Persuasive Speech: FOMO In The World Around Us
Title: FOMO in the World Around Us
Specific Purpose: To inform about the fear of missing out
Intro
I. Attention Getter: Socrates once said: "The man who desires something desires what is not
available to him, and what he doesn't already have in his possession." (Levin, "Fear of missing out
can threaten financial decisions")
II. Thesis Statement: The fear of missing out, more commonly know as FOMO, is a phobia that has
affected people throughout generations, infiltrating into all areas of our lives.
III. Reason to Listen: In our society today, due to technologically reliant world we live in, this fear
affects us more than ever before.
IV. Credibility to Statement: I personally have experienced FOMO and felt the effects of it in my life.

With an obsession with out work, we can miss out on moments with our families and friends, and as
cheesy as it sounds, fail to enjoy life.
[Transition: Next, let's see why this fear of missing out is so prevalent in our day to day lives in the
modern era.]
II. FOMO has such a strong presence in so many lives because of our addiction to social media.
A. Harris Interactive did a study, which found that 62 percent of Americans said that they
constantly check their social media because they were afraid of missing out. Forty percent said that
they would rather do their taxes, get a root canal, or even go to jail before they deleted their social
media accounts. (Tinsley, "FOMO Trumps FOPL With American Adults")
B. Think about what you post on social media. Most people tend to post mostly the highlights of
their lives, so when we are constantly living in these perfect virtual worlds, we tend to feel like our
lives are inferior due to the lack of reality.
[Transition: I think it is safe to say that we all experience FOMO, so what effect does it have on our
lives?]
III. Our FOMO can actually have enormously negative effects on our lives A. With constant
comparison, comes anxiety and a lack of

Persuasive Essay On Suicide
In today's society, suicide can be a multifaceted issue, sometimes an act of heroism, selfishness,
love, or a brave choice. I am arguing against suicide because it is not a solution to a problem, it
should not even be included as an option. Suicide is simply defined as "the deliberate taking of
one's own life, usually the result of a psychiatric disorder, although sometimes deliberated in the face
of life–threatening physical illness, significant interpersonal stress, or when under the influence of
one or more substances of abuse" (Piotrowski). This topic interests me because of the fact that the
rates are increasing year after year and it can happen to someone close to me at any moment. This
topic should interest you too because someone close to you can show warning signs, which can be
subtle or more discernible. Also if you are reading this as a parent, you should know "suicide is the
third leading cause of death for those between the ages of ten and fourteen, and it is the second
leading cause of death for those ages fifteen to thirty–four" (Goff). Yet the factors that play into a
someone's decision is anything but simple. The most obvious and severe effect of suicide is the loss
of a meaningful, valuable human life. "In the United States in 2013, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 41,149 individuals committed suicide and approximately
494,169 received medical treatment for self–inflicted injuries. The World Health Organization
(WHO) reported an estimated 800,000 suicides worldwide in 2016, and suicide is the second
leading cause of death among fifteen– to twenty–nine–year–olds worldwide. Women attempt suicide
more often than men, but men complete suicide more often than women because men tend to use
more lethal means, such as a firearm" (Piotrowski). With suicide rates on a continuous rise in
America, society must ask what can be done to save lives.
The main argument against suicide is that it is selfish, which is true. By you killing yourself, it
causes a lot of pain to those left behind, like your family, loved ones, friends, etc. They tend to
blame themselves for your death. Even if you feel like nobody in the whole world cares about you,
you are wrong. When you think

Persuasive Essay On A Cartoon
So many people submit cartoons to the New YorkerВ® and before each magazine we look at
around 1000 cartoons and we only select 15 per edition. We are sadly informing you that your
cartoon has been rejected but we hope you submit more in the future. Here we are looking for a
specific set of imitate details that your cartoon didn't incorporate. Although the cartoon was original,
funny, and a little raunchy, we here feel that to many people would be offended and that would thus
be a day in the park for the local and national media. Although I enjoyed your cartoon there were to
many cons than pros.
A cartoon needs to be a simple drawing that exerts humor in an exaggerated way for a newspaper
or your own personal collection. Here at The New YorkerВ® we appreciate you choosing us for
your submission and we appreciate that choice you have made. The New YorkerВ® is the best of
the best for striving cartoonist to be featured in and to boost business for cartoonists. We would like
to help you improve and grow as a striving cartoonist. There were a few nicks and crannies that I
noticed while looking at your cartoon that cause me to turn down your submission. The two strong
reasons that we turned it down was because of the offensiveness towards transgenders and the
recent events that are occurring with LGBTQ communities and "peaceful protests". Pick a different
time and this would have been a hit and a super great possible selection for our magazine. So, let's
go into the background and details about why we rejected your cartoon and how we feel you can
improve to become an even better cartoonist.
A comic is like vegetables, some people like them and some people don't. A good cartoonist needs
to understand that not everyone will like the comic and that's ok, you simply can't "win them all".
Comics balance between danger and fear, you need to find the right balance where there's humor
and a little danger just to give people the, "famous guilty laugh". This famous laugh is where we
know its offensive and bad but hey its funny and makes us smile so therefore it's ok to laugh,
maybe even if it's just this one time. Humor is tricky to capture and I think we can all agree on this.
There are three parts to humor and you need to

