Raising the driving age would make for safer roads rather than lowering it. Raising the driving age would put more responsible drivers on the road. Teens tend to text more, and would be more likely to text and drive. "Car accidents are one of the main causes of deaths for teenagers, and rising the age limit could reduce mortality." (netivist). By experience you…

brand, but in actuality what is being sold to the public is the corruption of morals.

is no right or wrong answer on the age of responsibility. My opinion on the age of responsibility is that it should be 21. Not everyone's brain develops at the same time because we think differently we act differently and we are not all the same. We were given some rights but not all and people were have trouble on why we weren't given more rights. According to Alan Greenblatt’s article “What is the Age of Responsibility” there was some confusion about the age of responsibility because we get…

should not be able to drive at the age of sixteen. It can put their lives and other’s lives at risk. There are a lot of reasons why teens should not be able to drive at such a young age; there are many ways they could get hurt. They could get in a car crash and suffer injuries such as brain damage, or paralysis. Since their brain is not developed, this damage could be permanent.

state to drink as soon as the proclaimed age of adulthood is reached. Personally I believe that the age should be lowered because upon turning eighteen years old so many new laws and regulations apply such as the right to vote and being able to serve in the military. Increasing the age has created more cases of underage drinking and illegal sales of alcohol to minors. The legal drinking age was raised to 21 because of the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984. This stated that if a state…

sovereign countries in the world today. Of these provinces fifty nine percent have the minimum legal drinking age set at eighteen or nineteen years old. The United States of America is within the six percent of the world that has the age set at twenty-one. The primary reason for the increase of modulation in the U.S. and general belief in society is that having a higher minimum legal drinking age decreases alcohol related automobile accidents. However, there is little evidence supporting this…

the legal drinking age in the United States and whether it should be lowered or stay the same. I and several of my friends who are currently under the age of 21 want it to be dropped to 18. They feel if they are considered old enough to be able to leave home to go to college, join the military, move into their own house, and pay their own bills by the government’s standards then they should have the right to decide and control what they put into their bodies. The legal drinking age in the…

interest of the United States to lower the minimum legal drinking age has been debated for decades. Every state has the ability of establishing their individual drinking ages, and all separately have them set at 21. Within the time frame of the late 1960’s and the 1970’s, every state lowered its drinking age to 18. In July of 1982, Ronald Reagan passed the Minimum Drinking Age Act, forcing all states to maintain a minimum drinking age of 21. Each state was still allowed to set their own MLDAs,…

The Drinking Age of Eighteen In the prohibition era, the MLDA, minimum legal drinking age, was set to twenty-one voluntarily in forty states. However, between the 1960s and 1970s, some states reduced their drinking age due to the new voting age and military enlistment (“MADD”). Many of the members of the society have contemplated on the issue of reducing the current drinking age of twenty-one to eighteen. This idea has been a controversial idea for years. The participants of this society have…

Of the 190 countries, 61% have a drinking age of 18 or 19 years old (Drinking Age ProCon.Org). The United States is one of only 12 countries that has a MLDA of 21. It’s hard to think that in the land of the free, when you’re 18 years-old you can serve your country and vote, yet you can’t have a sip of alcohol. We tell teens it’s time to grow up, move out of the house, choose your career, and know exactly what you want to do with your life when you turn eighteen; but they aren’t grown up enough…
