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…

Even though it would help to extend an additional research question (e.g., if the older PIO are less likely to use social media, what are their reasons?), I would suggest you either exclude this reference or add a new research question (instead of a new hypothesis). It looks like this article would help you develop the measurement on the use…

drinking age. People want what they cannot have, especially young adults.

For example, a child might have a friend that keeps getting into trouble. He might feel bad for that other child and want to take the blame for something he did. He doesn’t have to have a reason to make such…
