Introduction: Your neighbors have several families living in the house with them. There are four cars in the driveway, and you never see the same people driving the same one twice. There are frequently kids from the house sent out to mow the lawn of the elderly widow down the street, often they stay and talk with her. You’ve seen some of the women bringing food to the sick on the block, and once a man helped you fix your truck. Your other neighbors are Christians. They wave at you every morning when they get the paper, and you can set your clock by their punctuality to church on Sundays. If the church started out as the first set of neighbors, what caused them to evolve into the second neighbors? Throughout its history, the Christian church has changed in response to pressures of the times and current issues and may have compromised its influence.
1. Description of the early church
a. Theology according to the Bible (New Testament)
b. The place of the early church in society using archeological evidence

Introduction
All around the world, especially in lesser-developed countries, children are recruited and kidnapped to be used in armed conflicts. The reasons are vast, from the need to fill quotas in rebel forces to children not having enough food in their own homes. Child soldiers are exploited in the worst possible ways, and made to perform tasks that are beyond the maturity level of the young adults. Children are robbed in multiple ways, of their childhood, their families, their homelands, and their peace of mind. Despite numerous organizations around the globe working every day in places such as DR Congo and Uganda to help children affected by the warfare, the reintegration process is complex and demanding for children who have experienced such traumatic events in their short lifetime. The sources of trauma are multiple and complex, and the solution and path to recovery will be a long one
What a child soldier is
o Who-what types of children
• Both boys and girls
o Where- examples of countries
• Uganda, DR Congo, Cambodia
o Why- why children are taken
• They are easier to brainwash, cheaper, etc.
What is being done
o International Criminal Court
• Specific cases
o Convention on the Rights of the child
• What countries haven’t signed it (US)
o NGO work- UNICEF, etc.
• Reintegration
Why ending the Violence is so difficult
o Regional practices
• Don’t want back dangerous children
o Not enough transparency in organizations
• Don’t trust organizations that want to help them
Conclusion
The issue of child soldiers is as deep and complex as the human mind that is torn apart by those who take the children. The situation has been being deepening over multiple generations, so even though this disturbing issue cannot be solved in a day, there is a solution to the problem of child soldiers. This is not something the children have brought upon themselves. They should not be punished for the evil ways of the world around them. With continued support from non-government organizations such as UNICEF, Amnesty International, and The Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers, as well as everyday citizens, the vicious cycle can be ended. The efforts of the organizations involved should be recognized and renewed with more efficient resources, energy, and fervor. Though the issue in itself is dismal, in the words of the “Invisible Children” Campaign “every war has an end.” With dedication of the global community, the victims can be redeemed of their atrocious past.

Introduction
A- Attention getter- throughout history women have been regarded as inferior to men. The women of the United States have a long history of suffrage in an attempt to gain equality. In the modern day women are said to have the same opportunities as any man, yet there are still many positions within the military that remain closed to all females, this includes the infantry division of the Army.
B- Road Map- These restrictions are born out of five basic arguments; women do not posses the physical strength to succeed on the front lines, the personal hygiene issues of women would interfere with living in the field, women are too valuable as the child bearer’s of society, women would not be able to deploy because of pregnancy, and women in infantry would disrupt the all male cohesiveness of a unit.
C- Thesis -. Each of these arguments, while perhaps born of genuine concern, are now sexist notions that do not have a place in modern day America.
Body
1 Main Point- Women ARE strong enough to participate in the infantry
a- Because of technology strength is not needed in the same way it once was

