After reading the assignment prompt, I think that I will make my argumentative speech about abolishing the death penalty or how  recent marketing tactics, especially when promoting technology, unfairly targets young people by manipulating their minds towards screen addiction. I realize that these are two very different topics, and I plan on deciding based off of my research on both and determining which will have a more straightforward argument. For the death penalty, there is a lot more concrete examples and recent protests against it as many inmates on death row have now been recognized as being unfairly punished in the past due to discrimination. Regarding marketing and technology, it is a subject that interests me more, but I have less information on, which might make the assignment more difficult for me.

For the outline of my speech, I will first introduce the topic, provide context if needed, then delve into my main argument, followed by examples and evidence to back my argument, then followed with my personal proposed solution to conclude.
