For speech #2 my topic is going to be on the the use of plastic. It used to be that people just threw their garbage on the ground and not worried about it. Until plastic made it's way to the oceans where it cannot biodegrade.  Animals, most prominently turtles, have been strangled by the plastic tossed into the polluted oceans and has become a rising issue. My main focus is to address the problem of spilling plastic and other trash that doesn't biodegrade into the ocean that has been killing numerous animals. Then, I will state a possible solution to the issue as well as how to take action towards the issue. This situation effects most people because pollutants come of the plastic into the water, which fish consume, then we consume. Also, many animals are dying out from being choked by plastic or ingesting the pollutants. If this issue isn't put to a halt, it will grow until the ecosystem is ruined. https://lifelabs.psychologies.co.uk/users/79824-haulwen-nicholas/post...

A couple of questions I had about the speech are: Is this a persuasive speech?   Does the topic need to be specific?

On one hand, those in favor of paying the players argue, the money will help support them financially, as well as encourage them to keep playing. Then on the other hand, those who oppose paying college athletes state, they will be financially irresponsible and that they’re given enough through scholarship. Both parties produce strong arguments leading to a very heated, controversial topic. Many of the college athletes come from urban, low-class that have little to no support. Getting paid would allow college athletes to send money back home to help provide for their families (Lemmons, 2017).   Shabazz Napier stated in 2014, “we do have hungry nights that we don’t have enough money to get food in. Sometimes money is needed.” Napier believes that it shouldn’t be stretched out to hundreds of thous...
