Speeches / Possible Debate Subject and Presentation Topic; Need advice [5]

Hi Guys,

today I got a pretty interesting task. I need to come up with an 8 minute presentation and its subject needs to divide the public opinion so that the others can debate other 8 minutes on this certain topic. In fact, the presentation should be more like a prelude to the debate... The task says that the subject was supposed to be unique, interesting and creative.

Which topic do you think would fit all these criteria? I have already come up with some ideas, but they don't seem to be very interesting... (for instance: pope, korea, or maybe I should pick just something general I do some research on it). I would be glad if you could give me some advice.

Sincerely,
some guy from the Moon

Speeches / 8 Min Presentation for a Scholarship Program- Need some advice [3]

Hi Guys,

As part of the application for a scholarship I need to come up with an 8 minute presentation and its subject needs to divide the public opinion so that the others can debate other 8 minutes on this certain topic. In fact, the presentation should be more like a prelude to the debate... The task says that the subject was supposed to be unique, interesting and creative.

Which topic do you think would fit all these criteria? So far I could think of these topics:
-Is animal testing a bad thing? (it was banned from the EU last week...)
-Is any of the economic systems better than the others? Do we need a new one?
-Global warming: real threat or just imagined?
-There are no bad children, just bad parents
-Is the world develping or is it just changing?
-Do we need space exploration?

I would be glad if you could give me some advice.

Sincerely,
some guy from the Moon
