Illustrated "in the form of a graph, the result-the so-called age-crime curve-looks like the Matterhorn" (Kolbert 6). "The Terrible Teens" by Elizabeth Kolbert argues that there is a neurological reasoning behind teens’ reckless behaviour, but no definite solutions to combat them. She uses methods of development and rhetorical devices, such as appealing to authority, figurative language,…

Deborah Yurgelun-Todd, a neuroscientist at Harvard's Brain Imaging Center also said, "The frontal lobes of the brain which are responsible for high level reasoning and decision making aren't fully mature until the early 20s." Just because teens think they are mature, does not mean they are.…

when they were sent to prison” (Steinberg, 2012). The main goal of imprisonment should be rehabilitation because children brains are not well developed until they’re 25-years of age.

One of the reason why the United State military do not let minors’ sign up for service it because they’re not mentally capable of making wise…