Persuasive Speech On Pranks
Pranks are made to illicit laughter and fun. However, in doing some pranks, you should ensure that
you have the right person as the victim (no health conditions such as heart problems, and not

cater to your needs because you are their customer and you have been patronizing them for several

Persuasive Essay On Procrastination
Have you ever postponed something super important because you wanted to have fun on a Friday
night? Convincing yourself "Oh, I'll just get it done tomorrow?" This action of putting off a task
until the next day or a later time is called procrastination. Someone displaying procrastination would
either be delaying their work for another job that they consider more important or distracting
themselves with an activity that is more interesting. Many people believe that only disorganized or
lazy people acquire or pick up this intrusive habit, but I disagree with this misconception. Productive
people, too, occasionally lack the desire to get things done on time. Take for example myself; I have
always struggled with this mannerism and even more...show more content...
The prefrontal cortex is what makes an individual decide to engage in a task. With that in mind,
putting work off makes it easier for the limbic system to dominate and give immediate pleasure
feelings which the brain prefers. In other words, people begin to manipulate this perception and
enjoy the short–term effects because it becomes more satisfying not to complete the task. This
habit can start to control how or when we choose to tend to our responsibilities (Spencer). I
recognize this feeling on a daily basis. For example, there was a day that I decided I was going to
study in the library as I would hopefully be more productive in that setting. However, as soon as I
sat down I began to fiddle with everything I could get my hands on. From obnoxiously twirling my
pencil to watching time–consuming YouTube videos, I wasn 't very productive, and as a result, I
had to cram until two AM for an exam the next day. I had always known thatprocrastination was
satisfying, and now with this new information that confirms that it feeds off of my "good" feelings
based on my body 's anatomy. Moving on, I then researched how to recognize why myself and
others procrastinate in the first place. The first reason people procrastinate is that they "become"
perfectionists. As procrastination becomes a more common act, it can also bring about the action of
perfectionism. Harold Taylor does a fantastic job at identifying perfectionism, along with other
reasons

Persuasive Speech On Hunting
"For some, hunting is a hobby for me it is a passion" by picgran. People should understand hunting
because it's been in the world for over centuries. If you love to have your blood pumping with
adrenaline you should hunt. Archaeologists have unearthed what could be the earliest evidence of
ancient human ancestors hunting and scavenging meat. Animal bones and thousands of stone tools
used by ancient hominins suggest that early human ancestors were butchering and scavenging
animals at least 2 million years ago. Before you start hunting you have to take a hunting safety
course, it is to the ages 6 and older. What you do is hunting experts tell you all about the safety
and tricks of hunting. After about a week of going you have to take a test, it is a fifty question
quiz and you have to get a 40/50 or up to get your hunting licence. To get your licence you have to
go to a store that provides it like Walmart, Bass Pro, etc... What the person does is when you pass
the test you get this little ticket. You give the person the ticket and they put you in the system
really. You should already know from the beginning, but you have to choose if you want to use a
rifle or a bow in arrow or both. Either way you can still hunt. When you choose If you want to use
a bow or rifle when you hunt you need to make sure you know how to use it properly. If you want
to use a rifle you first need to make sure the safety it on when handling it. When walking make sure

Persuasive Essay A person's actions are more important than what they say because it shows their
loyalty and trust. What a person does is much better than what they can say , it reveals their
character more. Everyone can say they can do something , but will they actually do it? Not many
people will fulfill what they say they are going to do. Saying a person will do something and
actually doing it are two completely different things. If you continually let people down , no one
will trust you. However , if you tell someone you are going to do something and actually go
through with it , you will gain their trust and they will know you are loyal. Knowing someone is
loyal to you and will not go against you is a great feeling, it gives a person

