Persuasive Speech Outline, with Examples

March 17, 2021 - Gini Beqiri

A persuasive speech is a speech that is given with the intention of convincing the audience to believe or do something. This could be virtually anything – voting, organ donation, recycling, and so on.

A successful persuasive speech effectively convinces the audience to your point of view, providing you come across as trustworthy and knowledgeable about the topic you’re discussing.

So, how do you start convincing a group of strangers to share your opinion? And how do you connect with them enough to earn their trust?

Topics for your persuasive speech

We’ve made a list of persuasive speech topics you could use next time you’re asked to give one. The topics are thought-provoking and things which many people have an opinion on.

When using any of our persuasive speech ideas, make sure you have a solid knowledge about the topic you’re speaking about – and make sure you discuss counter arguments too.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• All school children should wear a uniform
• Facebook is making people more socially anxious
• It should be illegal to drive over the age of 80
• Lying isn’t always wrong
• The case for organ donation

Read our full list of  75 persuasive speech topics and ideas .

Preparation: Consider your audience

As with any speech, preparation is crucial. Before you put pen to paper, think about what you want to achieve with your speech. This will help organise your thoughts as you realistically can only cover 2-4 main points before your  audience get bored .

It’s also useful to think about who your audience are at this point. If they are unlikely to know much about your topic then you’ll need to factor in context of your topic when planning the structure and length of your speech. You should also consider their:

• Cultural or religious backgrounds
• Shared concerns, attitudes and problems
• Shared interests, beliefs and hopes
• Baseline attitude – are they hostile, neutral, or open to change?

The factors above will all determine the approach you take to writing your speech. For example, if your topic is about childhood obesity, you could begin with a story about your own children or a shared concern every parent has. This would suit an audience who are more likely to be parents than young professionals who have only just left college.

Remember the 3 main approaches to persuade others

There are three main approaches used to persuade others:

The ethos approach appeals to the audience’s ethics and morals, such as what is the ‘right thing’ to do for humanity, saving the environment, etc.

Pathos persuasion is when you appeal to the audience’s emotions, such as when you  tell a story  that makes them the main character in a difficult situation.

The logos approach to giving a persuasive speech is when you appeal to the audience’s logic – ie. your speech is essentially more driven by facts and logic. The benefit of this technique is that your point of view becomes virtually indisputable because you make the audience feel that only your view is the logical one.

• Ethos, Pathos, Logos: 3 Pillars of Public Speaking and Persuasion

Ideas for your persuasive speech outline

1. structure of your persuasive speech.

The opening and closing of speech are the most important. Consider these carefully when thinking about your persuasive speech outline. A  strong opening  ensures you have the audience’s attention from the start and gives them a positive first impression of you.

You’ll want to  start with a strong opening  such as an attention grabbing statement, statistic of fact. These are usually dramatic or shocking, such as:

Sadly, in the next 18 minutes when I do our chat, four Americans that are alive will be dead from the food that they eat – Jamie Oliver

Another good way of starting a persuasive speech is to include your audience in the picture you’re trying to paint. By making them part of the story, you’re embedding an emotional connection between them and your speech.

You could do this in a more toned-down way by talking about something you know that your audience has in common with you. It’s also helpful at this point to include your credentials in a persuasive speech to gain your audience’s trust.

Obama would spend hours with his team working on the opening and closing statements of his speech.

2. Stating your argument

You should  pick between 2 and 4 themes  to discuss during your speech so that you have enough time to explain your viewpoint and convince your audience to the same way of thinking.

It’s important that each of your points transitions seamlessly into the next one so that your speech has a logical flow. Work on your  connecting sentences  between each of your themes so that your speech is easy to listen to.

Your argument should be backed up by objective research and not purely your subjective opinion. Use examples, analogies, and stories so that the audience can relate more easily to your topic, and therefore are more likely to be persuaded to your point of view.

3. Addressing counter-arguments

Any balanced theory or thought  addresses and disputes counter-arguments  made against it. By addressing these, you’ll strengthen your persuasive speech by refuting your audience’s objections and you’ll show that you are knowledgeable to other thoughts on the topic.

