    After reading the excerpt from “Dubious Conceptions: The Politics of the Teenage Pregnancy Crisis” by Kristin Luker, I found myself agreeing with multiple topics she discussed. The first point of agreement is how our society has been using scapegoats for social issues, especially teenage pregnancy, and blaming that social issue and others for creating poverty rather than viewing it as a result of poverty. This social issue started a stereotype or perceived image of a teen mother. Teen goes to college, grows up and gets married, and obtains financial stability before bearing children is the basic American image. Being a teen mom would disrupt, the woman who financially stable and have a steady career should only bear children narrative.…

    I chose two out of class essays, “A Powerful Tool: Emotional Appeal” and “Animal Testing Is Still Necessary,” to submit because these topics relate to social hotspots, so audiences will be attracted by these articles. Also, it’s easy to develop explicit claims for both of the topics. There is a lot of evidence that enhance the credibility of the articles to support the claims I assert. More importantly, the use of counter arguments in the essays shows consideration of both sides. Not just a single sided argument that may create skepticism and confusion.…

And Children of teen mothers are twice as likely to be abused and neglected as are children of older mothers” Since a teen mother might feel required to drop out of a high school in order to…
