Rock And Roll Music Persuasive Speech
Born Stephanie Lynn Nicks, Stevie, as she’s known has become famous in the world of rock n’ roll music not only as the lead singer of Fleetwood Mac, but as solo artist as well. To some there is a great deal of mystery that revolves around her, but I beg to differ. The only one would have to do is listen to her extensive catalogue of songs, that majority of them penned by her, which explains in great detail the certain stages of her life and the life of those closest to her. If her genre of music isn’t your cup of tea, then reading her lyrics which is sometimes written in prose, will take you on this never ending journey of high, and lows. On a journey that’s narrated not by one of the world’s most famous and icon rock stars, but on a journey

    Hey Xoe, please talk to your following about Standing Rock. More people need to know about what’s happening, because it’s horrible. It seems as though our native people are losing once again. Police are tormenting them on their land. I’m not sure if you know about what is happening, but I feel like it’s important to know, or to educate as many people as possible on the subject. A short summary of this situation would be that there is a an oil pipeline being put through the Standing Rock reservation in North and South Dakota. If you didn’t know oil pipelines have high rates of leaking which would cause the Native Americans living there not be able to use the natural water sources such a lake and rivers. The pipes also will most likely exploded,…

    Joan Baez-60's Project

    • 5 Pages

    Hello, I’m Joan Baez. I was born on January 9, 1941, and I am currently 72 years old. I originate as a notable folk songrwriter/artist from the “Counter Culture” Era of the 1960’s. Initially, “folk music” drew form some of the black musical traditons of the South, from the white country music of Appalachia. The folk-music tradition expanded to include the song styles - particularly the blues - of Southern blacks, and to the extents of Native American pow-pow, Mexican-American tejano, and Cajun zydeco musics. Folk music has been traditionally sung in churches, on front porches, in the fields and other workplaces, while rocking children to sleep, and at parties. The purpose of folk music has always been to express ethnic cultures, and to communicate the hopes, sorrows and convictions of ordinary people's daily lives. Although, I have helped turn the meaning of folk music into a more intimate, acoustic style, reflecting the changing times in America and the world during the 1960’s.…

    No matter how horrible our country might be at the moment, refusing to stand up for the National Anthem shows complete disrespect and dishonor to our country. Our country has been through so much in the past to fight for what we have today, people have risked their lives for you to have an even better one and for you not even acknowledge the importance of the sacrifices they made for you and everyone else, is disgraceful. New Orleans Saints quarterback, also disagreed with the fact that it’s a disrespectful to not stand up during the National Anthem, he stated, “[I]t’s an oxymoron that you’re sitting down, disrespecting that flag that has given you the freedom to speak out.” How could you put no honor towards the flag?

    Imagine that you trained all your life for that special moment of playing in your first NHL game. At the beginning of your first shift in the game suddenly another player’s stick comes up and strikes you in the eye. This incident ends your career.

    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.…
