- What is Corporate Social Responsibility and how can it benefit your organization?
- Settlements of workplace sexual harassment claims should (or should not) include a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).

- Into the fray! Why companies should (or should not) take a position on controversial social and political issues.
- The advantages and disadvantages of having a corporate social media presence.
The presentation must use one of the three organizational patterns for persuasive presentations described on page 119 of the text: the problem-solving pattern, the state-the-case-and-prove-it pattern, or the psychological-progressive pattern.
The presentation should be between 15–25 slides, excluding the title and references slide.
- Title Slide: The title slide should include the name of the topic, your name, date, and the course name.

- Discussion: In this section of the presentation, you need to make your audience aware of how the topic is relevant to their industry, company, or organization. In other words, why should they be concerned about the topic?
- Recommended Strategies and/or Solutions: In this section, you should recommend specific strategies for your audience to consider. As stated in the text, given the topic you have chosen, and the make-up of your audience, what type of evidence would you use to persuade them to accept your proposed strategies and solutions?
