Persuasive Speech On The Future

Today's generation is more connected to technology and are living faster paced lives than any other generation preceding them. In the generation of the millennials the presents of technology is everywhere from the time they wake up till the time they go to sleep; they are influenced by technology in all aspects of their life. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, “Children 11 to 14 spend more than 50 hours a week in front of a screen” (qtd. in Egan and Egan). This connection to technology consumes a lot of their time and leaves little to no time to concentrate on the physical world around them. Technology hinders a millennials ability to have a sense of connection and responsibility for their natural world.

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.

In “Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?” written by, the Psychology Doctor, Jean M. Twenge, she presents the results produced after twenty-five years of research (Twenge para3). Her research was carried out to understand the new generation and explain how it differs to the previous generations (Twenge para9). Although her style is indeed formal, she utilized a heavy amount of credentials, logos, emotional appeal and a factual tone, to enforces her appeal on the parents of the kids of this new generation. Furthermore, she underlays her stand on the topic throughout her analysis, rather than having a direct approach and states actual percentages to compare previous generations to the new one, which leads to a sense of validity. It is not until the very end, that she finally states her stand in a more direct sense, since she has now gained the trust of her audience.

Throughout Kathryn Tyler’s article, “The Tethered Generation,” she discusses the effects of technology and helicopter parents on the millennial generation. Tyler believes that technology has became an easy way for parents to continue to watch over their children as they age (Tyler 478). Tyler also says technology is helping oppressive parents continue to smother their children and that people in the millennial generation are not becoming adults in every aspect of life in the time frame they should be (478). An enormous factor of growing up is being able to make mistakes and figure out problems and solutions alone. This is being taken away by cellphones because young adults constantly have a lifeline to call or text, such as their parents who help solve their problems. As Kathryn Tyler explains in relatable ways throughout her article, technology and helicopter parents are a concerning issue for our future because they prevent young adults from gaining the necessary skills needed to become prominent and responsible adults.

This generation is full of parents staring at their phone and technology, so the kids go being ignored. I saw that parents are still kids at heart sometimes, after seeing the parents play with the son’s Nintendo DS once they were sleep. I learned that we are never too old to use our imagination every once and a while.

The beginning of the story sounds like something our society is inching quickly towards. Nowadays, most children know how to work electronic devices more than their parents. What does this say about future technological advances and the children that

Twenge is thorough and credible in listing the many ways in which youth and young adults of today are affected by new technology. The article was intended to prove that children who grow up with a phone or tablet in their hands will have

Now is the time to take promptly bold actions to prevent the worst of climate change and tackle the wider environmental crisis that are already inevitable! One hundred and fifty years ago, President Abraham Lincoln took some bold actions when he addressed the US Congress in a letter saying: “The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.” By all means, he stood before the Congress to confront a major issue of his time: Slavery. Back then, it was obvious that everybody knew it had to come to an end, but no one had the

the past few decades of American Society, technology has become a major factor in everyday life. As years go by, one will see many young children with phones, computers, or any form of technological device. This demand for technology has left children with an undesirable wanting for these devices. Because of technology, kids will forget the necessary foundations of life. Technology has resulted in a weakened foundation that children decades ago used to have. This includes the bases of necessary social skills and behaviors that children should have.

The growing technology field has severely impacted how children are able to adjust to minor adversities

Technology is taking over our society. Our children have an attachment bond with their electronic devices such as: the computer, cellular phones, IPods and television. These devices are taking over our children minds. Have we ever wonder what this world would be like if everything was robotic? Have we ever wondered what these electronic devices are doing to our children? In today’s society, every child, from a two year old to an adult, has a cellular phone or IPod or some kind of electronic devices. Our technological industries have shown a drastic increased since 1945 after World War II. Technological advancement is evident in most of the industrial countries,

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

This theme has many perspectives. Some parents might think it’s their child and what gift they will give their generation, while some believe it’s all of this technology we have today. It is a gift to not just our generation, but for many generations to come. Not just people in general, but their diversity, their freedoms, and the changes a person can make in the world. Many of our minds think in very different ways.

Several stereotypical accusations have come across such like them being self-absorbed, and too dependent on inanimate objects like their phones and tablets. To support this Tyler reminds the readers of the parenting the children are experiencing. Keeping that as a point she addresses the fact that the generation should not solely be the one to blame, that those not in this generation should learn how to benefit from it. She then argues it will take work from both sides in order for all generations to be as successful as possible.

Have you ever wondered how the next generation of children would impact the world? With the internet at our fingertips and the vast amount of information accessible many young men and women have taken this opportunity to change the world. They change the world by innovating and finding new and easy ways to do everyday tasks. President John F. Kennedy states in his inaugural speech that it is the nation’s responsibility to help make the world a better place. Bob Dylan’s song, "The Times They Are A-Changin'" talks about how the world is going to become different and that we should be ready to move on when that time arrives. “The A&P” by John Updike discusses the status between previous and new generation. The next generation is ready to take ownership from the old.

So, today we are in New Year 2016 and I hope everyone has their own new year resolutions or goals, such as thin people wish to gain weight, fat people wish to lose weight, some wish to spend less to become rich so that they can spend more, and some they wish to quit bad habits. So, I would like to wish good luck for your resolutions to be achieved.
