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.

  1. I agree that focusing on something that would be useful for you is probably the best option available to you. GMOs would be an interesting topic to argue. I've heard the debate on either side before somewhere. Perhaps it was during one of my says helping Solomonson with speeches. The rodeo one might also be really interesting. It would certainly be something different to write about.

    Weigh your options. All three sound like they would be plausible. Do some research and see what all is out there to help you decide what you would most like to discuss. 10/10
