passions in life is music. But I haven’t always been sure that music is the right choice for me. Multiple times since I picked up a clarinet for the first time in fifth grade, I have doubted that I should continue in my school's band program. It was challenging, time consuming, and after all, I didn’t want to play clarinet in the first place. I originally wanted to play the flute, but that dream was quickly shot down during my instrument fitting. It was suggested that I try my hand at clarinet since it appeared to come more naturally to me. So after some deliberation and coaxing from my family, I took the plunge. I had no way of knowing much of an impact that small decision would eventually make on my life.

Specific purpose: At the end of the speech, students will be persuaded that college should be free.

Four hours into my first Libertarian National Convention I wandered into a crowded hotel suite filled with sweaty young men drinking Carlo Rossi and found myself face to face with John McAfee, internet pioneer, Libertarian candidate for president and former international fugitive. One thing led to another, and soon I was asking him a rather direct question: Had he killed a man?

No person should be told by another that they can’t do something. No matter how that person looks at things, you must be humble and accept them for who they are. That person can become greater than you in the future and you not even know it. There is a point in life that we don’t know about that is possible in the USA, something is constantly chasing us, telling us to do something constantly, it’s just what our instincts suddenly tell us to do. Some people just don’t care and don’t realize what their body and mental mind can do. People often reject themselves from one another’s opinion. Don’t listen to others and their negative comments, do you and be you. In the future, when you lead on to one of the most successful people in wealth and mentally, all the ones that have once doubted you are going to be looking up to you, rather than put you down. The truth is, the world is a very cruel place right now, it’s mainly due to its people. Some people might understand and listen to this otherwise, some people might ignore this, or even get influenced, but when the time hits, they never remember what is told to them, that everything will be okay. Every single time you put time and effort into something, make sure it really is TIME and EFFORT. Keep going for if your body physically or your mentality, and even both can go on for. When you feel like giving in to failure, keep going. When you

General Purpose: The general purpose of the speech is to point out why college should be free. I will persuade my audience that my solution of the free college education will work.

The auditions were in January of 2012. I did not know of the results of my performance, and neither did Mr. Carter. I began to put it off until for the rest of the day. I really did not know what to think. I believed that it was a successful audition, but my doubts had come into play, and the thought of it all started to just make me nervous. I mean, how could a child, who knew little about music, possibly accomplish such a

The functionality and success of the American democracy is dictated by the fundamental rights outlined in the Constitution. These rights have been utilized by American citizens on numerous occasions throughout the centuries when advocating for these critical rights. However, questions started to arise when high school students started exercising these rights in their high schools, specifically their right to free speech and expression. The right of high school students to freedom of speech became an issue when their speech began to disrupt the school day and, as a result, teachers began to restrict it. Tinker vs. Des Moines, the landmark case advocating for students’ right to free speech, as well as Bethel vs. Fraser, the case ruling that students don’t have the same first amendment rights as adults, have been instrumental in dictating the outcome of future court cases regarding the right to freedom of speech of high school students. The exchange of information and exposure to new and different ideas is critical to students’ education and should be protected. However, if the freedom of speech infringes upon the need to maintain a safe learning environment, should it be protected? In my opinion, interpretations of Tinker have proved to be too restrictive on the First Amendment rights of students. The right to freedom of speech is a core right of the American

Today, I’m going to talk to you all about something that your parents probably have never not brought up with you before—college. Obviously I’m kidding. For a student in high school, not a day goes by where college is not mentioned. With college comes this monster of debt and unless you are some star athlete who has already committed to UCLA by 7th grade or the next Einstein who has cured all forms of cancer by the age of thirteen, you probably won’t be getting an 100% full ride to the dream college of your choice. And so this means that you and/or your parents will be paying for you to earn a degree to achieve a successful future. I believe that college should be free because every student should have the right and ability to attend college and it should be a tool to help set up students for their lives ahead of them.

Happy New Year! I'm sorry for not touching base with you sooner. I've recently completed finals with Liberty University a week ago. Unfortunately, I never received your email regarding the sample lessons. However, if it's not a problem, is there a way you can resubmit it to me?

“Give me liberty or give me death” Patrick Henry was so determined for his cause, he would die for it. Standing up for what you believe in can let you do great things. Even though sometimes it is hard to stand up for what you believe in, it is worth the reward.

If for some reason when you tried to buy a gun you were unreasonably denied after you filled out bunches of paperwork for, had the right to own , if they tried to deny you the guns you earned as an American citizen who is not a convicted felon how would you attempt to keep them? Would you put up a fight , yell , scream or simply state your right to bear arms? Maybe you didn't fully understand what exactly your right is. If you had previously learned and knew the Bill Of Rights you would know that “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” is the second amendment in our Bill Of Rights. The Bill Of Rights states our guaranteed rights as citizens of the United States of America. If you would have known your second amendment you may have been able to get your guns that you had or at least had a valid argument to attempt to buy your weaopns. Perhaps there are others rights you are not fully aware of , other times your rights were infringed upon. This could have been prevented if only you had learned about the Bill Of Rights. Perhaps you smoke medicinal marijuana and its legal in your state , did you know that is federally illegal . Some things are legal to your state but illegal to the federal government so you can have medical marijuana and not get arrested by your state but the federal government can arrest you . Many people find that to be against the constitution and

The stigma associated with pursuing an education in the musical arts affects the decision of many musicians nationwide. The appeal of guaranteed financial and career stability of STEM and other paths of high demand jobs is very difficult to pass up, even by the most dedicated musicians. Then, the input and advice of outsiders come into play. These onlookers not only encourage study of the hard sciences and a foolproof path to success via university, but they also totally and blatantly discourage and belittle the intelligence, rationality and integrity of not just the paths of musicians, but all liberal artists. Don’t you want to make money? What do you mean you won’t have internships, don’t you want a job? How are you going to survive? This blitzkrieg of questioning and doubt, though theoretically peripheral to the bigger picture, is reasonably common, however, severely unjustified. Pursuing a formal college education in music is easily one of the best things you could do for yourself, regardless of whether or not this is the career path of your choosing. As a student of formal music education, you are actually being trained in more real world skills than most other majors, which will prepare you for many careers, making you stand-out amongst the masses. Being a music major, you learn more than just music, you learn problem-solving skills, how to communicate and collaborate, and how to overcome failure, which are all essential skills to have as a professional in today’s day

A while ago, I was deciding on whether to do NJHS or not. NJHS is tons of commitment, but my permanent record would then describing me as an “honor student.” That would also affect how high schools and colleges would look at me. Have you ever gotten to a point where you needed to make a life-changing decision? When I made my decision about NJHS, I asked many of people for their advice on this issue and if they had joined or not. Why? The answer is obvious. Asking a large group of people for help about a decision will let someone know about the public’s general opinion about that person’s choice, prevent people from giving him or her bad advice, and will let that person consider multiple reasons for their points of view.

“Opportunity is missed most by people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work” As Edison said any opportunity given will always take work to achieve, but right now we have we have a great opportunity to make the school a better place. We have already fixed up the gym and built a new football field and a new track. Isn’t it about time we get a real stage for our drama and music departments? First you will hear a melody that will explain all the new opportunities a stage will provide to the students. Than you will the financial cost of the stage acted out for you. Finally it will all be put together for the final show and you will see where the stage will be build and what the stage will include.
