INSTRUCTOR'S FEEDBACK BELOW
Great information in your Steps 1 and 2 for this assignment. Good details in the 10 ideas in the Brainstorm list with great ideas that you found interesting, and the three that you narrowed down to Should offensive language be removed from works of classic literature? Has technology helped to connect or isolate people: and Should people with DUI’s lose their driver’s license? These are excellent ideas Gabriel. In your Step 2, your information in the prompt questions was well written where you presented the discussion on 'what side of the argument you will take'; on what information you know about the topic; on what you believe your audience may know about the topic; and in what the experts are saying about the topic was well-written. Good write-up for all three topics. Good luck on your selection for the upcoming persuasive speech. Any one of these topics will be a great persuasive speech.
Step One
Step Two
People with more than one offense of driving under the influence should have their license revoked for up to a year. This is because driving under the influence poses a threat to the driver and other drivers on the road as well. With such a punishment, fewer and fewer people are likely to drink and drive.
Currently in Japan people caught driving while under the influence of alcohol lose their license for about 3 months or go to jail for a maximum of 3 years.
I think the audience is only familiar with the law providing for the punishment of this offense. Some might even think this punishment is too severe. They, therefore, do not know a lot and I believe this speech will bring some information to light in regards to the audience's knowledge.
Credible research on this topic is available from academic journals and experts have shown the effect of drinking and driving laws on car accidents and injuries which was analyzed by comparing the data before and after the stringent laws were enforced.
Contrary to popular belief, the Internet and mobile phones are not isolating people but enhancing their social worlds.
There has been a lot of controversy on the negative effects of social media and many people feel like the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. However, in my personal experience especially during the last two years, we have gotten around to experiencing the connectivity that technology has given us.
The audience knows a lot about the negative effects of technology and tends to think that the bad overwhelms the good and this speech will provide a different perspective on this topic.
There have been surveys that have been conducted that show that technology does not isolate people but rather connects them. This is however except for people on the extremes that are always on their gadgets and have almost completely neglected the real world.
The use of offensive language in several literary classics has hindered the works from being introduced to young readers in many classrooms. The classics like the works of Mark Twain in The Adventures of Huckle Berry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer contain words that were used in reference to the time the works were written but are no longer appropriate for current political and racial settings. Currently, certain publishers are taking steps to provide edited versions of the books.
There are already actions been taken in certain parts of the world to censor the content of classic books to allow the early introduction of the works to young readers.
I believe the audience is slightly familiar with this topic and there are mixed feelings on whether or not the literature in the books should be revised.
Experts say that it is okay to censor the classic literature works to suit the current political and racial environment and still be able to convey the message that the writer originally intended on putting across. There are numerous scholarly articles and academic journals that provide information on this topic.
