...Essence Meadoweal April 5th, 2015 Persuasive Speech Interpersonal Communications Title: Go To Bed with Sex Ed General Purpose: to persuade my class sex education should be taught in school Specify: As the generations advance in aspects like technology. Adolescents are beginning to advance in sexuality at an early age as well. Central Idea: Sex education will help Preteens and Teens understand how their bodies operate, how diseases are transmitted, and how to speak up.

[3] Credibility: When I attended High School in Georgia during my freshman to junior year it was required to take a sex education to keep us informed on current STD’s and STI’s, pregnancy, and our bodies. Although we were not required to get tested the pregnancy rates were lower that the high school I attended in Kentucky. Connect with the Audience: If you want to keep teens educated about current diseases and prevent school wide pregnancies and infections you will agree to educate them about sex. State Central: Sex education will help Preteens and Teens understand how their bodies operate, how diseases are transmitted, and how to speak up.

...Persuasive Speech: Workforce Protections Good day class. Good day professor. My name is Jatanie Jonas and today I ask you, is Sexual Harassment a problem for men as well as women? It is often stated that sexual harassment of a man by a woman is silly at best, dangerous at worst. After all, everyone knows sexual harassment is something a man does to a woman. This assumption is reflected in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's guidelines on sexual harassment, where the harasser is always a “he” and the victim a “she.” But in the opposition, many believe that the issue of sexual harassment is not about gender or sexual orientation. Sexual harassment is about people forgetting other people are human and not only a vice president, secretary, student or wife. It's about people's fear of a lack of control over their own lives. The most published research on sexual harassment agrees: Women are victims; men are harassers. In surveys, some 40 percent of women report being harassed at work, compared to a negligible proportion of men. When men do report harassment, their harassers are often other men. This supports the theory that sexual harassment is less about sexual desire and more about control and domination. Men still retain most of the workplace supervisory positions, and they are the ones who decide whether or not a complaint of sexual harassment is justified. Because of this, if a woman complains about the man who exposed himself to her, in most cases, she is the...

...Presenting A Speech Giving a good oral speech is a skill that is required in all walks of life. This is a skill that can be learned and can be improved over time. There are a few things a presenter must do before actually giving a speech. The first is pick a topic. This is important because the presenter must know what he or she is going to talk about. The next factor you need is to know your audience. The best presenters are audience-centered presenters. The last step in giving a good presentation is the method of presentation. This makes the biggest impact on an audience. There are four basic types of speeches; to inform, to instruct, to persuade, and to entertain. A presenter must decide what speech he or she will give and find a presentation method. The entertaining speech is to provide pleasure and enjoyment that makes the audience laugh or identify with an anecdote. The persuasive speech is used to convince people to change something. This could be the way they think, what they do, or to do something new. The informative speech is used to provide interesting and useful information to the audience. A demonstrative speech is similar to an informative speech with one main difference which is that it includes how to do what it is that is being taught. Each of these speeches are organized in similar ways. A presenter will organize them in the best way for it to flow and be simple to follow. Once the speech is organized, the next thing to decide is how to present the speech to an...

...Chelsea McMillen’s Persuasive Speech Outline General Purpose: To persuade my audience Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience into being in favor of distributing contraceptives (condoms, birth control pills, spermicides, etc.) in high schools. Thesis statement: In order to explain why contraceptives are becoming such a necessity in schools today, I will share how teen parenthood is being glorified, reasons for such an increase in teenage pregnancies, and how effective distributing contraceptives would be. INTRODUCTION I. Attention getter: (show slide of pregnant girls) How many of you have ever seen television shows like “16 and Pregnant”, “Teen Mom”, or “The Secret Life of an American Teenager”? II. Credibility statement: I am not a teen parent, but I have several friends who are and went to school with several teenage parents. Once I chose this topic, I did a lot of research online about the rising problem of teen pregnancy and the unfortunate consequences of contraceptives not being available to teenagers. III. Relating to the Audience: While most of you are probably not teenage parents, I bet many of you know either a couple girls who got pregnant at a young age or a few guys who got girls pregnant at a young age. Teenage pregnancy is something that affects all of us in some way, either in our homes and neighborhoods or on our televisions and computer screens. IV.

