Persuasive Speech On Sids Awareness
Stephanie Lee
Persuasive Speech #1
COMM 101
Mr. Crook
Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to give their time or to donate to First Candle. An organization committed to bringing awareness to SIDS.
Central Idea: First Candle not only provides resources to help prevent children from passing from SIDS but also offer support to parents who are grieving the loss of a little one.
Introduction Attention:
I. You are a parent to two children, and while at work you receive a phone call from your babysitter that one of your children seems to not be breathing. You rush to the sitter’s house to see the ambulance outside the parking garage, and EMS inside trying to revive your precious son. To no avail the doctor comes out to tell you …show more content…
After doing some research on how to help cope with the loss of a child or how to help someone you know on the loss of a child, I hope to persuade you all to give a few dollars you have, or give some time by getting healthy and participating in a walk for SIDS Awareness, or even how to help your friend on the coping of losing a child.
Body
Need:
I. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Sudden Unexpected Infant Syndrome comes with not a lot of science backed behind it. Per the CDC Website it is “estimated that roughly 3,500 children under the age of one die from a Sudden Unexpected Infant Death.” The three common types of unexpected death are: Sudden Unexpected Death, Unknown Cause or Death by Suffocation of a blanket or bedding in child’s crib.
II. While SIDS death rates have dropped in recent years, 130.3 deaths per year per every 100,000 births in 1990 to 39.7 per year per every 100,000 births in 2013, the numbers of children dying from other causes or from Accidental Suffocation or Strangulation in Bed (ASSB) has remained unchanged in recent years. From 1990-2013 unknown causes was at 26.8 deaths per year and for ASSB reached their highest mortality rate at 26.8 from 1990-2013 with more of an increase from 1998-2013.
