Persuasive Essay Topics

As many know, agriculture is a topic I am very interested in. As a future career choice, it is in my best interest to learn as much as I can about it. That is why I would like to choose a topic centered around it. One idea I have is to write about the debate between non-GMO and GMO crops. I could also narrow this down to if we should include this information on labeling. I would take the position that labeling is unnecessary because GM crops are harmless.
                Another potential topic is the debate between organic and non-organic foods. I take the stand that pesticides are necessary to feed our rapidly growing world. Many farmers use a practice called Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which means they only use sprays when needed.

                Another topic, which I recently encountered, is the ethics of rodeos. I think that rodeos are extremely cruel to animals and humans. It is a violent and by far most dangerous sport.