Persuasive Essay On Compulsory Voting
In a modernized society that highly values civil rights and equality, it is paramount for every citizen
of a country to vote. Throughout history, people of minority and many others have fought for the
notorious right to vote, and some even putting their lives on the line. Thus, a blessing of compulsory
voting will not only give everybody an opportunity to voice how their country would like to be
governed, but also presents a fair representation of what people want. One shouldn't discount
compulsory voting to pose a havoc on civil rights, it grants everyone that right regardless of
citizenship and class. Countries should adopt compulsory voting, as countries will govern better and
citizens would be happier as their country would be controlled by how they like.
Firstly, Compulsory voting not only collects a large sample of data, but also gives a fair and honest
representation of ideals and values people want their country to abide by. For instance, in U.S.
Presidential Elections, voter turnouts were always significantly lower than its total eligible voting
adult population. Presented throughout history, this causes discrepancies and conflict amongst
people. When more and more people vote, communities can get together and agree on ideals such as
Same–Sex Marriage or raising the minimum wage, making a powerful, lively, and public movement
to change lives. This has been apparent throughout the U.S. as Same–Sex Marriage has been granted
in the U.S. through communities getting

Frank Lloyd Wright. Always open. Trivia alert: Annie and Jeff met when he portrayed FLW in a
play at the Bartell Theater. 4. Water sports: Several locations where you can rent water boards,
canoes, kayaks. My favorite is Knickerbocker Sq. on Lake Wingra, because it's a really interesting,
diverse shoreline, it has food, and it's close to a phenomenal ice–cream stand called Michael's Frozen
Custard. Anne and I keep our canoe moored on Lake Mendota so if you want to borrow that let
me know. If you want to borrow my kayak after Sunday, and feel comfortable in one, you can
borrow that too. 5. Farmer's Market: Every Saturday morning. Always ranked one of the best in the

Persuasive Essay On Dolphins
The Interesting Dolphin
Many people know those cute, funny, intelligent animals that are known as dolphins, right?
There are so many interesting things about them. Dolphins have been around for about 15 million
years now. They're extremely intelligent, probably even more intelligent than us humans. Dolphins
are becoming endangered because of humans and many don't know that. They are known as the
oceans most kind animals.Dolphins have originated millions of years ago,are extremely
endangered,and are becoming endangered.The most important thing to know about dolphins would
probably be how they originated because without that those cute aquatic mammals wouldn't even
exist. Dolphins have been around a lot longer than humans. They originated about 50 million years
ago. The most common dolphin, being the bottlenose dolphin, has been around for 15 million
years. Surprisingly, dolphins originated from members of the cetaceans group. Cetaceans used to
be land mammals but evolved into being aquatic mammals. In From Land to Water it stated, "The
transition from land to water is documented by a series of intermediate fossils from India and
Pakistan." This research helps prove how they used to be land mammals but evolved to live in the
ocean. Dolphins are one out of many aquatic mammals who need oxygen, but they need water in
order to live. Believe it or not, dolphins are somewhat related to hippos, camels, deer, cattle, and
giraffes. In From Land to Water, " Many features that are

Persuasive Essay On Success
Goals, something every human being on this planet has and to reach those goals you must be
successful. We set goals to fulfill our purpose in life, but to do that, you must be successful in
meeting and completing those goals. "How Bad Do You Want It?" is a motivational speech that
highlights the requirements of being successful. This speech is important to study because success
is so vital and important for our survival as human beings, it changes the world. No matter your race,
religion, culture, etc., you want to be successful and that will have a different definition for
everyone, because only you can define what success means to you. "How Bad Do You Want It"
encourages its audience to think differently about wanting to be successful and how to make it
happen. This speech holds all the components Aristotle says a speech needs to be effective which
include, persuasive, decorative, and informational, also meaning motivational, actionable, and fun
(Morgan, 2016). While watching the football player perform each exercise repeatedly, I witnessed
the effort and dedication he exerted through each set – this commitment resonated with me, as I am
also an athlete who is expected to elicit these qualities. Not only hay, the video serves as
confirmation that success is only attainable for those who want it bad enough and are willing to
work for it. Even the background music playing provoked an internal motivation to be proactive.

Persuasive Speech About Parenting
Parenting can be funny, exciting, boring, thrilling, challenging, confusing, satisfying, uplifting,
maddening, frustrating, unreasonable, exhausting, silly, and more.
Because of that fact, sometimes, as a parent, you just need a break.
This parenting tip is not to be taken lightly. Parenting your children will be the wildest ride you
ever take. It is certainly the most demanding of jobs. And, as you probably have already noticed, it's
a 24/7 position.
With no paid vacations.
To be the parent your kids need you to be, you've got to take some regular breaks. How many? How
often? That depends upon you and your family situation. In addition, be careful about playing the
comparison game. You may need more or less time off from parenting than other parents you know.
How do you know if it's time to take a parenting break? If you are on the verge of burnout...you
already know you need a break. Yesterday. And if you are proudly sharing stories with other
parents of how long it has been since you've had a REAL break from parenting (the kind where
someone else actually takes over the responsibility of parenting for a period of time...even an hour),
then you need to stop and plan your next time off. I've certainly been guilty of over–extending my
commitment as a parent and under–nourishing my true self. It's not something to be proud of. It's
something to pay attention to.

