Mental Excercise

3 objections to each proposition:

1. Women should be drafted into the military

* Women need to be home with their children (if they have any) because if they are single then the kids will be left at home alone with no one to live with.

* I feel that if a woman is forced to serve the country and is not wanting to, the woman may not be mentally stable which might cause a state of depression

* If all women were to get drafted, then there will be too many jobs and not enough people to do them.

2. The United Nations should have its own army

* I don't think that there is enough money to fund a United Nations Army

* The UN is not even a country

* The UN might try to take over the world

3. The Euro should be used in every country of the world

* The US will not be able to print its own money since it will be printed in Europe.

* It would destroy the money market and trade

* In the bible in Revelation 13:15-18 states that when the whole world has the same currency, it is the sign of the end of time

4. Every official meeting of Congress should begin with prayer

* Not everyone prays or is even a Christian

* Church and State are supposed to be kept separate.

* Congress represents the WHOLE country, and since this WHOLE country is not a part of Christianity, they should say a prayer from every religion.

3 Topics that could develop into a persuasive argument:

1. Something in your personal life you would like to change

* I would like to gain weight. I have always been to skinny

* I'd like to manage my time better, I always feel like I'm in a rush

* I would like to manage my money better, I spend money on things that are not needed.

2. A social or political problem that needs solving

* Unemployment rate needs go down less

* I wish that all the troops would come home from war

* Someone needs to make abortion illegal

3. An area of Education you would like to see improved

* More history should be taught in classroom

* More school funding so that schools can have more afterschool
