Ideas for issues oral?

[Andiio]

Initially, I was thinking of addressing the idea of bullying(maybe cyber-bullying) prevalent throughout society; not only in primary school/high school education, but also in regards to adults in the workplace and such.

I brought up the idea of bullying in school with my teacher but she said something about how I would have to consider the parents, schools and governments... so I'm not really sure.

I had a burst of inspiration from hearing about the issue of Casey Heynes vs Ritchard Gale though, however I'm not allowed to show the video, though I will be allowed to show pictures and such.

Any ideas whether this topic would be good or not? :\

If not, then would anyone else be keen to suggest any ideas? (I was thinking maybe urban sprawl as well?)

Thanks!

but also in regards to adults in the workplace and such.

See this. Is this going to be a popular topic though? I can imagine a lot of people doing it. Following the masses has its pros and cons I guess.

I know one of my friends in the class wants to do cyberbullying, but not sure about the rest. :\
I was just thinking I could centralise a lot on emotional appeal and such, focussing on teenage depression, suicides etc!

I'm actually presenting my oral tomorrow on Bullying
Here's what I plan on doing tomorrow
- Talking about the forms of bullying
- Why do people bully
- Disturbing facts about bullying
- How does it impact the victims
    - Brodie Panlock, I suggest you research about her, it's pretty bad :/
    - Casey Hynes
- Cyber Bullying and social networking
- Closing statement

My speech most likely isn't that strong, but these are just some points that could possibly help you

Approved, but also agree with your teacher - you're not going to get a very thorough case unless you involve all agents possible.

Alternatively, wikileaks, Libya and nuclear power are pretty topical at the moment.

Hmmm, how would I go about involving the government and schools as such? What sort of contention could I hold? :\ Have to submit a plan by this Friday haha ><!
