Scottish Independence Persuasive Speech
Freedom!?
Discursive Essay

Freedom, what does it really mean?, what would it mean for Scotland to gain independence from English rule?. What would happen to the UK if Scotland became “free”? Scotland has always been a country that has wanted to become “free” but has never managed to achieve complete “freedom”. How would Scotland gain independence; through protesting and voting, through a violent revolution or through the UK falling apart. When you think about Scotland gaining independence you need to think about the consequences like what would actually happen to Scotland if it became independent, would the standard of living increase or would poverty increase. There are many different arguments for and against Scottish independence.

    Imagine getting a call from your child’s school telling you your child has a fever. Like most parents you would probably give your child some Tylenol and let them sleep it off. One mother did just that. Rebecca Hendricks received that call from her daughter's school around 2:30 p.m. in December of last year. The school nurse called to report Scarlett Anne had a temperature and needed to be picked up from school. Scarlett’s mother Mrs. Hendricks then brought her 5-year-old home, gave her Tylenol, fixed her a bowel of hot soup and let her rest on the couch. Within two days, Scarlett Anne seemed to be improving. She ate cereal for breakfast, then curled up on the couch with her mother to watch cartoons. Within half an hour Scarlett Anne was asleep. While asleep her mother became concerned by her labored breathing, her mother then woke her up, dressed her in pajamas, and rushed her to the emergency room. Three and half hours later, the little girl with beautiful blue eyes was dead. The CDC estimates that up to 20% of the population gets sick from the flu each year. Of that percent indicated only 40% are regularly vaccinated against the flu. Sadly, Scarlet Anne did not receive a vaccine that could have saved her life.…

    Addressing a group of educated civil rights lawyers about the legality of women's suffrage would require a formal explanation with details and descriptions. For instance, it would explain in depth the legality and the Congress that amended the Constitution and eventually ratification in the states. Whereas, a high school audience would not understand all the legality and terms of the law and a general explanation of the women's suffrage and its effects of changing the Constitution with the addition of the nineteenth amendment. In this way, the most significant difference in explanation would be that the lawyer (educated) group would not need a detailed explanation of the women's suffrage whereas, high school students would need an explanatory…

    Emma: Well, the idea that there are 2000 incident reports of which some show, what appears to be abuse, human rights abuses, and in particular violence against children, is horrific. Amongst the many responsibilities the Australian government has, making sure that people are treated the right way, are one of those many responsibilities. Immigration and asylum seekers can be a major issue for as long as it needs to be, but the Australian government’s first priority should be making sure that those people are safe - that they are not hurt and that their rights are not violated in any form possible.…

    No matter how horrible our country might be at the moment, refusing to stand up for the National Anthem shows complete disrespect and dishonor to our country. Our country has been through so much in the past to fight for what we have today, people have risked their lives for you to have an even better one and for you not even acknowledge the importance of the sacrifices they made for you and everyone else, is disgraceful.

    Scottish Parliament

    • 2625 Words
    • 11 Pages

    The key developments which led to a Scottish Parliament and devolved powers can date back to over 300 years to 1707, where the Act Of Union was established, the Act Of Union is where Scotland and England unite to create the United Kingdom, although a major change and unity with England, Scotland still held on to things like religion and education, this was established within Scots Law, which was effectively devolved powers, but Scotland was still governed from London like all other parts of the UK. Another development which led to a Scottish parliament being established was the controversial 1979 referendum and also how the Conservative party treated the Scots throughout their time in office. The 1979 referendum was introduced by late Labour Prime Minister James Callaghan and did not pass without controversy, a year prior to the referendum an amendment was made by George Cunningham where 40% of the whole of Scotland’s total registered electorate had to say Yes in order for Scotland to be given devolved powers, an overall majority of 32.91% voted in favour but it fell short of the required 40%, this led to the resignation of Callaghan, he was replaced by Conservative Margaret Thatcher. Thatcher’s time in office, only incensed the Scots drive for a Parliament as she was seen as anti-Scottish and by introducing things like poll tax to Scotland first and the closing down of coal mines led to many thinking, why is a party that literally no-one voted for governing Scotland, this was known as the democratic deficit, the final development leading to a Scottish Parliament was the impact of Tony Blair’s naivety over a Scottish Parliament, according to (Bakan, 2002) “Blair played down devolution, comparing a Scottish parliament to an English Parish Council”, Blair has never been further from the truth as his so called election strategy backfired, he knew the working class votes were safe so he targeted Middle England and Scotland, and by promising a…
