Persuasive Essay Topics

The first topic that interests me is animal rights. Many animals such as mammals, reptiles, birds, and marine life are becoming endangered due to society. Aside from animal testing, there are many other issues that are life threatening to numerous animals around the world. Commercial development is destroying the homes of animals, causing them to wander outside their typical environment. This could then lead to death of the animal. Illegal hunting is another big issue when it comes to animal rights. The government tries to make laws to protect endangered animals, but people knowingly disobey these laws. The government must find a way to strictly enforce the laws that could put an animal's life in danger.

Another topic I found plenty of information on is the privacy of celebrities. It is in our human nature to worship celebrities. However, it can be easy for the paparazzi and even just ordinary people to go over board. There have actually been accidents leading to death due to the paparazzi. Princess Diana died in a car crash that was caused from the paparazzi chasing her vehicle. The media plays a huge part in this as well. The amount of rumors and unproven facts about celebrities is never ending. We do not know the truth about what is going on in a celebrity's life, but that doesn't stop us from judging and criticizing them based on what we hear in the media.

The last issue that interests me is high school sports injuries. It is not hard to see that high school spors are a very big part of a youth's schooling. Sports allow teens to feel as part of a team, get physical exercise, and learn important life lessons. With that, it is clear that athletes will get bruised and banged up. However, athlete's are often pushed too hard which could eventually lead to a serious injury. That single injury could affect the teen for the rest of their life. It has been proven that many high schools are not taking the proper safety precautions to protect student athletes. The schools and coaches will regret doing this when their star athlete is out for the season because of a critcial injury.