(Transition: So why does bullying need to stop?)
Body
Everyone has either been bullied or have been the bully, but the ones who are the bully don't see
what they're really doing until it's too late.
For the past decade, the bullying rate has been sitting at 28%, but finally dropped to 22% just a few
years ago. (U.S Department of Education, 2015)
It obviously shows that something is being done about the bullying. But do you really think it's
ever going to stop completely? Do you think if we really try to stop the bullying, will it actually
make a difference in society? I hope so because if nothing changes in the next decade, there's no
hope of anything ever being done.
I'm sure there's someone here that has either been bullied or has been the bully. Do you ever look
back at what you did or what was said to you? I sure do. B. As the bully, you don't see what you're
doing to the person because you're dealing with things yourself.
The real reason behind getting bullied is the bully himself is going through his own stuff and takes

Persuasive Essay On Online Classes
Most people think highly of online classes; get to work from home, get to work on a flexible
schedule, and anyone can do it. Though no one has heard the cons of taking one. I personally took
three semesters of online classes in high school and had a horrible experience. Because of loose
scheduling, poor communication, and the focus needed, online classes are not suitable for
procrastinators. To give a better understanding, I will summarize my experience with the class. Me,
being a procrastinator, thought to myself: I'll just work on the weekends and if I don't finish the
class by the end of the school year, I can finish within the first few weeks of summer. This was a
god awful plan. Unsurprisingly, close to nothing was accomplished on the weekends. Friends would
ask me to hang out every weekend, and I did every time. Why would I want to work on my class on
the weekend when I could be having fun? I would later regret this decision. On the days I stayed
home and could have worked on the class, I completed nothing. On these days, I would tell myself:
I'll just complete what I didn't do this weekend next weekend. This rarely happened. Thus, the cycle
of getting nothing accomplished started. I disregarded my class for most of the first semester of
junior year. With only nine assignments out of eighty finished after the first semester of the school
year, I was immensely behind. I told myself to get my act together during second semester and grind

People often say that honesty is the best policy. You should listen to them they know what they're

Or to you having a boyfriend or girlfriend before they think your old enough? Each parent in the
world is different but they all have some form of punishment. One other example would be lying
to a teacher, someone with a position of authority in a school. A student can lie about the reason
they were late to class to the old "my dog ate my homework" excuse. This kind of lying is very
difficult for the person telling the lie, because it involves telling someone who is in a position of
authority what he or she wants to hear. The student lying doesn't tell the truth to avoid
unnecessary conflict and it is studied that always telling the truth leads to more bad than good.
Another example would be those who lie to a police officer or any person related to the law. You
could tell him or her you didn't murder your algebra teacher just because you hate math but you
actually did or you could be selling drugs and telling them you aren't. If you do it once whose to
say you won't do it again? These things are very serious as well as having serious consequences. So
just tell them the truth. At the very least you'll feel better without the heavy burden of knowing that
you've lied. Lying to avoid conflict will only result in an even bigger confrontation of what it
could've been if you had told the truth in the first place.
Another reason someone might lie is to gain attention. It can be from parents, strangers, and even
your friends. Children. From the day they're born

Weighing Safety and Fun
Every day, children ask their parents if they can do something, buy something, or go somewhere.

including broken bones, concussions, and even the slight possibility of a spinal injury are some
risks of playing football. But on the other hand, by not allowing a child to play football will limit
the possibilities and benefits the child may experience while playing football. But despite the
safety issues, in my opinion, if a child wants to play football, I believe parents should allow their
child to play. Parents should allow their child to play football because extracurricular activities are
beneficial to young students, football is a character building sport, and finally, such injuries that
parents fear can be limited or even prevented.
When parents decide whether their child should go out for football, the first thing that parents should
remember is that extracurricular activities are very beneficial to a child's growth. According to Ron
Kennedy, Athletic Director of DonegalHigh School, "This participation (in extracurricular activities)