When describing an opposing point of view, don’t explain it in a bias way – explain it in the same way someone who holds that view would describe it. That way, you won’t irritate members of your audience who disagree with you and you’ll show that you’ve reached your point of view through reasoned judgement. Simply identify any counter-argument and pose explanations against them.

4. Closing your speech

Your closing line of your speech is your last chance to convince your audience about what you’re saying. It’s also most likely to be the sentence they remember most about your entire speech so make sure it’s a good one!

The most effective persuasive speeches end  with a  call to action . For example, if you’ve been speaking about organ donation, your call to action might be asking the audience to register as donors.

Practice answering AI questions on your speech and get  feedback on your performance .

If audience members ask you questions, make sure you listen carefully and respectfully to the full question. Don’t interject in the middle of a question or become defensive.

You should show that you have carefully considered their viewpoint and refute it in an objective way (if you have opposing opinions). Ensure you remain patient, friendly and polite at all times.

Introduction

Let’s be honest, we lead an easy life: automatic dishwashers, riding lawnmowers, T.V. remote controls, automatic garage door openers, power screwdrivers, bread machines, electric pencil sharpeners, etc., etc. etc. We live in a time-saving, energy-saving, convenient society. It’s a wonderful life. Or is it?

Tips for delivering your persuasive speech

• Practice, practice, and practice some more . Record yourself speaking and listen for any nervous habits you have such as a nervous laugh, excessive use of filler words, or speaking too quickly.
• Show confident body language . Stand with your legs hip width apart with your shoulders centrally aligned. Ground your feet to the floor and place your hands beside your body so that hand gestures come freely. Your audience won’t be convinced about your argument if you don’t sound confident in it. Find out more about  confident body language here .
• Don’t memorise your speech word-for-word  or read off a script. If you memorise your persuasive speech, you’ll sound less authentic and panic if you lose your place. Similarly, if you read off a script you won’t sound genuine and you won’t be able to connect with the audience by  making eye contact . In turn, you’ll come across as less trustworthy and knowledgeable. You could simply remember your key points instead, or learn your opening and closing sentences.
• Remember to use facial expressions when storytelling  – they make you more relatable. By sharing a personal story you’ll more likely be speaking your truth which will help you build a connection with the audience too. Facial expressions help bring your story to life and transport the audience into your situation.
• Keep your speech as concise as possible . When practicing the delivery, see if you can edit it to have the same meaning but in a more succinct way. This will keep the audience engaged.

The best persuasive speech ideas are those that spark a level of controversy. However, a public speech is not the time to express an opinion that is considered outside the norm. If in doubt, play it safe and stick to topics that divide opinions about 50-50.

Bear in mind who your audience are and plan your persuasive speech outline accordingly, with researched evidence to support your argument. It’s important to consider counter-arguments to show that you are knowledgeable about the topic as a whole and not bias towards your own line of thought.

Free Persuasive Speech on Organ Donation

Here is an example of a free persuasive speech.

Ladies and gentlemen, today I am here to share with you my views on organ donation, in the hope that you will take them on board and give someone the ultimate gift after you have left this earth – the gift of life.

Ladies and gentlemen, at this moment in the US there are 117,144 U.S patients on the lifesaving transplant waiting list. Three thousand a month are added to this total. Not a lot you may say when the population is over three hundred million, but now add twenty to thirty family and friends to each patient, and the number increases vastly.

Every day 20 people die whilst waiting for a transplant. Again you may say not a lot – but in the average mans’ lifetime the death toll is 1,980,160 – almost two million people. Ladies and gentlemen you can help. By donating your vital organs after you have passed away you can save lives.

For the more sentimental of you, of the 79,000 patients waiting for a transplant, over 10 per cent of these are children under 18 years of age.

So, how can you help? All you have to do is get in touch with your local doctor and he will tell you all you need to know. You fill out one form, and receive a card; it really is that easy. Then, once you have passed away in many years to come, your organs will be removed and will give somebody else the chance of life.

After a transplant of a vital organ, the average survival rate is over 80%. A massive increase from the 20% that would live without the surgery.

Some people worry. Will they be left open after the surgery as they are already dead, or will they still be able to have an open casket funeral? The answers to these are simple. You will be treated with the up most respect in the surgery and the same procedures apply to the body as a living body. And yes, you will be able to have an open casket funeral if you wish to.

