Pill Bottle Persuasive Speech

152 Words1 Page

I’m sure you’ve seen the ads and the promos everywhere, young beautiful women showing off there gorgeous body on a pill bottle. When someone sees the image of a slimming individual on a container of pills that promise to help you lose weight, you get excited and start to think oh my something that’s going to make me skinny. When a teenager sees the pill bottle they want to use it because they assume that it works. Children are so young and they make the pills accessible at age 18 but if their parents buy them for themselves and a child gets ahold of it, it can be detrimental. A child is so naive and doesn’t understand that the damage done by taking too many pills can be fatal. So having a young slimming woman on the front of a pill bottle can

Children, as young as two years old are being put on drugs that are stated “more addictive than cocaine”.

  • Adderall Persuasive Speech

    1209 Words  | 3 Pages

    Most people want to succeed but today nobody wants to put in the hard work hence Adderall sounds like the perfect solution except no one stops to think of the consequences or even bother to do some research on the drug they are placing in their body. Advertisements are used to manipulate the reader into thinking they need Adderall, or as if they have ADHD. This manipulation works because not many people challenge advertisers instead the consumer takes it for what it is. The consumer silences themselves by not challenging and researching the drug that is being ingested. If the claim being made by the advertisement fits their problem and it has a fix many will fall for the ruse. If a product does more good than bad and is supported by scientific

  • Fahrenheit 451: The Overuse Of Prescription Drugs In America

    1160 Words  | 3 Pages

    More than often, American’s argue that if we have the technology to gain access to these “miracle meds”, then we should take advantage of it. To receive an opposing view, the National Institute of Drug Abuse asked teens around America why they think prescription drugs are overused, and the results were shocking; 62%: “Easy to get from parent's medicine cabinets”, 51%: “They are not illegal drugs”, 49%: “Can claim to have prescription if caught”, 43%: “They are cheap”, 35%: “Safer to use than illegal drugs”, 33%: “Less shame attached to using”, 32%: “Fewer side effects than street drugs”, 25%: “Can be used as study aids”, and 21%: “Parents don't care as much if caught”. I believe the major problem here isn’t the medication, but instead the fact that our nation is extremely uninformed on the “do’s and dont’s” of prescription medication. When “the United States is 5 percent of the world’s population and consumes 75 percent of the the world's prescription drugs” (CDC), there is a problem present, no matter the reason. Clearly, many critics believe the breathtaking amount of pills we consume in America is simply for the better good, but tend to forget the effects that are soon to follow.

  • Pros And Cons Of Birth Control

    1391 Words  | 3 Pages

    One such argument is that if you give a teen this drug that lets them have sex without the consequences of being pregnant, they will have more sex as they see no reason not to. Furthermore, they might be blind sided by the realization that they now have an STI, as most forms of birth control for women have little to no protection against the infections that their partners may or may not have. It is their ignorance that will blind them as these articles have said. There is an obvious counter to this argument, in that you can teach how this protection must not be taken lightly and that they do not make you invincible. Give them the knowledge of how they will be affected, even with the protection given, and they may be smart enough to heed your warnings and accept your advice as fact. Another argument I found said, and I quote, “[how can you] think 9- and 10-year-olds that can’t see a PG-13 movie can take Plan B and read the instructions?”. 9 and 10-year-olds read the instructions. Just about everyone I know could read by the time they were that age, they could walk and talk too (sorry I just find that argument really dumb). The arguments put against teens having birth control are all really weak and don’t hold much weight compared to all the evidence that giving teens

    “What have I done?” Jason questioned as he lay in a stretcher, IV in his wrist, ambulance screaming down the highway en route to the hospital. Jason, a former performance-enhancing drug user, was supposed to live to be 50 and see his children grow up, but at 40, the effects of those harmless pills meant to keep him in the game were finally taking their toll. Performance-enhancing drugs, also known as PEDs or steroids are pills, injections, or topical treatments taken for the purpose of boosting one’s energy level, increasing muscle mass, or one's athletic or physical performance.

  • Analysis Of Silly Advertising, Trix Are For Kids

    1760 Words  | 4 Pages

    From cartoon and sports to having the toys in meals in a huge display and lowered. There are even advertisements that trick adults. They are convincing, but it can all be stopped with just simple reminders that it’s not real or it’s not good to have this in your body. These reminders can help America become less obese and more health conscious and can even affect the way children think as they grow up surrounded by them. The United States is slowly increasing its awareness of the condition that it is in by companies improving foods and people paying more attention to the nutrition’s in foods. Also many food companies have died down on television advertising for kids, but it is still found in other expressed ways. While it is okay to advertise the question of is it okay to advertise to children is still not answered. It all depends on the consumers what is right and wrong and how to approach each product. Obesity from these products can be cured by hard exercise, but this is not recommended for children. It is more efficient for children to just eat healthy as they are still growing each day. So the next time an ad pops up on the screen and that little girl or boy is focused on it try to explain to them by reading the ingredients or the nutrition label why they should not eat it often. With small steps like these children

    “When children watch television, they cannot escape food advertising. “Sugared snacks and drinks, cereal, and fast food advertisements respectively comprise approximately thirty-two percent, thirty-one percent, and nine percent of all advertisements marketed specifically to children.” (Termini, Roberto, Hostetter) Due to limited cognitive abilities, children view many food advertisements, and don’t really have the knowledge or capability to comprehend that the food being advertised is not healthy. They don’t believe that anybody would want to sell them something that harms them, so they might plead to their parents to get them that cereal with the funny talking frog on the cover, not knowing how much sugar is in the cereal, and how harmful it is to their bodies.... ...

    In the world we live in today teens and young adults constantly move from trend to trend, if one thing dies out another trend quickly takes its place. One trend that has stayed throughout history is smoking. The first cigarettes were made in 1865 by Washington Duke but didn’t become popular until 1881 that means that smoking has been around for almost 134 years! As the years passed many doctors realized how dangerous smoking was and gave cigarettes and cigars the nickname the “cancer stick”. My quote for smoking is If you would wouldn’t drink a bottle of poison them why smoke a stick of poison. Many people don’t realize that smoking doesn’t just danger their health, it dangers the health of those around them.
