What Are some good ideas for Persuasive topics that are fascinating for one to learn about. I need new ideas, not same old stories! Thank you so much!
Answer
Persuade/Convince your audience to take a stance against school burn out:
--SCHOOL BURN-OUT: This controversial issue is concerning the amount of school-related activities and requirements teens face now in high school & how that often leads to "school burn-out." Faced with an unlimited amount of choices combined with the pressure of a fast-paced-world, teens are spreading their selves too thin by engaging in a number of commitments. Besides physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion, there are several more pressing consequences of school burn-out. Persuade your audience to evaluate this issue.
Persuade/Convince your audience to oppose yellow journalism:
--YELLOW JOURNALISM: Media for many people are a source of information on topics and news. But the current trend has showed how sensationalism in journalism is becoming widespread. These sensational and scandalous stories are called "Yellow Journalism," which is journalism that exploits, distorts, or exaggerates the news to create sensations and attract readers or viewers. Tired of news on TV that exploit other people's misfortunes? Persuade your audience on why it is unethical for journalists to make money from stories on victimizations, scandals, natural disasters, deaths, and war?
Persuade your audience to value:
-- PLAY – What’s It Good For?
Several studies over the past decade have looked at the effects of play deprivation and found that an absence of play in supportive, positive contexts can create violent, antisocial, mentally impaired and emotionally sterile adults. In one study, about 95% of the convicted murderers who were examined reported either the absence of play as children or illogical, brutal, abnormal play such as bullying, sadism and extreme teasing. In the same study, around 75% of drunk drivers who were examined reported play abnormalities. The play that builds children’s physical, social, cognitive and affective development does not happen in front of a video game after school or when a child is alone in her bedroom watching TV and instant messaging a friend. Good play is play that involves physical activity, creativity, spontaneity, exploration and social interaction. It engages the body in fine and gross motor development and the mind in negotiations, autonomous thinking, problem solving, imagination and flexibility.

What are some really good ways to go green?

I already turned off everything in my bedroom, planted ten trees, I don't take any longer than 15 minute showers, I raised salmon...Any other Ideas? Oh and I recycle as much as possible. Thanks!
Answer
Going green is easy, there are so many great resources about the subject. My personal favorite is "The Green Book" which has parts of its book online as well at www.readthegreenbook.com.
As I have been striving to "Go Green" I realize it is like stepping back in time without getting rid of my modern conveniences. I'm doing many things I learned as a child, like line drying my clothes, sweeping instead of vacuuming, opening the windows in the morning to catch the cool breeze, only buying what I need instead of everything that looks cool, growing some of my own food, and canning what I can't eat now.
To me "going Green" is a frame of mind. Do what fits your lifestyle and do the easy things first, it is a process and like dieting if you go to radical to soon, you are more likely to go back to bad habits. I also believe there are good, better, best choices in most things. If you aren't ready to start a home garden, then try finding a farmers market, until you locate one look for produce grown as close to home as possible and go organic when available.
Many people think "going green" is expensive, I disagree. Some changes may take an initial investment, but they usually have a short payoff time. Things like weatherstiping and insulation cost, but the energy savings will add up quickly. You may need to purchase reusable bags, but most stores give you a 5 or 10 cent credit, so you are paid back within a few months.
My top tips are make your home more energy efficient, that also means using natural light, cooling and heating.
Reduce your packaging, if you eat more fresh food you will generally reduce packaging, it's the same thing they tell dieters, shop the perimiter, that is where all the meat, dairy and produce are located. Only buy what you will use, many Americans throw away a lot of unused food. Buy in bulk, that doesn't just mean large packages, but that area with the bins that you buy only what you plan on using.
Replace disposable items with durable items, if you eat outside often and use disposable paper or plastic plates, it is a wise investment to purchase a set of reusable plastic plates. Replace disposable razors, diapers and cleaning products like swiffer. Avoid bottled water, get a home filter like Pur or Brita.
Recycle, www.earth911.org will help you locate the nearest recycle center. I try to only purchase plastics that are #1 or #2, they are more easily recycled. I also buy recycled products when available, that includes paper towels, napkings, toilet paper, tissue, school/office supplies and clothing.
Detox your cleaning, vinegar and baking soda clean almost anything, they can even losen a hair clog. Seventh Generation and Method are a couple mainstream brands that are very earth friendly.
Just start small and build from there, don't get overwhelmed.
