I need to do a persuasive speech but has to do with a question of policy. I have all this informatio n about how the media affects young girls body image but i don't know how to put that into a question of policy. Is there a way or should i change my topic. If i have to change my topic, any ideas?
Persuasive speech topic?
I think your teacher is looking for a topic in which there is already an established policy in place. For example, a hot topic right now is the topic of teachers/faculty carrying guns on a campus to help deter school violence. Most current policies do not allow any faculty member to carry a concealed weapon even if they are licensed to carry one. You could argue for the change of the policy citing many recent school shootings, or you could argue that more damage could be done if the policy was changed....
Persuasive speech topic?
You could use your information to advocate a policy restricting negative portrayal of women in media. Though I think you might be better off advocating against any such laws and use the information you have as a sort of counterpoint that you can address in your speech. Teachers like it when you consider the other side and address it when you are trying to be persuasive.
