Comparison Speech Topics

Students often write comparison speeches regarding the cost of living in two different locations. The student chooses two locations, often very different types of locations, such as a small city in Indiana versus Los Angeles, California. If choosing this topic, research the average wages or income in the location, demographic information and different expenses. Expenses to compare include rent prices or the cost of a new home, gas prices and educational costs.

If choosing to write a comparison speech about schools, compare private school, public school and home school information. Look for similarities in the different types and find the differences. Determine achievement rates, dropout rates and average percentage of students who continue their education through to college.

If you choose to write a comparison speech on the subject of creation, investigate different common theories, research them and compare them. Two common theories often compared and debated about are creation and evolution. Research information on the different theories and determine what each is all about, each theory’s history and the scientific evidence.
