For my persuasive essay, I chose to focus my attention on the affects the recession has been having on the holiday season. Our country has been struggling with our economic stability for the past two years, and unemployment rates have skyrocketed.
So many people have been struggling to make ends meet- it makes me wonder what they'll do for the holidays? And what about the people who are blessed enough to not feel the burn of the economy. Everyone can afford to help out during this holiday season.
In my essay I elaborate on the spirit of Christmas- that it's all really about helping one another, peace, love, and joy for all. It's not about the gifts. It's about how humans should be there for one another.
I go into further explanations about how easy it is to give this season- through charities and organizations needing volunteers, of both time and money.
And for the people who can afford it- to spend less time on themselves with usually useless gifts, and give more to people who really need it this season. After all, it is "better to give than to receive"

The second idea is better for this paper, but only if your ethos can be a strong part of the argument. Are you willing to tell your mother or father that you do not want that big present you have been thinking about--if you have been thinking about one.