Ladies and gentlemen – the gift of life is the most amazing gift anybody can give. How I see things, and what made me become a donor, is that after I am gone I will have no use for my organs. So why should I deprive someone else from using them.

Please consider what I have said today. Thank you.

• Speech on Organ Donation

Introduction

Organ donation is a legal process through which the healthy organs and the tissues of one person are transplanted to another person. The person who donates his or her organs is known as a donor and the person who receives the organs is known as the organ receiver. Organ donation takes place by the consent of the donor when he or she was alive or by the consent of the family members of the donors. Organ donation is a noble act that can save millions of lives and sadly many people don't know the impact it has on other people’s lives. Even after death, a donor could bring joy to the life of the receiver. 

Here we have provided a long and short speech on organ donation and along with that we have also given 10 line pointers about the organ donation speech.

Long Speech on Organ Donation

Good morning to everyone present here. Today I have been given the opportunity to give a speech on organ donation. I will try my best to make sure that everybody understands the importance of organ donation and how it could save millions of lives. 

Organ donation is a process by which a person allows his or her organ to be removed and transplanted to another person in a legal manner either with the permission of the donor while he or she is alive or by the consent of close family members. So why is organ donation so important? and why is it talked about so much?. 

Organ donation is a social act and it’s considered to be an honor. Organ donation can happen from a brain-dead owner or a living donor. A few of the common transplants include kidneys, liver, intestines, heart, bone marrow, and lungs. It is not required that the donor should be dead to donate an organ. In a few cases, the organs and the tissues can be donated by the living donors such as a part of the liver if the blood group of the donor and the recipient match. Similarly, part of the lungs, pancreas, and intestines can also be donated. 

In India, we follow an opt-in system of organ donation. You may be thinking, what is an opt-in system?. In an opt-in system, the person who is on the death bed is presumed to have given consent to be a donor before his or her death unless they had made a specific request not to donate the organs. Organ donation in India is controlled by the Human Organ Act 1994. The legal forms for the people who are willing to donate their organs are given by India’s Ministry of health and family Welfare Government website. 

Every year around 6 lakh people die in India due to the shortage or the unavailability of organs. The organ donation rate in a western country is as high as 36 million in the United States as in India it is 0.3 million which is very low. When it comes to Mumbai, it has the best organ donation rates in the country with almost 48 donations happening in the year 2019 and almost 51 donations happening in the year 2020.

Organ donation is a helpful act by the donor that can help in saving a life of a person and also could help in improving the quality of life for many individuals. Imagine if eye transplantation is done via opt-in organ donation, it could help a blind person to view this beautiful world again. The organs donated to hospitals could be used for scientific research and experiments. The donor organs are also used by medical students to learn about the anatomy of the human body. Thousands of patients wait for organ transplants as many have different organ failures such as a liver, kidney , and even heart and during those harsh times, an organ donor after his or her sad demise could become a ray of hope for the patients. 

Many people believe that a brain-dead person cannot donate any organs, that is not. By brain death, one means permanent loss of brain and brain stem functions. The only activity the body can carry after the brain death is the beating of the heart, not even breathing. As long as the heart is beating the organ transplantation procedure could be carried out. Organ donation is a systematic and legal process and is governed by the government both at the national and the state level. National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO) is a national-level organization set up under the government of India that foresees all the organ donation procedures all over the country. A nonprofit organization by the name of Zonal Transplant Coordination Centre (ZTCC) which is set up in Mumbai is working every day to promote organ donation. A brain-dead person can save up to seven lives. Lives that have been suffering for many years due to organ failures. There are many inspirational stories of people who donated their organs when they were near the death door. I request every one of you to read those stories and make a note of how donating organs after death can save the lives of people who are in need. 

To conclude this speech I want to say that death is inevitable and no one has escaped it.The greatest rulers who have lived before us have seen death and a newborn child who hasn’t experienced life has also witnessed death due to some circumstances. Organ donation is a noble act, a deed that could be done to save the lives of people even after the donor is dead. On this day, let us come forward and fulfill one more duty of ours as true Indian Citizens by pledging our organs which can save many lives after we leave this planet. The first step of willingness to donate an organ is to have a donor card. A donor card is an expression of a person’s willingness to be a donor. It is also important to make everyone aware of the importance of organ donation so please spread the word and help in saving lives. Thank you. 

