For my first topic I choose, “Should taxes on people making over $250,000 a year be changed?” I choose this because I felt that this would be a great topic that has been ongoing for years among the upper class society and the lower and middle class. I felt that this topic would be a challenge for me to persuade my listener to agree with me no matter what angle I decided to go with. Thesis: Taxes on individuals making over $250,000 should be increased so that the middle and lower class can pay less and relieve that burden from them, besides the upper class has a surplus of funds that they never use so it’s not the end of the world for them to pay a bit more. My second topic is “Should regulations regarding payment of college athletes be changed?” This is a very popular topic among college students and sports analysis. I choose this topics because this is truly something I believe should go into effect. College athletes are exploited for their talents, everyone says they are getting a free education, but in reality most athletes are not in school for academics, there in school in hopes of playing professional sports. Thesis, “regulations should be changed regarding payment of college athletes, due to the fact that the university is making big money off the players, the players are putting their careers in jeopardy from career ending injuries, and lastly it would give the student athletes an added incentive to stay in school longer.”

The final topic I choose to write about is “Should sex offenders laws be changed?” This topic affects anyone with family friends or children. This is a very sensitive topic that I as a father have a great deal of interest in. Sex offender laws are not strict enough for my liking. Thesis, Sex offenders laws should be changed, so that they increase visibility allowing society to easily recognize them, to protect against reoccurrence,
