Persuasive essay topics

The first topic that interested me was hazing. Throughout the years, hazing has become a rising problem.  Hazing involves a person physcially or mentally abusing another person. To become part of a group in schools or colleges, hazing is used when deciding who to bring in the group.   Hazing may even occur at the workplace, where new employees may be taunted, harassed or forced to perform humiliating acts before they are accepted by coworkers.  There have been many laws passed in fraterinties and sororities to outlaw hazing in their school.  Hazing has resulted in the death or serious injury of students who are pressured into joining a group and who endure brutal hazing simply to gain the respect of their peers.  


Another topic I found interesting was identity theft. In the world today, identity theft has grown.  In identity theft, criminals can obtain identity data in several ways like: social security number, drivers license, credit card, and so on.  Even though the person is not buying the items, it still shows up on their credit history and they will have to live with that for the rest of their life.The Internet has vastly expanded the opportunities for identity theft. A theft can access your accounts by knowing a simple login and password or by an email scam.  In 2008, Congress passed a law called FTC which established penalities for stealing an identity. There are many ways to prevent your identity being stolen.   

Having an education is the most important thing a person can have. But for the homelesss, they are not able to have this opportunity becuase they can not afford schooling.  A homeless child tends to fall behind in school because they do not have a steady home to fall back on and are more likley to repeat grades.  Having homeless schools will let the children feel welcome and they will be able to learn more knowing that they will stay at that school.