Attention Getter: Socrates once said: "The man who desires something desires what is not available to him, and what he doesn't already have in his possession." (Levin, "Fear of missing out can threaten financial decisions") II. Thesis Statement: The fear of missing out, more commonly know as FOMO, is a phobia that has affected people throughout generations, infiltrating into all areas of our lives. III. Reason to Listen: In our society today, due to technologically reliant world we live in, this fear affects us more than ever before. IV. Credibility to Statement: I personally have experienced FOMO and felt the effects of it in my life. ...show more content... With an obsession with out work, we can miss out on moments with our families and friends, and as cheesy as it sounds, fail to enjoy life. [Transition: Next, let's see why this fear of missing out is so prevalent in our day to day lives in the modern era.] II. FOMO has such a strong presence in so many lives because of our addiction to social media. A. Harris Interactive did a study, which found that 62 percent of Americans said that they constantly check their social media because they were afraid of missing out. Forty percent said that they would rather do their taxes, get a root canal, or even go to jail before they deleted their social media accounts. (Tinsley, "FOMO Trumps FOPL With American Adults") B. Think about what you post on social media. Most people tend to post mostly the highlights of their lives, so when we are constantly living in these perfect virtual worlds, we tend to feel like our lives are inferior due to the lack of reality.

  • 3. Persuasive Essay On Suicide In today's society, suicide can be a multifaceted issue, sometimes an act of heroism, selfishness, love, or a brave choice. I am arguing against suicide because it is not a solution to a problem, it should not even be included as an option. Suicide is simply defined as "the deliberate taking of one's own life, usually the result of a psychiatric disorder, although sometimes deliberated in the face of life–threatening physical illness, significant interpersonal stress, or when under the influence of one or more substances of abuse" (Piotrowski). This topic interests me because of the fact that the rates are increasing year after year and it can happen to someone close to me at any moment. This topic should interest you too because someone close to you can show warning signs, which can be subtle or more discernible. Also if you are reading this as a parent, you should know "suicide is the third leading cause of death for those between the ages of ten and fourteen, and it is the second leading cause of death for those ages fifteen to thirty–four" (Goff). Yet the factors that play into a someone's decision is anything but simple. The most obvious and severe effect of suicide is the loss of a meaningful, valuable human life. "In the United States in 2013, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 41,149 individuals committed suicide and approximately 494,169 received medical treatment for self–inflicted injuries. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported an estimated 800,000 suicides worldwide in 2016, and suicide is the second leading cause of death among fifteen– to twenty–nine–year–olds worldwide. Women attempt suicide more often than men, but men complete suicide more often than women because men tend to use more lethal means, such as a firearm" (Piotrowski). With suicide rates on a continuous rise in America, society must ask what can be done to save lives. The main argument against suicide is that it is selfish, which is true. By you killing yourself, it causes a lot of pain to those left behind, like your family, loved ones, friends, etc. They tend to blame themselves for your death. Even if you feel like nobody in the whole world cares about you, you are wrong. When you think Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Persuasive Essay On A Cartoon So many people submit cartoons to the New YorkerВ® and before each magazine we look at around 1000 cartoons and we only select 15 per edition. We are sadly informing you that your cartoon has been rejected but we hope you submit more in the future. Here we are looking for a specific set of imitate details that your cartoon didn't incorporate. Although the cartoon was original, funny, and a little raunchy, we here feel that to many people would be offended and that would thus be a day in the park for the local and national media. Although I enjoyed your cartoon there were to many cons than pros. A cartoon needs to be a simple drawing that exerts humor in an exaggerated way for a newspaper or your own personal collection. Here at The New YorkerВ® we appreciate you choosing us for your submission and we appreciate that choice you have made. The New YorkerВ® is the best of the best for striving cartoonist to be featured in and to boost business for cartoonists. We would like to help you improve and grow as a striving cartoonist. There were a few nicks and crannies that I noticed while looking at your cartoon that cause me to turn down your submission. The two strong reasons that we turned it down was because of the offensiveness towards transgenders and the recent events that are occurring with LGBTQ communities and "peaceful protests". Pick a different time and this would have been a hit and a super great possible selection for our magazine. So, let's go into the background and details about why we rejected your cartoon and how we feel you can improve to become an even better cartoonist. A comic is like vegetables, some people like them and some people don't. A good cartoonist needs to understand that not everyone will like the comic and that's ok, you simply can't "win them all". Comics balance between danger and fear, you need to find the right balance where there's humor and a little danger just to give people the, "famous guilty laugh". This famous laugh is where we know its offensive and bad but hey its funny and makes us smile so therefore it's ok to laugh, maybe even if it's just this one time. Humor is tricky to capture and I think we can all agree on this. There are three parts to humor and you need to Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 6. Persuasive Essay On Procrastination Have you ever postponed something super important because you wanted to have fun on a Friday night? Convincing yourself "Oh, I'll just get it done tomorrow?" This action of putting off a task until the next day or a later time is called procrastination. Someone displaying procrastination would either be delaying their work for another job that they consider more important or distracting themselves with an activity that is more interesting. Many people believe that only disorganized or lazy people acquire or pick up this intrusive habit, but I disagree with this misconception. Productive people, too, occasionally lack the desire to get things done on time. Take for example myself; I have always struggled with this mannerism and even more...show more content... The prefrontal cortex is what makes an individual decide to engage in a task. With that in mind, putting work off makes it easier for the limbic system to dominate and give immediate pleasure feelings which the brain prefers. In other words, people begin to manipulate this perception and enjoy the short–term effects because it becomes more satisfying not to complete the task. This habit can start to control how or when we choose to tend to our responsibilities (Spencer). I recognize this feeling on a daily basis. For example, there was a day that I decided I was going to study in the library as I would hopefully be more productive in that setting. However, as soon as I sat down I began to fiddle with everything I could get my hands on. From obnoxiously twirling my pencil to watching time–consuming YouTube videos, I wasn 't very productive, and as a result, I had to cram until two AM for an exam the next day. I had always known thatprocrastination was satisfying, and now with this new information that confirms that it feeds off of my "good" feelings based on my body 's anatomy. Moving on, I then researched how to recognize why myself and others procrastinate in the first place. The first reason people procrastinate is that they "become" perfectionists. As procrastination becomes a more common act, it can also bring about the action of perfectionism. Harold Taylor does a fantastic job at identifying perfectionism, along with other reasons Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Persuasive Speech On Hunting "For some, hunting is a hobby for me it is a passion" by picgran. People should understand hunting because it's been in the world for over centuries. If you love to have your blood pumping with adrenaline you should hunt. Archaeologists have unearthed what could be the earliest evidence of ancient human ancestors hunting and scavenging meat. Animal bones and thousands of stone tools used by ancient hominins suggest that early human ancestors were butchering and scavenging animals at least 2 million years ago. Before you start hunting you have to take a hunting safety course, it is to the ages 6 and older. What you do is hunting experts tell you all about the safety and tricks of hunting. After about a week of going you have to take a test, it is a fifty question quiz and you have to get a 40/50 or up to get your hunting licence. To get your licence you have to go to a store that provides it like Walmart, Bass Pro, etc... What the person does is when you pass the test you get this little ticket. You give the person the ticket and they put you in the system really. You should already know from the beginning, but you have to choose if you want to use a rifle or a bow in arrow or both. Either way you can still hunt. When you choose If you want to use a bow or rifle when you hunt you need to make sure you know how to use it properly.

