Persuasive Speech of Policy Outline

Title: Policies With Gender Equality

Topic: The policies that need to be passed to help gender equality.

Specific Purpose: To persuade people to make a stand, and try to move forward with gender equality.

Thesis Statement: Gender equality has been a big issue today and hundreds of years ago, and we need to continue to take action and take the next steps.

Introduction:
 Gender discrimination has so far been a never ending process. We solve one problem while another surfaces. Gender equality has been a big issue today and hundreds of years ago, and we need to continue to take action and take the next steps. Before anybody can come up with solutions, we need to identify the problem and when it’s all set and done, you can look back at the outcomes. You can know that you made a change, but how are we going to do that? How are we going to start?

Body:
I. The Problem
 A. Religious business owners are worried about going against their beliefs (Ford, 2019)
 B. Only 59% of American women feel respected (Brenan & Kluch, 2019)
 C. Job discrimination

  2. LGBTQ Nebraskans still face job discrimination (Brooks, 2019)

Conclusion:
 We aren’t getting anywhere sitting around waiting for a change. We need to stand up and say this is enough and make a change. Many states have started to take steps, and it’s time Nebraska does too. It’s time the United States does something. I want happiness, I want gender equality, and I want religious choices for business owners. At the end of the day, it’s your choice. What are you going to do? Sit and wait for a change or make a change.
