Informative Speech Topics?

[Anonymous]

So I need to think of an informative speech topic that is supposed to last 5 mins, and I am drawing total blanks! The topic could be anything but I don't know what I want to talk about. I love sports, movies, politics, history, etc. (A lot of things lol) So yeah it is hard for me to choose just one.

Anyone have some nice ideas that seem appealing ?

Global Warming 

Deforestation

Alternative Energy (solar, thermal, etc)

Antibiotics in the agricultural industry

Freedom of speech (burning of the flag and such)

Genocide (The Armenians, Holocaust, Darfur)

Gender Roles in the Media (magazine advertisements, commercials, movies)

Ambien; it's a sleep-aid that can be abused and used as a hallucinogen.

You force yourself to stay awake and colors start melting and sounds start distorting. You can mention how it's addicting and pretty much legalized heroine.