What a person does is much better than what they can say , it reveals their character more. Everyone can say they can do something , but will they actually do it? Not many people will fulfill what they say they are going to do. Saying a person will do something and actually doing it are two completely different things. If you continually let people down , no one will trust you.

  • 9. Persuasive Essay On Compulsory Voting In a modernized society that highly values civil rights and equality, it is paramount for every citizen of a country to vote. Throughout history, people of minority and many others have fought for the notorious right to vote, and some even putting their lives on the line. Thus, a blessing of compulsory voting will not only give everybody an opportunity to voice how their country would like to be governed, but also presents a fair representation of what people want. One shouldn't discount compulsory voting to pose a havoc on civil rights, it grants everyone that right regardless of citizenship and class. Countries should adopt compulsory voting, as countries will govern better and citizens would be happier as their country would be controlled by how they like. Firstly, Compulsory voting not only collects a large sample of data, but also gives a fair and honest representation of ideals and values people want their country to abide by. For instance, in U.S. Presidential Elections, voter turnouts were always significantly lower than its total eligible voting adult population. Presented throughout history, this causes discrepancies and conflict amongst people. When more and more people vote, communities can get together and agree on ideals such as Same–Sex Marriage or raising the minimum wage, making a powerful, lively, and public movement to change lives. This has been apparent throughout the U.S. as Same–Sex Marriage has been granted in the U.S. through communities getting Get more content on HelpWriting.net

