This statement is an except from a graduation speech.

Topic:
Which type of endeavor is better, a personal pursuit or advancing the common good?

Stance:
Personal Pursuit

Argumentative Text:

Obviously everybody wants to say that they would help mankind, the world or save the city, but only a small percent of people would actually do this. I honestly would like to help mankind. I would like to save the world. However, if people did believe in the advancement of the common good rather than themselves, then all of the economical advances wouldn't be becoming visible only now. Instead these inventions for the common good would have come out as soon as the theory of global warming came out.