Short Organ Donation Speech

Good morning to everyone present here. Today I have been given an opportunity to give a small speech on organ donation. I hope that this speech will help everyone to spread the word about the importance of organ donation and how it can save lives. 

Organ donation is a process by which a person allows his or her organ to be removed legally depending on his or her will or the consent of his family members to save the life of a person who is in need of that particular organ. 

Every year around 5 lakh people die due to organ failures in India. This could be due to accidents or the failure of specific organs. Organ transplantation can help in saving the life of people who have been fighting to survive. Organ transplantation is one of the greatest achievements that modern science has been able to accomplish. Many lives could be saved and significant deaths could be avoided if organ donation is done at the right time. 

Organ donation is a social act and it can be done by a living donor or a person who is brain dead. A few of the common organ transplantations include the Liver, intestines, kidneys, heart, and bone marrow. Organs are mostly donated after the death of the owner, however, many people are unaware of the noble act.

To conclude this speech I want to say that death is a mystery concept which many people don't understand. Death cannot be avoided and no one can run away from death. Organ donation is a noble act that could give a ray of hope to another person’s life who is suffering through many years because of the failure of a particular organ or organ. Be part of this noble act and have a donor card that shows the willingness of a person to donate an organ after his or her death. I wish you to live a happy life full of joy. A life in which you get a chance to impact many lives and when death knocks on your door I wish you are content with your life but also will make an impact through organ donation you give a chance for another person to live a happy life on this planet. Thank you for listening to everyone. 

10 Lines About the Speech on Organ Donation

Organ donation is a legal transfer of healthy organs from the donor to the receiver.it is considered to be a good deed as a person is saving the life of another. 

A person donating the organs is known as a donor and by the consent of the donor or family members, the process of organ donation takes place. 

The donation of organs can happen before the death of the person or after the death of the person.

In India, we follow an opt-in system for organ donation. In the opt-in system of organ donation, the donor has given his consent for organ donation before his death. 

Various organ transplantation takes place such as kidneys, lungs, liver, and bone marrow.

The transplantation of the kidney is the most common organ transplantation which occurs throughout the world.

Every year almost 5 lakh people die in India due to organ failure. Organ donation can help in saving the life of such people. 

Organ donation requires detailed testing of the donor’s body. The blood group and the compatibility of the donor and the receiver are also matched before the organ is transplanted. 

Organ donation provides a second chance to people who have suffered for years because of the failure of organs such as kidneys etc. 

Some people also donate their entire bodies for research and medical science. 

Different Types of Organ Donation: 

Autograft : Autograft is the process of transplanting a person's tissues from one part of his body to another part of his body. For example, skin from the legs might be removed and used to repair damaged skin on the face or other exposed areas.

Allograft : Allograft refers to the transplantation of an organ between two genetically dissimilar persons. Because of the genetic difference, the receiver will regard the donor's organ as alien and attempt to kill it. This is referred to as s rejection.

Isograft : Isograft refers to the transplantation of an organ or tissue from a donor to a genetically identical recipient. There will be no immunological reaction, which means there will be no transplant rejection.

Xenograft : Xenograft refers to the transplantation of organs or tissues from one species to another. The heart valve of a pig, for example, has been successfully transplanted into a person.

Split Transplant : A deceased donor's organ, such as the liver, can be split between two recipients, generally an adult and a youngster.

Domino Transplant : When the lungs are to be transplanted, it is easier to replace them together with the heart surgically. If the original heart of the recipient is in good condition, it can be transplanted into another person who needs one.

ABO-incompatible transplantation : The immune systems of infants and toddlers under the age of 12 months may not have fully formed. They are able to get organs from donors who are incompatible with them.

FAQs on Speech on Organ Donation

1. What is organ donation?

Giving an organ or a portion of an organ to be transplanted into another person is known as organ donation. Organ transplantation is the only way to preserve patients' lives and enhance their quality of life who are suffering from terminal organ failure. However, there is a mismatch between supply and demand for donated organs, resulting in the death of many people. Organ transplantation has steadily expanded during the last two decades, with great success in adolescents and young adults. However, the rising proportion of older transplant patients with associated morbidity poses a challenge. As a result of innovations and advancements in perioperative treatment, the outcomes of organ transplantation continue to improve.

