Persuasive Speech

Des Moines is an important case for free speech in the United States. It affirms that students don’t lose their rights when they go to school. However, it also affirmed that schools can limit speech that “materially disrupts classwork or involves substantial disorder or invasion of the rights of others” (Tinker v. Des Moines, 1969). However, the Court has ruled that there are times that the school can limit speech. In 1986, the Supreme Court ruled in Bethel v. Fraser that students can be disciplined for using vulgar and offensive language in school (Gooden, Eckes, Mead, McNeal, & Torres, 2013, p. 25). This case differed from Tinker v. Des Moines because that case was about political speech or expression. Another example of where school can limit the First Amendment is school sponsored newspapers. This was affirmed by the Court in Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier (1988). That decision stated that schools can reasonably limit the content of school-sponsored newspapers (Gooden, Eckes, Mead, McNeal, & Torres, 2013, p.

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.

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

Have you served in a war? Has your father or mother served in a war? How about your grandpa? As we honor those who have served we typically do so by standing for the pledge of allegiance or star spangled banner. We say thank you to our war heroes or we go and visit them and listen to their stories. In this paper I will be discussing why NFL players should not be allowed to kneel for the flag. Although the NFL players have the right to peacefully protest, they should find a different way than kneeling as it shows disrespect towards the flag also active duty military and veterans, it teaches young children this behavior is okay, what they are protesting has nothing to do with the flag and there are many different ways to get their message out.

middle to higher income areas due to the fact that that these middle to higher income areas realize that required school uniforms is the last thing that they are worried about, these districts have more complicated issues they have to take head on. There are issues that have to be addressed in a certain order, having to worry about a required uniform for the students are the last thing they are worried about. The reasons for required school uniforms in low income areas vs. medium or high income areas may surprise you, such as the fact that these low income areas are low performing.Yes,required dress code policies, implement benefits and advantages to Cps students such as deterring them from getting in the middle of violence to reducing bullying, peer pressure. Yet the implementation of school uniforms in low income areas has no actual evidence of helping students academically. Changing the requirement for school uniforms for Cps students guide students to focus more on their studies, showing students uniforms will not form their

Since the 1990s, the practice of having public school students wear uniforms--like their private school peers--has been credited with some amazing results. School uniforms, proponents have said, can lead to improved discipline and classroom behavior, increased school attendance, respect for teachers, better school performance, higher student self-esteem and confidence, lower clothing costs, promotion of group spirit,

I was going over my preschool day and had a couple of questions for you.

The first amendment guarantees freedom of expression and speech. In many supreme court cases, the school has won the cases, because their decision was backed by what the amendment says. A case in 1986, involving Bethel School District and Matthew Fraser, went in favor of the school holding Fraser for suspension. The case arose when Fraser was giving a speech nominating a friend of his for associated vice president. The speech was seen in a way of being inappropriate, as it was filled with sexual references, just not pure profanity. Since the speech was said in front of the school, they had the right to monitor his speech. At first, the US 9th circuit of appeals ruled in Fraser's favor saying that the school did in fact violate his first amendment, but when the school took it to the supreme court the decision was reversed, saying the school was not violating his rights. At the end of this case, the school was in the right and the student was in the wrong for the language he used during his speech in front of the entire school.

In the Tinker vs. Des Moines School District law case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that students that the students had the right to wear black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam war. The court determined that the student did not lose their First Amendment Rights to freedom of speech when they stepped onto school property. Court besides determined that schools may bound student expression if there is a reasonable distress that such expression will be troublesome to the learning environment or infringe the rights of others.

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

Life is a beautiful thing. However, it is not always easy. There will be difficulties and challenges along the way. There is no human being on earth who has not encounter struggles, suffering, or failure in life. Sometimes the challenges we experience can be the pathway to self realization. A wake up call that alter our own perspectives and outlook in life. These hardships test the courage, perseverance and true character of a human being. In the ted talk I have watched titled “3 things I learned as my plane crashed”, I am amazed by how brave the speaker was in facing life again. Ric Elias, speaker of the ted talk video, and a front row seater of flight 1549 had survived a plane crashed. Despite that, he still views life in a positive way and uses this unforgettable experience as a motivation to become a better person. He shared his experience in order to to enlighten the audience’s mind and persuade them to live life meaningfully and with a purpose.

Whenever people ask, “If you could describe yourself in one word, what would it be?” I always replied with “adventurous.” I was always down for anything; skydiving, scuba diving, or just sightseeing in general, never have I ever regretted any of my decisions, little did I know that in the next ten hours, all of that would change.

Actively choosing what to think is maybe one of the most important and yet challenging and exhausting things we must do. David Foster Wallace talks about just that in his commencement speech at Kenyon University in 2005. Reading this confronted me about how easy it is for me to get comfortable in my default setting, of letting myself think about the world in a self-centric way. It’s the person sitting beside me in class smacking their gum, who is clearly doing it just to annoy me, smacking louder each time. It’s the preconceived plan of the group of high school students walking slowly in a group through the mall to irritate me when all I want to do is buy my rain boots and leave. I can so easily wrap myself up in thinking that everyone is out to hurt me. I repetitively fall into the trap of thinking that whenever plans fall through with friends; It is not because the person was really too tired or an assignment came up or something logical like that. No, it always has to do with me. It is because that person does not want to hang out with me or I offend them by something I’ve done. They want to hurt me, they want to hang out with other people. It hurts, every time, but it’s me who causes myself that pain. I am the one who made it up. I forget that though, probably 9 times out of 10 that person just needed alone time or to get a few more hours of sleep. They are not seeking out ways to hurt me. I make these small, insignificant decisions and changes into the end of the

The short speech written by William Safire is very effective in achieving its purpose. This article in not insipid, it captures the audience and allows them to feel the emotions of the people.“Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin...know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.” Safire mentions the sacrifice those two men made and honors them for what they did for mankind. Not only are they credited for their accomplishments, but also honored and mourned. “...these men were the first[on the moon], and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.” These two astronauts started the space missions and they will forever be remembered for the world they opened. This speech is very effective in honoring, mourning, and congratulating the two astronauts who changed history.

Set the alarm for 8:37 precisely. That leaves just enough time to throw on some clothes before you run out the door to go to school. If you go to bed right now, you can sleep for four hours and fifteen minutes. Four hours and ten minutes. Four hours and two minutes. Stop looking at the clock before it guilts you into quitting for the night.
