"Should teenagers be allowed in R-rated films?"
this was an outline for a speech:
Topic: "Should teenagers be allowed in R-rated films?"
Purpose statement: The purpose of this speech is to persuade or reinforce that teenagers ages 14 and up should be allowed in R-movies without
an adult.
Capture Statement: Imagine this; you're at the movies with your friends and you're waiting in line to buy a ticket. As you approach the salesbooth
and tell the ticket holder which movie you wan tto see, he informs you that he cannot sell youna ticket because you need an
adult to see an R-rated movie, seeing as how you're only 14. Now you're a little upset because you were really looking
forward to seeing this movie that everyone has been raving about, and you definately do not want to see a movie with your
parents.
Introduction: This may have happened to a few of you, and as an alternative you are forced to buy a ticket to a PG-13 movie and sneak into the R
movie. Now I don't know about all of you, but i personally believe that teenagers ages fourteen and up should be able to see an R-film
without a parent.
I. should be able to because..
A. We are young adults, getting ready to enter the real world
1. If adults don't believe that teenagers can simply handle a movie, then how do they trust we'll make it int he real world?
B. We are mature enough to deal with situatuons portrayed in R-rated films.
II. This policy is a waste of time
A. As I mentioned earlier, most teens find a way to sneak into the R-movie they want to see.
B. Even if teens are unsuccessful at sneaking in the theatre, they'll be able to either rent it or watch it on HBO...
