Persuasive Speech Topic?

Can you help me decide on a persuasive speech topic?

• I have to choose a persuasive speech topic by tomorrow. I have a few wich include: Blood Diamonds animal abuse volunteering changing views of "beauty" child beauty pageants organ donation and recycling I want to choose a really good topic because my university is doing a competition and at the end the best speech wins 300 dollars. The age range in my class is from about 18- 22. I feel like some of the above are overdone. Please let me know which ideas you would like to hear about if you were in a speech class or if you have any others PLEASE leave them in a comment. Thank You!

  Blood Diamonds: http://www.un.org/peace/africa/Diamond.html http://www.amnestyusa.org/our-work/issues/business-and-human-rights/oil-gas-and-mining-industries/conflict-diamonds http://www.stopblooddiamonds.org/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/20/behind-blood-diamonds_n_1366593.html Women need to know this because most of them will receive an engagement ring. And the men need to know this because they'll be buying those rings.