...section Vi essay forms Many people use the term “essay” to mean any paper written for a class. In actuality, there are many different types of essays, each of which has a unique purpose, form, and style. We call these different types of essays “modes of discourse,” and they include expository, persuasive, and comparecontrast essays to name just a few. This section of the Guide has a dual purpose. First, various types of essays are described and suggestions are included about how to approach each particular type of writing. Second, the sample essays are good tools for you to see how these different essays look in their final form. These are not templates (no essay can be a carbon copy of another even in form), but they will give you a good idea of what a final piece of writing for each mode of discourse looks like. It would be advantageous to critically analyze the form and content of each sample against the instruction for how to write each type of essay. chapter 21 expository essays Jennifer propp An expository essay explains something using facts rather than opinions. The purpose of this type of essay is to inform an audience about a subject. It is not intended to persuade or present an argument of any kind. Writing this type of essay is a good way to learn about all the different perspectives on a topic. Many students use the expository essay to explore a variety of topics, and do so in a wide range of formats, including “process” and “definition”...

Twenty-three percent of the population participates in binge drinking (59.7 million) and 6.5% of the population reported heavy drinking (17.0 million). An estimated 81.4% of people who drank alcohol for the first time were younger than age 21 at the time they started drinking, and 9.3 million underage people aged 12 to 20 were current drinkers. Short term effects of alcohol include: * Slurred speech * Drowsiness * Relaxation * Feelings of pleasure * Distorted vision * Impaired judgment and slowed thinking * Decreased perception and coordination * Unconsciousness * Blackouts (memory lapses where the drinker cannot remember events that occurred while under the influence) Long term effects of alcohol include: * Liver failure * Brain damage * Sexual dysfunction * Fetal alcohol syndrome and other birth defects during pregnancy * Stomach ulcers * Malnutrition * Weight gain * Risk of cancer in the mouth and throat * High blood pressure * Increased risk for stroke and heart-related diseases * Tolerance and physical dependence * Addiction 2.

...access to because of certain state’s government have laws limiting that access to birth control. By the government controlling women’s access to birth control they are controlling the liberty for women. Birth control has been a very controversial topic and taboo since the classical period. Before one can grasp why and how birth control and the use of birth control can be controversial, one will need to understand what birth control is and the history. First, birth control should be viewed as a woman’s basic right that goes hand in hand with her first amendment right, and without any interference from the government. The all encompassing question is what is birth control? Birth control is a practice, material, or device by which sexual intercourse can be rendered incapable of producing a pregnancy (Walker 161). While birth control through the centuries had been practice by both men and women in an extensive variety of ways, but only in the past two centuries that birth control has become a big matter of public debate. At a point in time, even speaking and writing about birth control was not protected by our first amendment. The law that forbids any mere...

By attending to warrants in this way it becomes possible to provide telling insights into the author’s persuasive style and into the value system or worldview which is taken for granted...

...MASS MEDIA EFFECTS In partial fulfillment of the requirements of Theories of Communication (LAC 701) A paper prepared by Group Four John Fasisi (91817) Kalim Gazal (136615) Moyofade Ipadeola (95580) Nwachukwu Egbunike (147181) Oluwaseun Oti (168137) Seyi Bodunde (168139) Victor Eze (167521) And submitted to: Professor F. A. Adesanoye Department of Communication and Language Arts Faculty of Arts University of Ibadan November 27, 2012 ABSTRACT This literature-driven study examined mass media effects. The work peered into the history of the ‘powerful media’. An in-depth review of relevant theories of mass media effects was analyzed. Findings pointed towards both positive and negative impacts of mass media. However, there was no empirical evidence to substantiate a direct cause and effect relationship of mass media messages with the actions of the consumer of the information. Consequently we can only assert that the mass media impacts on society but does not necessarily have an effect since other factors also influence people other than information consumed from the media. As such, this study asserts that the mass media influences public opinion but does not necessarily cause it. Key words: powerful media, mass media effects, theories of mass media effects, impact of media messages INTRODUCTION The mass media involve organisations that are responsible for the dissemination of information to a large number of people. Basically, the mass media...
