How Should I Start Off My Informative Speech

Informative speech on DUI? How to start it?

You could start off with statistics such as how many people die each year from drunk driving, what age groups are the most at risk, what age group is increasing with DUI's. More people get killed by drunk drivers in auto accidents than people who fly in airplanes or take trains on a yearly basis.You could talk about how alcohol impairs your judgment with the how much a person drinks and say it is not the same with everyone but there are some common statistics (look these up, for example hard liquor vs. beer, the liquor will make people drunk faster) You could talk about a common factor in drunk driving deaths is that not the person behind the wheel drunk gets killed, it's usually the passengers or the other people in the car they hit. You could talk about what time of day that drunk drivers are most frequent on the roads. You could talk about how drunk driving goes up significantly during football season and after sporting events, especially in high school and college. You could talk about what the legal limit is for it to be considered drunk driving depending on which state you live in (some states have zero tolerance, so even if you're not legally impaired you're considered to be). Ask questions like, Have DUI's increased or decreased within the past 10 years? Are there more programs available like sober drivers for college kids when they have parties? What colleges advocate these types of programs? Prevention, you could mention MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) when it was formed? Why it was formed? How long it has been in existence? What are the new programs for prevention involving drunk driving? Advertising methods (i.e. scare tactics (showing crushed cars at schools) dramatic commercials, internet, magazines etc)

Thank you.”You want a good hook at the end, but be sure to run it by the schmaltz police before you deliver the speech. Good luck.

Helps on a informative speech on the death penalty?

Jessie, you've chosen the more difficult side of this topic. The other side of the "eye for an eye" argument is that Jesus HIMSELF was against the death penalty (see Matthew 5:7 & 5:38-39, James 4:12, Romans 12:17-21, John 8:7, and James 1:20).

It is true that some victims' families are pro-capital punishment, but there are also many that are against it (see websites below). Painting with a broad brush here is a losing tactic.

The arguments against capital punishment are much more compelling (and plentiful):

- Mistakes happen. Since 1973 in the U.S., 138 people have been released from death row because they were exonerated by DNA and other new evidence (DNA is not available in most homicide cases). These are ALL people who were found guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt." A life sentence is reversible. An execution is not.

- Cost - because of the legal apparatus designed to minimize wrongful executions (and the enormous expense of death row incarceration), it costs taxpayers MUCH more to execute someone than to imprison them for life.

- It is not a deterrent - violent crime rates are consistently HIGHER in death penalty jurisdictions.

- It is inconsistently and arbitrarily applied.

- Because the U.S. is one of the last remaining nations with capital punishment, many other countries refuse to extradite known criminals who should be standing trial here.

- It fosters a culture of violence by asserting that killing is an acceptable solution to a problem.

- Life without parole (LWOP) is on the books in most states now (all except Alaska), and it means what it says. People who get this sentence are taken off the streets. For good.

- As Voltaire once wrote, "let the punishments of criminals be useful. A hanged man is good for nothing; a man condemned to public works still serves the country, and is a living lesson."

- Whether you’re a hardened criminal or a government representing the people, killing another human being is wrong. Period. “He did it first” is not a valid excuse.

The last website below has tons of info that may be able to help you in your research. I hope that helps - good luck on your speech!
