Oral/Issues SAC 2010

[fossil]

Hi guys

I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for an issue to discuss in the oral sac. At the moment im looking at the aversion of brutal force by police by the imploentation of tazers. Can other people please add some others, im not sure if my one is relevant enough at the moment.

cheers

North-South Pipeline: "A White Elephant?"

huh?

Look up the cultural/linguistic meaning of a 'white elephant' and then you'll understand.

EDIT: Ok, it basically means something that costs a lot to make or maintain, but has little advantages. In Indian/Burmese culture, it was a symbol of status and a religious blessing to own (or be given) a white elephant. However, it cost a ridiculous amount of money to keep and maintain, so it was often both a blessing and a curse.

Not that I'm someone who knows a lot about Indian culture...

i was thinking about doing something about the Copenhagen summit, and how it failed to achieve anything significant for the developing nations. And how it major polluting nations (US, China) are failing to take responsibility. But i think that many ppl will do that, or something in a similar vain.

Internet Censorship, get a good grade while spreading the news of a near unheard of subject. (Be careful, if you are over passionate you may take...a long time. Last year I done my oral on the censorship and ended up going over 25 minutes. Despite taking twice the time I still got full marks (partially why my English teacher wanted me to stay in English while doing Lit).

Well Year 12 English for me was in 2009. But at my school we were made to do our Oral SAC at the end of 2008 so the issue will obviously not apply for any of you guys at this point in time. But I think this will give you an idea as to how I set out my Oral.

yea i gota do a speech writing it atm about the media or an issue in the media.

Our school is doing something along the lines of alcohol/street violence in Melbourne CBD.

yea we got to chose but it had to be about an issue in the media so we got a very broad topic.

I did a speech on "Why police should be issued with tazer guns" for Year 11 English.  I can upload it if you want.  It seems quite relevant to what you are thinking of doing.

Would also just like to add that I believe the best oral presentations (at VCE level anyway) are ones discussing mortality of some sort.  It gets the attention of the audience, and is very hard to argue against.

I remember at school this year a girl did her talk something to do with wind farms.  No one really payed attention and tbh it was the most boring 4 minutes and 28 seconds of my life.  All the ones regarding street violence and the like were all very interesting and got the best grades.

Edit:  Have to agree with ZC though, let all the guys know that soon enough they will no longer be able to access porn on their home internet connection and I am sure they will feel quite passionately about the issue of internet censorship in AUstralia.