Topic: divorce on children
I. Introduction:
a. Attention-getter: After divorce, the stages of grief that a child experiences is nothing compared to the unresolved issues that will later develop in their young adult lives. Most of the raising issues tend to relate to serious relationships, especially ones pertaining to marriage.
b. Thesis: Divorce can be a catastrophe that effects more than just the husband and wife. A healthy or unhealthy divorce can have a serious impact on the family members involved, especially children. The emotional results of divorce affect more than one million children a year, all which lead to negatively affecting their future relationships and lifestyles.
II. Breaking the News

c. Differentiate child’s needs
d. Communication
e. Single versus Married parents
V. Good affects of Divorce

b. Staying together versus divorce
VI. Long Term Outcomes

b. Quality of life
c. Predicting them from short term responses
d. Exposed to sex and marriage earlier
e. Less Successful
VII. Future Relationships
a. Social relationships
b. Fear of failed marriage
VIII. How to help
a. Minimizing conflict
b. Living Arrangements
c. Daily Life
d. Counseling
IX. Conclusion: Divorce is not an act that parents can prevent but instead they can handle it in a better manner for the people indirectly and directly involved. Uninformed parents need to realize the emotional rollercoaster they are putting their children through and they need to take steps to understand the extent of this. The answer is for parents to be able to communicate with their child and know how to talk to them. Divorce affects children in an immediate sense but the children will be more distraught in their later lives if their parents do not handle their issues from the beginning.

Topic: Why the next car you purchase should be a hybrid.
I. Introduction
A. Opening Statement- Did you know that combined sales of hybrids such as the Toyota Prius rose nearly 54% earlier this year?
B. Hybrid cars have really changed the worldwide automobile market, and it is important for everyone to realize why these cars are such a big deal.
C. Thesis- When looking to purchase your next car, you should highly consider a hybrid because hybrids are more efficient, mainly because they consume less gas, are better for the environment, and can save money in other ways.
D.
II. Body
A. Main Point- Consumes Less gas
1. Uses both gas and electricity
2. The brakes store the energy to recharge the battery (Yamaguchi, J., 2000)
3. You get significantly better gas mileage with a hybrid
1. Most hybrids had very little mechanical problems, and all hybrids are very reliable
4. This is significant because it reduces our reliance on foreign oil
1. Reduction in worldwide war and terrorism
5. The world currently uses 83 billion gallons of oil a year, of which the US uses about 20 billion (Keller, M., 2002)
6. The car shuts off when stopped, therefore burning less gas
7. Con- In order to use less gas, the cars must be built lighter. This light material arguable makes the hybrid not as safe as other cars.
B. Main point- hybrids are better for the environment, not only because they burn less gas
1. Reduce air pollution by 90% in comparison to regular gasoline compelled vehicles (Gawel, R., 2006)
2. Air Quality and Global warming are a serious issue in today’s world
1. Clean Air Act- One of a number of pieces of legislature passed to reduce the amount of smog and air pollution to hopefully increase human health and life span
2. Less smog
3. Congress is causing the automakers to start producing cars with alternative fuels (Glover, M., 2005)
1. This is why major producers of poor-gas mileage cars like GM are being forced to produce hybrids (GM claims it is ahead in the hybrid race., 2001)
4. Upstream Emissions- the process to produce the gasoline
5. Also help with ground pollution and noise pollution
C. Main Point- Saves money in other ways than just gas consumption
1. Tax breaks
2. Depreciation rate is much better than regular cars- there is currently a very high demand for hybrids and there will continue to be
3. No more maintenance than regular cars
4. In many states you can use the HOV lanes with hybrids- time is money
5. Also, in many states people with hybrids can apply for and receive special parking permits to be used in metered or otherwise regulated parking spots
6. Con- Hybrids can be very expensive
III. Conclusion
A. In my conclusion I will restate my thesis in one way or another: When looking to purchase your next car, you should highly consider a hybrid because hybrids are more efficient, mainly because they consume less gas, are better for the environment, and can save money in other ways.
B. In today’s world everything is about efficiency. Bottom line is that hybrids are the most efficient cars on the market.
C. With the economy in the condition that it is in, and with the environment in the condition that it is in, it is more important than ever that the people step in and make a change, and purchasing a hybrid as your next automobile is a great way to make a change.
