pc9460 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I am stumped right now on what to write for my persuasive essay due next week. I don't want to do a controversial topic or anything political. Some ideas in my class were to eliminate tests and have regular quizzes so students stay current. Another was have teachers post notes online so students can focus on learning. I just don't have any ideas and was hoping you guys could give me some to spark up some ideas. Quote
BassThumbAddict Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Things I have written persuasive essays over. Drug testing in high school sports Flat tax rate (topic was given to me by professor) Food distribution in urban areas Education budgets Most of all pick something you feel strongly about. Quote

Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted April 7, 2014 Super User Posted April 7, 2014 Why crankbaits are the best bait ever made. Why Raider is the greatest man to ever walk the earth, and Fishing Rhino wishes he could be just like him. Why Raider is the best bass fisher to ever live. Even KVD wants to be like me. Compare and Contrast essay idea. Why Raider is more awesome than Narcissus. Best idea ever. Why persuasive essays are better than other types of essays. Professors love that kind of thinking. Quote

John Hansen Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Pick a controversial topic, I feel its generally easier to pick one side and roll with it. One big one I did my freshman year of college was write about why commercial fishing with sein nets and long line rigs, and other types are bad for the environment. Not that I fully believed that but because it was easy to finds lots of information about it. I wrote about bycatch, damaged nets cause to underwater structure like reefs, and sorts of stuff like that. Spend a little time on a controversial topic and you can find both sides of the argument and lots of information supporting both. Other topic ideas: Wolves? Pebble Mine in Alaska? Why the drinking age shoulld be less/more? Quote
daiwaguy Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Why everyone should switch to using Daiwa products. LOL. I am just messing around. I would choose something that you are truly interested in so that it is easy to write about. What types of things do you like? Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted April 7, 2014 Super User Posted April 7, 2014 I'm all for drug testing for everyone. As people go about their daily lives they become set in their ways, for the most part. Take me for example. There might be some mind/mood altering drugs that I'm currently running a consumption deficit in. A drug test would catch that and my drug consumption would improve. Back when I was in college, I firmly believed that if everyone smoked 3 or 4 joints a day, there wouldn't be any more wars. Just for sport, try selling that idea to the prof. 1 Quote
Super User Ratherbfishing Posted April 8, 2014 Super User Posted April 8, 2014 It's not a very exciting topic (until you actually begin paying property taxes-and then you'll understand) but here's one: Why property tax assessment is unfair, should be banned, and why city taxes should be based solely on cost of services, infrastructure, salaries, etc. Quote
Super User Root beer Posted April 8, 2014 Super User Posted April 8, 2014 Current issue topic: should marijuana be legal or remain status quo with federal government? Or is this too controversial? You didn't mention what class this is for? Quote

Super User Sam Posted April 12, 2014 Super User Posted April 12, 2014 Why you should wear pink with a bow tie to a NASCAR race or professional wrestling event. Why a flat tax is good for America. Why catch and release hurts the bass population. Why all college coeds need to live with college guys their junior and senior years. Quote

Brian6428 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 I wrote a paper on banning pesticide use a month or two ago. A little dull but it was easy to argue and I found a lot of info on it. Quote
