In Ronald Dworkin’s Law’s Empire, the myth of the grand judge Hercules is ‘encapsulated by the metaphor of an ideal judge, Hercules is immensely wise and with full knowledge of legal sources. Acting on the premise that the law is a seamless web, Hercules is required to construct the theory that best fits and justifies the law as a whole in order to decide any particular case. Hercules, Dworkin argues, would always come to the one right answer.’(Dworkin) In contrary to the Greek demigod, the…

The age to be raised could be good for the cops if they were to pull a teen over, then they would treat them like a…

The Drinking Age Should Stay at 21 Today, I am here to talk about why the legal drinking age should stay at 21. Many people argue that since 18-year-olds can vote, join the army, and are considered adults, why can’t they order a beer?

Lowering the age would only increase these numbers and cause more problems. There is nothing worse…

Some people think that the age of responsibility is 18, because that is when you legally become an adult. Others think that the age of responsibility is 21, because that is the legal age to drink, and that’s when most people are getting their lives figured out. But is there really a set age of responsibility? And when should a person be considered responsible?