2. Who can be an organ donor?

Anyone, regardless of age, race, or medical history, can be a potential donor. Medical specialists examine your medical history to see whether you are eligible to donate. More people can donate now than ever before thanks to recent advancements in transplantation.

Adults can also make living donations, which means they can choose to donate an organ, such as a kidney, or a portion of an organ, such as a liver, to someone who is in need.

3. Why is there a need for organ donation?

Organ donation is required since only 3000 individuals out of 1.5 lakh people in India who require a kidney obtain one, just 1 out of every 30 people receives a kidney, and 90% of those on the waiting list die without receiving a donor. Around 70% of liver transplants require a living donor, with the remaining 30% relying on cadaver (dead) donors. As a result, there is a pressing need to raise organ donation rates and provide people a second shot at life.

4. What is the situation of organ donation in India?

Organ transplantation is in high demand all across the world. India is likewise experiencing a severe organ scarcity, with little hope of finding a solution. Every year, it is estimated that 1.5 lakh people suffer from renal failure, with just 3000 receiving a transplant. Similarly, over 2 lakh individuals die each year from liver failure or cancer, and organ donors are rarely available to save them. It is the same with heart patients: there are only 15 hearts available for transplant for every 50,000 heart attack sufferers. As a result, massive programs to raise awareness about organ donation and close the gap between supply and demand are urgently needed in India.

Organ Donation Persuasive Speech

I am Stacy Mandy and I would like to talk to you today about becoming an organ donor. Many people wait for years for them to get available compatible organs. There is a growing need for organ donors. Become a donor and save a life.

By donating, you will be giving the hope of a prolonged life to a hopeless person. How would you feel if you were told by your cardiologist that you only have three months to live unless a compatible kidney becomes available soon? This is what doctors tell thousands of people every day. These people could end up waiting for months or even years for compatible organs to become available, that is if they become available. Many of these people could have a happy ending but the grim reality is that they do not and many more will not if you do not become a donor. It reaches a point you can save a person’s life and it all depends on whether or not you agree to do that. Becoming a donor is one sure way of giving another person a new lease of life.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, organs can be donated by people of all ages. You can donate your organs up to when you are seventy years old (Brezina, 2009). Your age does not make you ineligible and you do not have to be in perfect health. It is at the time of your death that your ability to donate is determined. However, that does not mean that you cannot register to become a donor upon your death. Since all of us are dying someday in the future, why not become a donor and let your organs enable somebody have a longer life?

Right now, there are more than enough people waiting on the transplant list. On average, 79 people receive no organs daily while 18 people die while still on the waiting list (Flescher, 2018). Every number in the statistics I am quoting is a person; a person waiting or a person donating. Each number represents life and the number of people waiting is far higher than the number of organs available. You can do your part in helping address this dire situation by registering to become a donor.

The number of lives that would be saved if every person dying in America donates their organs would be amazing. As of May 2009, there was an impressive percentage of the number of people still living more than five years after receiving new organs. For example 69.4% of people who received kidney transplants were still living, heart 74.9%, liver 72.8%, and lungs 55.4% (Jox, Assadi & Marckmann, 2015). According recent data, 2.5 million people died in the United States in 2007. If every one of those people had donated their organs, could you imagine how different my statistics here would be?

You definitely do not need your organs once you die. You cease to physically exist and your remains are either buried or cremated. Why not be mindful enough of humanity and allow your organs to be used by those who are still living? Somebody could do the same for your child or close family member in future after you are long gone. It is not like doctors will deform your body while extracting the organs. There are careful procedures of taking them out such that your body remains in good shape and may be viewed by your loved ones before burial or cremation. And trust me, you will forever be remembered as one of those who saved humanity.

So as you can see, becoming an organ donor is not difficult neither is it a bad idea. It enables you to donate the organs which you will no longer need and become a hero and miracle to thousands of people. It could be one of the most important decisions you ever make in your life. It is also the greatest and most powerful gift you could ever give to another human being because you are giving them the gift of life. I have given you facts and statistics regarding this necessary decision. Someday, you could be one of those people on the waiting list. I beseech you to do to others what you would like others to do for you if you unfortunately find yourself in that situation one day.
