Genocide Persuasive Speech

Improved Essays
The World has had an issue with genocide since the early 90’s so if it is such a big issue why haven’t we stopped it yet. By the year 2017 the world has sent a man to the moon and cured difficult diseases but why can’t we solve the issue of something as deadly as genocide. I believe that if world leaders would step up and identify the conflict of genocide, use rapid intervention when a problem that follows the steps of genocide occurs, and if we could make genocide illegal through international law the world wouldn’t have such a big issue with genocide.

Although I do not believe we can one day solve genocide completely I do believe we can solve most of the problems by identifying the conflict. It’s hard for outside countries like the U.S.A,EU,and

    Today I was told by a source close to the University of Texas that Notre Dame quarterback Transfer Malik Zaire is no longer considering Florida. Originally I had thought Malik Zaire was postponing to wait for the SEC to possibly change a rule that would allow Zaire to transfer to Florida and play right away. It now appears that Malik Zaire is looking to graduate and then he will announce where he will go. - Zaire Top Schools - Texas Longhorns Wisconsin Badgers Technically the University of Florida still has an opportunity to land Malik Zaire, either way Florida will be fine at the quarterback…

    Dzungar, Circassian, Armenians, Holodomor, Jewish, Cambodians, Rwandan and Darfur. All too many genocides. When will it stop? When will we learn? When will we stop forgetting about the past and when will the history books end the patterns of genocide?…

    "First you lose yourself, then you lose your dreams." Sometimes, the world worries about problems only as they arise: procrastination of the fight for world peace. By the time things happen; though, it is almost always too late to fix it. One of these problems is genocide. People can take "preventative measures" all they want, but until humanity begins paying attention to little things that happen, no problem can be solved.…

    The heartbreaking events that have happened through history such as the Rape of Nanjing has shaped today's minds to just “deal with it,” “that is what has always happened” when it comes to serious matters. It should not have to be that way. Taking what happened to all of the women and children, shouldn't be just blown over. The people of today need to take action and not let what once happened, happen again. Both genocides consisted of murder, torture, and rape, Some more well know for a certain one…

    At least 20.9 million people will fall victim to being bought and sold for sexual exploitation (equailtynow.org). More needs to be done for those 20.9 million innocent people who have had their whole life ripped away from them. “Sex trafficking happens in every state, in every community, in every jurisdiction. It’s big business and it’s one of the worst crimes imaginable (aradillas).”…

    Elie Wiesel once stated,” For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.” The Holocaust started in 1932 and ended in 1945.The Nazis did not like the Jewish citizens, and blamed them for everything. The most common reason was religious beliefs. In the beginning, there was not that much violence, but then the Jews started to lose many privileges. Such as, losing the right to own a business, stay out late, own their homes, and eat any animal products.…

    Dehumanization Human beings love to search for the meaning behind everything because once meaning is found, then justification and rationalization can be given. Genocide is a very complex term, but the act of genocide itself is unfathomable. People always want a reason for why presidents or dictators allow genocide to happen, and the only option that can make everything clear is that human evil must have developed. Although human evil provides an explanation, there is something true about human evil.…

    The dead tell better stories then the living. For instance, if anyone had survived from inside the WTC, perhaps everyone would know that it wasn’t a controlled demolition. Perhaps then, in september of every year, the victims families wouldn’t have to endure the constant disrespect of their loved ones deaths by tin foil wearing conspiracy theorists. The shooting of john Lennon and Ronald Regan were not part of any mass shootings. And yes, I’m sure Jodie Foster wished Hinkleys motives never came out.…

    The Ottoman Genocide

    Genocide was not defined as a punishable crime by the United Nations until 1942. Describing the heinous act as an “odious scourge,” the UN cites a dark history of considerable loss of human life in result of hatred, “with intent to destroy” one particular group of people (UN No. 1021). Clear specifications for the punishment of the crime did not yet exist in the era of the Armenian Ottoman genocide in 1915. Once one of the largest empires the world has ever seen, the Ottoman Empire expanded to include nearly the entire Mediterranean coast east of Bosnia, including massive portions of the Middle East to the Horn of Africa.…

    After reviewing my persuasive speech over why the University of Oklahoma is the best university in the nation, I would sum up my speech as a little bit of train wreck. Although I made good claims with factual evidence, the amount of stuttering I did, and all the times I was choked up throughout the speech drew my audience’s attention away. From this, I lost my audience’s belief that I was competent of the information I was reiterating to them. At the introduction of my speech I believe I started out fairly strong and gave a good run down of the coming speech.…

    Rohingya Muslims are a minority in Burma and they are being persecuted and killed by extremists Buddhists. This is the most horrify human ethnic cleansing in past 20 years. But this genocide have not received much attention or help from the rest of the world as it should be. They do not have privileges or the power to speak up rather than staring at the rest of the world for help. I know the crisis is revolved around politics, so as society we chose to ignore it.…

    In the United States the constitution gives us certain rights, rights given to a someone by being a person. However, what if because of your age, you were stripped of those rights, stripped of the right to live? What if someone that barely knows you could tear you to shreds. If someone elses mistakes decided the fate of your life, and how would you react if these blinded crimes were all allowed by your government? Personhood, the legal state of being a person, is granted to people the day they are born until the day they die.…
