I need your opinion
I need to write a speech based off of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. It needs to be about something relevant to whats happening in the world today. Violence, disease, bullying. But I need something. Something to show that I care and am politically aware of my surroundings. I was going to do it over how violent human kind is, but its been done. Then I thought sexuality! No, the teacher would flunk me, she's rather narrow minded. So I have nothing and it is for tomorrow. Any ideas?
Hmm, you know, if you're more concerned with your grade then your presentation, you should look elsewhere. If you'd rather make a point than worry about the grade, you should tackle the sexuality issue. I had a similar problem last year, when I had to do a report on Leonardo da Vinci. It turned out he was a... homosexual pedophile and got arrested for acts of sodomy and the like. I didn't include it in my report, but I made a note to my teacher and she wouldn't accept that, because she was one of those "traditional Catholics" and could be VERY narrow-minded.
It would really depend on your teacher, I guess. Now, I have a teacher who would think it would be great to bring up such points, because he's very open to such ideas. I'm not sure if that helps, but I tried!

Sexuality can offend personal believes, and your teachers views towards it may be biased. If you did that, you'd be making a powerful statement, but your grade might reflect that badly. Why don't you go look around the Specific Discussion forum? Its full of topics, and if you had any questions, you could ask in there and people would be glad to help you.

I don't think I should do sexuality, I need to pass ^_^ But thank you!
