A couple semesters ago I did a persuasive speech on the medicinal and agricultural benefits of marijuana.  It is a great subject, and one that sparks debate (which professors usually like).

I would suggest, A good topic is INTERNET, lots of people nowadays using Internet but they dont know how Internet works and what does other acronyms stands for. Some topic will be: history of Internet(how/when/where internet started), Tricks using an Internet, how Internet works, Search Engines... etc... theres a lot of interesting topics when you talk about Internet.

You could talk about Genetically Modified Foods (GMO) and microbiology, including whether it is good to add vitamins to rice and reduce our dependence on pesticides, or what impact does it have on 3rd world countries to sell seed that doesn't reproduce itself? Pick whether you think GMO is good or whether you want to argue against it. \n\nYou could talk about whether the use of stem cells is good or bad, including whether it could help cure disease and save lives or whether it kills life because it is from blasticists.  \n\nThere are so many topics to choose.  Choose one that is controversial and then persuade why it is good or bad.  Good luck to you!

Is this for a conference or for a classroom exercise? If for a conference - it depends on: (a) how much time you have and (b) what the purpose is - but you should spend a  little bit of time introducing and giving a foundation for your topic. Then create at least 3-5 questions that you can ask the people participating that will either lead them to look at your topic from different perspectives or get them engaged in a mini debate. If this is for some paper you are still writing (like a dissertation or thesis), you may also want to ask the participants for more ideas. If this is for a classroom . . . I have no ideas! :-)

Informative Speech Topics\nIt is easiest to use a topic you are already familiar with, in which you and your audience are interested in. Using a visual aid means that is has to be a practical matter you will talk about. I have no idea what your interest and your field of study are, however, here some thoughts:\n\nExamples\n* Acupressure. You may note some points from books, or inquire with an acupuncturist, and have a model (a CO-student) to allow you to demonstrate the points. You explain, how acupressure works and how you trigger the points by pressure. What points are for what and so on. You can mention needles and the plus and minus of them. I heard that acupressure was the original form of treatment and that needles were used in ancient China so that a physician could treat several patients at once. Acupressure requires that one person stands by for the treatment!\n\n* Ice-cream. Demonstration of how to make ice-cream if you have an ice-cream maker and can prepare the ice-cream, giving out samples. You may speak about different recipes, almond milk ice-cream for those allergic to milk, using some chocolate cookies in the ice cream etc. - after all has been practiced at home! Or you may bring someone who knows and does it, while you explain.\n\n* Sewing. You may bring a portable sewing machine and demonstrate how to sew a pouch for pencils, coins etc. If you do not know how to sew, you may bring someone to demonstrate it.\n\n* Flash light. There are these new flash lights, which work with a magnet and a Tesla coil to generate free energy! No battery needed. You can talk about the mechanism and demonstrate how you shake the flash light and it gives light! Bring an ordinary flash light to compare, showing the batteries, which always tend to be emptied fast!\n\n* Sunglasses. You could make it funny and demonstrate how different sunglasses make one look in different ways: sophisticated, arrogant, handicapped, fashionable, intellectual etc. You can demonstrate the sun glasses on yourself or on a model (CO-student). You can talk about sun and dust protection, mere fashion statements and hiding behind sun glasses. Also about colored glasses and their effects. Some Arabs, I heard, do business meetings with sun glasses on, so that the others cannot see one's eyes, not to reveal any intent. For the eyes are the windows to the soul.\n\n* Dinshah Color MedicineTM. I personally would demonstrate how Dinshah Color MedicineTM is used. A self-made filter holder is taped to a regular reading lamp. Then the color filter (gel), is placed in the filter holder and the colored light shines on the bare skin of the selected area. Dinshah was a physician from India and had manifested miracles with his color system, when nothing else would help! (www.biochakra.com) Each color has certain properties the other colors do not have. Cramps are relieved by Dinshah Orange, abscesses opened by Dinshah Turquoise, sun burn is helped with Dinshah Red (yes, Red!), sun stroke with Dinshah Blue! And much more, there are 12 colors.\n\nI think you got the idea. You may modify the given examples or find your own! You may think of an action you could do in the class room, and then research the history, the uses, the pros and cons and bring a device to demonstrate the process. Use your imagination, think outside the box!\n\nMuch success and more fun!\nCordially, India.Magica

Social Studies fair project is a big topic.  I am also not sure what grade you are in...so I am not sure if this is a good answer.  How about pick a topic (women's rights, discrimination, drugs, safety, world news, current events) and do a survey.  You can print up question sheets and have your friends, family, and classmates answer them.  For your fair, you can present your findings on a poster or something.

what is the one topic you feel most strongly about? you need something you are interested in, to gain the interest of others, and you aren't going to persuade anybody if you aren't serious about it. for example, do you have a really strong opinion on the voting age? abortion laws? women in the military? stopping illegal immigrants? the age at which someone is considered an adult? trying juveniles as adults when they commit a serious crime? how about the legality of people mutilating animals...such as declawing cats...docking tails and ears of dogs because it 'looks better'...breaking and resetting show horse's tails crooked so they fall a certain way? (they do this with Tennessee Walkers and Saddlebreds)just a few ideas. hope it helps!

One thing you want to do for sure is only use the slides for emphasis of main points. If you read from it or a piece of paper you will put people to sleep. Know your material and tell the story changing the cadence of your voice and looking at your audience. You have a most interesting topic - although it sounds rather broad. What is the relationship you are looking for between the topics you have mentioned? How are you going to hook them together. Find an anecdote if you can that makes the connection. Good luck.

I'm teaching a class like this right now and I get sick of listening to political speeches, I'd like to see you argue that chocolate chip cookies are better than oatmeal rasin.  I heard a pretty good speech last year about why Seinfeld is the best sitcom ever - that was pretty interesting.  Have fun with it though, you don't have to pick something super heavy to persuade people of it, you just have to be professional.

Well it depends on what type of speech you are giving.  You could do a persuasive type speech on exercise.  When I was in speech my topics were:\nExercise\nApples or Oranges\nPeople and their masks

Something you feel strongly about. Suggestions:\n-Abortion\n-War in Iraq\n-Gay Marriage\n-Animal Testing\n-Smoking Bans\n-Death Penalty\n-Gay Rights\n-Alternative Fuel Sources\n-Legalization of Drugs, Prostitution\n\nJust be sure not to argue anything based on taste/personal preference...any teacher that is not a complete idiot will point out that taste is not arguable, so don't waste your time writing an essay about McDonald's.
