Western Africa Persuasive Speech

We as african americans must be prepared mentally as well as physically to be able to overcome the struggles that are yet to come. We must take matters into our own hands and change the way society perceives us. The nation we live in has made us racially diverse and we will no longer tolerate it. Society feels every other race is superior to ours, we must change such assumption.

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 2014 the United States was hit with a force far more deadly and dangerous than many threats received. The ebola virus took the world by storm after it was carried to the United States and spread by people who had visited West Africa. This virus was all the more deadly as it often took hours for any symptoms to occur. In this time the Center for Disease Control spent much time and many resources looking for answers to the many questions they had. Under the time constraint and scrutinizing public, they had to determine what ebola was, what it did and its effects on the general public.

A typical day here includes large pickup trucks roaming around town picking up and dropping off infected corpses. The CDC (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has provided the indigenous people with treatment facilities, medication and staff to help diminish the severity of the outbreak. The townspeople have took it

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

It was October 6, 1998 when he was lured from the bar that cold, fateful night. His skull was smashed with a pistol butt as he was lashed to a fence, left for dead in near freezing temperatures. Nearly eighteen hours later he was found by passersby and taken to a hospital where we remained in a coma for several days until slowly slipping away. At his funeral, picketers carried signs saying, "God Hates Fags" and *Fags Deserve to Die."

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.

Two of our fellow seniors, Curtis Robinson and Sumayyah Singletary, have taken the initiative to plan an unofficial class trip. The following is a message from them:

Over the centuries the world has knocked on death’s door, and it has been pushed over the threshold by disease and plague. In each case something has caused this extra push. The sickness is bad enough, but something else has posed a threat.This extra threat is the frenzy and madness that comes with each outbreak. People choose to let their fear get the best of them. Mass hysteria and fear are hindering effective Ebola containment in spite of the United States’ high level of preparation and a multitude of worldly issues to fret about.

Every time you turn on the news or pick up a newspaper, there is something being reported about the spread of Ebola. The Ebola outbreaks occurring in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia are growing larger and larger. This is the largest outbreak with more cases and deaths since Ebola was first discovered nearly four decades ago. United States doctors and missionaries have traveled to these countries to help treat infected people. However, there have now been cases where U.S. citizens have contracted the disease and have been brought back to the United States to be treated. This has caused raised concerns about the disease spreading in the U.S. as well. The physical, cultural, economic, political and religious geography of Africa have all played

(National Geographic)” Also, healthcare workers could potentially not want to go to Africa to help if they are going to be quarantined on arrival back in their home country. Frieden says, “health care workers might be unwilling to help out in West Africa, making it more likely the disease will keep landing on American shores. (National Geographic)” Over the short term, some cases of Ebola in the united states could be prevented, CNN states, but for the long term, it could back fire if highly trained personnel have more incentive not to go to west Africa to help with the disease. Dr. John Carlson spent four weeks working with Ebola patients and says that, “healthcare workers already sacrifice their time to those who need it, and that quarantining them might seem like a punishment, discouraging people like him to do it again. (CNN)” Some individuals also claim that Ebola is no worse than other illnesses, such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV, or bacterial infections. They claim that at one point in time these illnesses had once sparked a fire of fear in hearts of people around the world and that today are looked at as not as serious when people are still also affected by these diseases daily and also die from them daily.

Good afternoon fellow delegates, thank you for getting time out of your day to concentrate on this situation. I would like to address the fact that the US should continue to be involved with the Middle East. There are many reasons why i believe this is the right thing. For starters the Middle east exports a large amount oil, which is needed to continue to operate many things. There is also the building of conflict between Europe and the Middle East about who should be in control (as it states in an article in my notebook). This can lead to something very extreme like war, if we do not discuss it. Then there is the fact that the US is one of Israels greatest allies.This means that if we do not continue to be involved more people in Israel

Ebola has been around for thousands of years, but we had just discovered it when a man from Africa came over to the United States, Dallas, Texas specifically, and brought the disease with him. He nearly spread his disease to over 130 passengers on the plane. He had put unknowing people at risk. He should’ve taken a precaution for the others around him and waited to see if the disease would go away.

With the Black Lives Matter movement at an all-time high, Dream Kardashian being born, and protests about Trump becoming president many people have forgotten about South Sudan. South Sudan in the world’s youngest nation located in East-central Africa. It is a country that is rich in oil, but it is also one of the least developed countries in the world since it has been in decades of civil war. South Sudan gained its independence from Sudan in 2011. The country has fought numerous civil wars, the most recent being due to the collapse of a peace deal, signed by the two opposing factions, President Salva Kirr, and Riek

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
