Need a topic for informative speech

[qualityclrk1]

well i e-mailed the guy my topic- because he still has to necessarily "approve" of the topic (not going to offend anyone).....anyway we have another speech later in the semester that'll be more persuasive than informative, he feels like my speech may be more persuasive and i should save the steroids topic for the next speech- and try and get people to open their eyes on the situation really going on there....heres the e-mail he sent me:

What I am saying is that you sound like you are arguing a point and
that is not to be done for the informative... You have to wait and do
that for persuasive...

Now you can inform us about it if you feel you WON'T TRY AND PERSUADE...

i guess i could get up there and explain what anabolic-androgenic steroids are but that'd just be pointless and stupid- most of the class wouldn't care.....i read the rick collins testimony and it is perfect for quoting so i'm going to hold onto this topic and probably use it next time...because well, i do have to agree that by using that i'd try and persuade more than just inform.....anyone know of a crisis thats goin unnoticed to the general public- that if they found out about it, it'd shock them.....maybe like the child soldiers in africa or something lol i'm getting less exciting about giving this speech because i feel like i'm limited now

Well...for a biology class, I gave a powerpoint presentation on Anabolic/Androgenic steroids, explaining how they work in the body, what they are, and their risks/side effects. It was an analysis of research from the New England Journal of Medicine. I got an A+ on the presentation and a letter of recommendation from the professor because he was extremely impressed. I know for a fact I still have that saved on one of my laptops, I'll just have to dig it up..

yeh that'd be fantastic, the only thing is this is just a standard oral communications class. Most of the people in my class aren't even going into a health related field such as ourselves- mostly its criminal justice or liberal arts students (criminal justice = the perfect audience to persuade both sides of the steroid issue to)....so i think i'll just explain to people what the Naegleria fowleri ameba (i'd explain what an ameba was etc.) I could shock some people at how real this actually is and the damage that it can inflict on a human . I bet it'd shock the audience and entertain them all at once. Naegleria fowleri is an ameba that is found anywhere in the world, but only in certain environments (not well kept swimming pools, lakes, ponds). It goes through the nose and enters the spinal and cranial cavities- and then begins to eat at the brain tissue......sooo....its a brain eating once celled organism lol
i'll without a doubt use the steroid issue for my next speech, and i'll bump this thread about that time and post highlights from my outline...Thanks for the help thus far, its really been productive....