There are so many interesting things about them. Dolphins have been around for about 15 million years now. They're extremely intelligent, probably even more intelligent than us humans. Dolphins are becoming endangered because of humans and many don't know that. They are known as the oceans most kind animals.Dolphins have originated millions of years ago,are extremely endangered,and are becoming endangered.The most important thing to know about dolphins would probably be how they originated because without that those cute aquatic mammals wouldn't even exist. Dolphins have been around a lot longer than humans. They originated about 50 million years ago. The most common dolphin, being the bottlenose dolphin, has been around for 15 million years. Surprisingly, dolphins originated from members of the cetaceans group. Cetaceans used to be land mammals but evolved into being aquatic mammals. In From Land to Water it stated, "The transition from land to water is documented by a series of intermediate fossils from India and Pakistan." This research helps prove how they used to be land mammals but evolved to live in the ocean. Dolphins are one out of many aquatic mammals who need oxygen, but they need water in order to live. Believe it or not, dolphins are somewhat related to hippos, camels, deer, cattle, and giraffes. In From Land to Water, " Many features that are Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 12. Persuasive Essay On Success Goals, something every human being on this planet has and to reach those goals you must be successful. We set goals to fulfill our purpose in life, but to do that, you must be successful in meeting and completing those goals. "How Bad Do You Want It?" is a motivational speech that highlights the requirements of being successful. This speech is important to study because success is so vital and important for our survival as human beings, it changes the world. No matter your race, religion, culture, etc., you want to be successful and that will have a different definition for everyone, because only you can define what success means to you. "How Bad Do You Want It" encourages its audience to think differently about wanting to be successful and how to make it happen. This speech holds all the components Aristotle says a speech needs to be effective which include, persuasive, decorative, and informational, also meaning motivational, actionable, and fun (Morgan, 2016). While watching the football player perform each exercise repeatedly, I witnessed the effort and dedication he exerted through each set – this commitment resonated with me, as I am also an athlete who is expected to elicit these qualities. Not only hay, the video serves as confirmation that success is only attainable for those who want it bad enough and are willing to work for it.

  • 15. Persuasive Speech About Parenting Parenting can be funny, exciting, boring, thrilling, challenging, confusing, satisfying, uplifting, maddening, frustrating, unreasonable, exhausting, silly, and more. Because of that fact, sometimes, as a parent, you just need a break. This parenting tip is not to be taken lightly. Parenting your children will be the wildest ride you ever take. It is certainly the most demanding of jobs. And, as you probably have already noticed, it's a 24/7 position. With no paid vacations. To be the parent your kids need you to be, you've got to take some regular breaks. How many? How often? That depends upon you and your family situation. In addition, be careful about playing the comparison game. You may need more or less time off from parenting than other parents you know. How do you know if it's time to take a parenting break? If you are on the verge of burnout...you already know you need a break. Yesterday. And if you are proudly sharing stories with other parents of how long it has been since you've had a REAL break from parenting (the kind where someone else actually takes over the responsibility of parenting for a period of time...even an hour), then you need to stop and plan your next time off. I've certainly been guilty of over–extending my commitment as a parent and under–nourishing my true self. It's not something to be proud of. It's something to pay attention to. Here are some ideas for taking that well–deserved parenting break. –– A full fledged vacation. Just Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Central Idea: Bullying has been around for years, but it's time to make a difference and get rid of it. Introduction Attention Getter: How would you feel if someone was trying to put you down for your appearance or your culture or your for just being you? How would you feel if there was no one to turn to because you feel like everyone would just make fun of you? How would you like it if you were stuck in bed just wanting to stay home because everyone is just not nice to you? This is what someone goes through when it comes to bullying.

