Christmas Persuasive Speech
Christmas is one of the most known holidays around the world. It is celebrated by more than 160 countries around the world! Christmas is originally known to be the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. It started in the 4th century in Western Europe Catholic churches. Today, however, we look at Christmas at a time for family and gift-giving. Which isn’t bad but, most people have lost sight of the real celebration of the holiday. When did Christmas change into more of the idea of exchanging gifts than celebrating the birth of Jesus?
In my opinion our society today is somewhat to blame for what Christmas has become today. With all the cellphones, computers, Televisions, etc. it is hard to even remember what Christmas is without presents!

    American families derive pleasure in viewing Christmas movies, and the hyperbolized plots give children and adolescents, the most influential individuals in society, unreasonable expectations, which affect their practicality. According to the website, “Problems with Christmas Curriculum,” published by Steven A. Gelb, the standard formula used to create the plot of hundreds of holiday movies, shows the same fantasized version of Christmas, which makes one’s choice of how they would want their holiday to take place, difficult. Although several individuals would like the reality of a holiday to more closely resemble the television-version, visual settings, reasons for celebrating, and the holiday’s ending make individual unrealistically expect a more romanticized version of Christmas.…

    Almost all of America has some point on Christmas Eve or even Christmas Day sat down in front of the TV and watched A Christmas Carol on one of the local channels. It’s like a tradition at my house and probably is at many other households as well. Charles Dickens created the modern Christmas, the Christmas we all know and celebrate today. When we watch the movie or read his book, people mainly focus on the story of Christmas and how Dickens creates that image in our head. One major story we miss by just thinking about the Christmas season is what the economy and society was like during his lifetime. Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol after the British government changed the welfare system…

    The lifetime of someone can be characterized frame by frame plotted so meticulously as if their surroundings started to assimilate into inanimate objects that had the miraculous ability of gifted life through a lens. The individual parts of a select puppet or object are manipulated in one frame to be taken as a picture by any camera device, and streamlining these frames together forms a motion picture that is life-like and similar to other animation styles. Stop-motion is a term that may be unfamiliar, but if you have ever watched movies such as “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” the concept can be grasped. As a younger child, my eyes would never fail to spot a stop-motion masterpiece from the first scene of a trailer. The life-like activities…

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
