billybob2002 0 Posted June 22, 2004 Hello, I'm the guy you usually gets gangraped in the Iraq topic. Anyway, I need suggestions for a topic that can deal with World War 2 or Korea or Vietnam or any commonly known conflict. Furthermore, it should be a persuasive one. There should be a lot of information on the topic in which I can do a 5 min speech. Can YOU (forum members) help me, plz? off-topic: My informative speech on the M4A3 got me an A-.... Help a brotha out. Edit: I got to Wed. to choose one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozanzac 0 Posted June 22, 2004 The choices are huge. Name a specific part of either of those conflicts that interest you. And choose that. 5 minutes on either conflict is just enough to barely scrape the surface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhoCares 0 Posted June 22, 2004 However, a 5min 'speech' about a big conflict - you can barely scratch the surface in that time. They should give at least 15mins to give some room for personal research. In 5mins you can just take a Wikipedia entry - currently they feature an article about the White Rose on their main page - would make another good topic  btw: What kind of school is that, where you give speeches and make essays about all this military stuff? Do you happen to be a cadet at Bunker Hill?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you happen to be a cadet at Bunker Hill?!  It is a persuasive speech about any subject within a conflict. So, for example, the allied bombings of German industries was not effective during World War 2, and I would have to persuasive people it was not. I chose military stuff for my speech because I wanted to be different. The class is called SPH 101 and I need it for a BA in criminal justice. One person did a info. speech on STDs and used graphic pictures (i.e. REAL) without telling nobody ahead of time..... Keep them coming (THANKS)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akira 0 Posted June 22, 2004 A fun one could always be that the US did not need to drop the A-bomb to win WW2. Or, can take one from the forum and do one on how the Iraq War was justified.....should be fun in a university (ie liberal) setting Another one could be how the US military is not ready for the "War On Terror" type conflict.
