Ghost Persuasive Speech
Do you have any idea how hard it is being one of the dead? I guess that once you do find out, you will not be able to tell anyone—well, at least not anyone living. Being dead sucks!
On the bright side, you do not have to give a single care in the world to things such as getting hit by a car or remembering to never take candy from strangers. You can go skydiving without a parachute or even go swimming with sharks. You can even get free admittance to the Bahamas and stay at a five-star hotel free of charge!
Unfortunately, you also have no one to talk to, and teenagers are always so determined to summon me in a stupid game they think is fun. It sucks being a ghost! At least it did . . . until the other day!
Last week, I met a kid named Tim.

    After I watched “Shut Up and Give Me Your Bone Marrow” I have realized that, Hip hop beyond beats & rhymes provides a fascinating examination of manhood, sexism, and homophobia in hip-hop culture. Director Byron Hurt, former star college quarterback, longtime hip-hop fan, and gender violence prevention educator, conceived the documentary as a loving critique of a number of disturbing trends in the world of rap music. He pays tribute to hip-hop while challenging the rap music industry to take responsibility for glamorizing destructive, deeply conservative stereotypes of manhood. Critically acclaimed for its fearless engagement with issues of race, gender violence, and the corporate exploitation of youth culture.…

    Walking upon a dead decomposing body is like spending the night in a haunted house. At first there is speculation but eventually your stomach ties in knots. In seconds the smell hits you like a ton of bricks smashing your nose, legs gradually weaken, your eyes start to water, electrical charges run down you spine, you heart pounds like a jack hammer. Lying in the position from the victim's last breath of…

    Why buy an American made vehicles you ask? I’ll tell you why because buying American made vehicles creates American made jobs. Everyone knows that American made vehicle’s make a distinctive sound. Take for instance the Ford mustang and the Chevy corvette. Who doesn’t like the sound of these vehicles or design? A few things I will discuss about American made manufactures will be the quality they put forth in designing these vehicles, the job security it helps with in America and how American manufactures have now stepped up to the plate with their new innovated designs for the auto industry.…

    Facing Mortality

    • 2565 Words
    • 11 Pages

    First I am going to give a little bit of overview about how people other than myself feel about death and what they think death really is. “The word death comes from Old English deað, which in turn comes from Proto-Germanic *dauþaz (reconstructed by etymological analysis). This comes from the Proto-Indo-European stem *dheu- meaning the 'Process, act, condition of dying'.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death) There are also said to be many different processes that actually consider someone dead. Physiological death is seen as a process not just an event. In this process there is a dividing line between life and death that depends on factors beyond the presence or absence of vital signs. Clinical death is not necessary or sufficient for a determination of legal death. Someone that has a working heart and lungs determined to be brain dead can be pronounced legally dead without clinical death occurring. The medical definition of death becomes more problematic, paradoxically, as scientific knowledge and medicine advance. There are also different signs of death or strong indications that a person is no longer alive such as cessation of breathing, cardiac arrest, pallor mortis, livor mortis, algor mortis, rigor mortis, and decomposition. Cardiac arrest is having no pulse, pallor mortis is paleness which happens in the 15-120 minutes after death, livor mortis is a settling of the blood in the lower portion of the body, algor mortis is the reduction in body…

    conscience. Medically this is impossible, but in some cases patients can tell what happened while they were “dead”. The easiest know way to see if a person is alive or dead is to shine a light into the eyes and look for a reflex. If there is no reflex then the person is dead. This “reflex” is from the brain stem; if it does not reflex then you know that the patient is dead.…

    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.…