Body Everyone has either been bullied or have been the bully, but the ones who are the bully don't see what they're really doing until it's too late. For the past decade, the bullying rate has been sitting at 28%, but finally dropped to 22% just a few years ago. (U.S Department of Education, 2015) It obviously shows that something is being done about the bullying. But do you really think it's ever going to stop completely? Do you think if we really try to stop the bullying, will it actually make a difference in society? I hope so because if nothing changes in the next decade, there's no hope of anything ever being done. I'm sure there's someone here that has either been bullied or has been the bully. Do you ever look back at what you did or what was said to you? I sure do. B. As the bully, you don't see what you're doing to the person because you're dealing with things yourself. The real reason behind getting bullied is the bully himself is going through his own stuff and takes his anger out on Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. Persuasive Essay On Online Classes Most people think highly of online classes; get to work from home, get to work on a flexible schedule, and anyone can do it. Though no one has heard the cons of taking one. I personally took three semesters of online classes in high school and had a horrible experience. Because of loose scheduling, poor communication, and the focus needed, online classes are not suitable for procrastinators. To give a better understanding, I will summarize my experience with the class. Me, being a procrastinator, thought to myself: I'll just work on the weekends and if I don't finish the class by the end of the school year, I can finish within the first few weeks of summer. This was a god awful plan. Unsurprisingly, close to nothing was accomplished on the weekends. Friends would ask me to hang out every weekend, and I did every time. Why would I want to work on my class on the weekend when I could be having fun? I would later regret this decision. On the days I stayed home and could have worked on the class, I completed nothing. On these days, I would tell myself: I'll just complete what I didn't do this weekend next weekend. This rarely happened. Thus, the cycle of getting nothing accomplished started. I disregarded my class for most of the first semester of junior year. With only nine assignments out of eighty finished after the first semester of the school year, I was immensely behind. I told myself to get my act together during second semester and grind out these two semesters Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Persuasive Lying Essay Persuasive Lying Essay People often say that honesty is the best policy. You should listen to them they know what they're talking about. Lying. In the dictionary the definition of lying is an "intentionally told false statement" but the dictionary doesn't list the consequences of a lie or why said false statements were used. So, I'll have to do it. I know that no one wants to hear that they look fat or grotesque , or that the ugly sweater they gave someone for Christmas will never see anything but the inside of a closet. We as humans believe that telling a lie will avoid unnecessary conflict. Does it though? They also think lying could gain themselves attention. But would they want the attention after a while? Some people also believe ...show more content... Or to you having a boyfriend or girlfriend before they think your old enough? Each parent in the world is different but they all have some form of punishment. One other example would be lying to a teacher, someone with a position of authority in a school. A student can lie about the reason they were late to class to the old "my dog ate my homework" excuse. This kind of lying is very difficult for the person telling the lie, because it involves telling someone who is in a position of authority what he or she wants to hear. The student lying doesn't tell the truth to avoid unnecessary conflict and it is studied that always telling the truth leads to more bad than good. Another example would be those who lie to a police officer or any person related to the law. You could tell him or her you didn't murder your algebra teacher just because you hate math but you actually did or you could be selling drugs and telling them you aren't. If you do it once whose to say you won't do it again? These things are very serious as well as having serious consequences. So just tell them the truth. At the very least you'll feel better without the heavy burden of knowing that you've lied. Lying to avoid conflict will only result in an even bigger confrontation of what it could've been if you had told the truth in the first place. Another reason someone might lie is to gain attention. It can be from parents, strangers, and even your friends. Children. From the day they're born Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 19. Persuasive Short Stories As we are nearing our destination our bus driver yells out "I am going to stop at this gas station and fill up." When our bus driver came back onto the bus he exclaimed "The gas station is out of gasoline so we will stay here overnight." Then, everyone in the bus started grunting and moaning. "But guys we can make this fun if we tell stories to pass the time, Here, I will start." I said. And we began telling each other our stories. "Can we please adopt this one, Mom? Pretty please, he is so cute! With his bright green eyes and his pink little nose," said Jacob, a thirteen year old boy with red hair. "After this we will be pretty much bankrupt," said Jacob's mom, with her deep blue eyes staring into Jacob's "Please just this one thats all," said Jacob "Ok but promise me that you will take responsibility of him by taking care of him," said Jacob's mom. And they strutted to the individual behind the counter. When they got back home with their new puppy they decided to name him Spot due to a cinnamon–colored spot on his back. The next morning, when Jacob woke up he noticed that Spot's nose is not the same shade of pink. In fact, it is quite pale. "Mom we need to take spot to the vet now!" screamed Jacob wistfully. "Ok, I will get Spot while you get in the car," replied Mom. When they got to their destination, Jacob sprinted out of the car and went to the vet's office and almost immediately the vet said "Spot is going to need surgery, do you have insurance?"

  • 20. Persuasive Essay : Weighing Safety And Fun Persuasive Essay Weighing Safety and Fun Every day, children ask their parents if they can do something, buy something, or go somewhere. Many times the question is an easy no, while other times the question is a tough one to ponder. In light of the new research involving concussions, parents are now in a big dilemma if their child asks them "Can I go out for football this fall?" On one hand, we have to look at the safety of the child, as suffering a concussion can hurt the long–term health of an individual. Many injuries, including broken bones, concussions, and even the slight possibility of a spinal injury are some risks of playing football. But on the other hand, by not allowing a child to play football will limit the possibilities and benefits the child may experience while playing football. But despite the safety issues, in my opinion, if a child wants to play football, I believe parents should allow their child to play. Parents should allow their child to play football because extracurricular activities are beneficial to young students, football is a character building sport, and finally, such injuries that parents fear can be limited or even prevented. When parents decide whether their child should go out for football, the first thing that parents should remember is that extracurricular activities are very beneficial to a child's growth. According to Ron Kennedy, Athletic Director of DonegalHigh School, "This participation (in extracurricular activities) helps Get more content on HelpWriting.net
