...Quintela, Ma. Katrina G. BSIT 2A Informative Speech “Wide-spread used of prohibited drugs lead teenagers to a deteriorated future.” Good Morning. Thanks for the chance that has been given to me. The honorable Ms. Jessel Hernandez and to all the young generation that are present here. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here in front to inform you about the harmful effects of drugs on our society. Thousands of young mans have wasted their lives because of illegal drugs in our country, Philippines. They were mostly victims of a cruel environment, a broken-home family, of ignorance, of curiosity or particularly of the illegal drugs mafia. According to National Survey on Drug Use and Health it is estimated that around 4 million people in Philippines are illegal drug users – about one in every 50 Filipino. In the capital city of Manila, it is estimated that three out of ten young people are users. A study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) showed that around four percent of illegal drug users in the country are teenagers under 20 years old. Two out of ten users are involved in illegal trafficking. Some teenagers start being involved in producing and trafficking drugs between the ages of 13 and 15. Chairman of the National Institute on Drug Abuse said that the country’s illegal drug users include around 7,000 junior high school students, over 10,000 senior high school students and about 800 elementary school students. There are five commonly used drugs in the Philippines, and these...

...Samuel Mazzie “Did you know America ranks the lowest in education but the highest in drug use? It's nice to be number one, but we can fix that. All we need to do is start the war on education. If it's anywhere near as successful as our war on drugs, in no time we'll all be hooked on phonics” (Leighann Lord). Illegal drug use has become a huge danger to society and future generations. As someone who has personally dealt with drug addiction in my family, I am tired of seeing people constantly damage themselves by abusing prescription drugs. My sister has been in rehab facilities two times in the last year and still continues to abuse drugs. Easy access to prescription drugs is resulting in increasing levels of addiction; therefore, corrective action must be taken to monitor the amount of drugs doctors prescribe, rehab facilities should be restructured to allow stays longer than 30 days, and friends and family should be more aware of the warning signs of drug addiction. People need to take action to prevent illegal drug use starting in their own homes and in schools. Obtaining prescription drugs from doctors has become way too easy causing more people to become addicted. Doctors should be monitored to see the amount of addictive drugs prescribed. There are doctors who are more concerned with their personal wealth then the well being of their patient. “An arrest warrant affidavit says Houghton would prescribe medication to some patients for $100 without a medical...

...Informative Speech Johnathan Hanson Com 111 “The Yakuza” Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the yakuza, its origin and the role it plays in Japan. Central Idea: The yakuza has a very complicated origin, a structure very similar to other gangs, and participates in a lot of interesting activities. Organization: TOPICAL Introduction I. (Attention-getter) Looking to escape the nightmarish memories that haunt him day and night, a soldier in the Japanese Imperial Army tries to lose himself in saké and the seductive whispers of lovely women at the most heavenly place in the red light district of Shinjuku, Tokyo: at a hostess club called, "The Bijou." But Soto Tasami’s broken heart makes him vulnerable. He might once have been a predator on the continent where he fought for his empire, but back in Kanto he’s just more prey for a hungry beast: the yakuza. II. The yakuza is one of the largest gangs of today. With more than 100,000 thousand members, intricate tattoos and a fascinating history behind it, it is no surprise that most of the world has heard of the yakuza. III. (Credibility Statement) Ever since I can remember, Japanese culture has been a huge interest of mine. The yakuza being a huge part of Japanese society drove me to want to learn more, so I did a great deal of research about it. IV. (Preview Statement) Today, I would like to talk to you about the origin, structure and activities of the yakuza. Transition: First I would like to talk about...

...Constitutional Law Introduction Many people assume that a government acts from a vague position of strength and can enact any regulation it deems necessary or desirable. This chapter emphasizes a different perspective from which to view the law: action taken by the government must come from authority and this authority cannot be exceeded. Neither Congress nor any state may pass a law in conflict with the Constitution. The Constitution is the supreme law in this country. The Constitution is the source of federal power and to sustain the legality of a federal law or action a specific federal power must be found in the Constitution. States have inherent sovereign power—that is, the power to enact legislation that has a reasonable relationship to the welfare of the citizens of that state. The power of the federal government was delegated to it by the states while the power of the states was retained by them when the Constitution was ratified. The Constitution does not expressly give the states the power to regulate, but limits the states’ exercise of powers not delegated to the federal government. Chapter Outline I. The Constitutional Powers of Government Before the U.S. Constitution, the Articles of Confederation defined the central government. A. A Federal Form of Government The U.S. Constitution established a federal form of government, delegating certain powers to the national government. The states retain...

...PAD 525 Discussions 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & so on……. Hope this helps ! Review Texas v. Johnson. Assuming you want to sustain the conviction, make the best argument you can for how that can be reconciled with the First Amendment. Of the opinions that would have sustained the conviction, which do you find most persuasive and why? Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), was an important decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that invalidated prohibitions on desecrating the American flag enforced in 48 of the 50 states. Justice William Brennan wrote for a five-justice majority in holding that the defendant Gregory Lee Johnson's act of flag burning was protected speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Gregory Lee "Joey" Johnson, then a member of the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade, participated in a political demonstration during the 1984 Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas. The demonstrators were protesting the policies of the Reagan Administration and of certain companies based in Dallas. They marched through the streets, shouted chants, and held signs outside the offices of several companies. At one point, another demonstrator handed Johnson an American flag stolen from a flagpole outside one of the targeted buildings. When the demonstrators reached Dallas City Hall, Johnson poured kerosene on the flag and set it on fire. During the burning of the flag, demonstrators shouted such phrases as, "America, the red, white, and...

When I took a trip to Britain, I thought people would speak with a “British accent.” I didn’t realize that there are many different accents and the differences are not just pronunciation, but also vocabulary. In order to get my message across, I learned to avoid using slang words as much as I could. I didn’t realize how much American slang I use in my everyday speech! Despite the many different ways of speaking English across the UK, I felt the way that I speak English made me stick out as an American. W hen we think of “communication,” we tend to think about the verbal elements of communication: the words people choose, the accents they speak with, and the meanings they convey through language. We frequently don’t consider the ways in which verbal communication...

...BUILDING EVIDENCE-BASED ARGUMENTS DEVELOPING CORE PROFICIENCIES ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS / LITERACY UNIT GRADE 7 “Doping can be that last 2 percent.” OD LL DUCATION www.odelleducation.com OD LL DUCATION Page 1 EVIDENCE-BASED ARGUMENTATION Literacy – the integrated abilities to read texts closely, to investigate ideas and deepen understanding through research, to make and evaluate evidence-based claims, and to communicate one’s perspective in a reasoned way – is fundamental to participation in civic life. Thus, the importance of a literate citizenry was understood and expressed by Thomas Jefferson early in the life of our democratic nation. Today, students face the prospect of participating in a civic life that stretches beyond the boundaries of a single nation and has become increasingly contentious, characterized by entrenched polarization in response to complex issues. Citizens have access to a glut of information (some of which is nothing more than opinion passed off as fact) and are often bombarded by bombast rather than engaged in reasoned and civil debate. Learning the skills and habits of mind associated with argumentation – how to conceive and communicate “arguments to support claims, using valid reasoning and sufficient evidence” [CCSS W1] as well as how to “delineate and evaluate the argument[s]” and “the validity of the reasoning and relevance and sufficiency of the evidence” presented by others [CCSS R8] – is therefore...
