The Age of Reason

three times higher than drivers of all ages! I think the driving age should be raised to twenty in order to keep roads safer and to protect thousands of drivers. My first reason for changing the driving age to twenty is because fewer deaths and accidents would occur. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 3,827 drivers in the 15-20 age bracket died in 2002. In several countries, they have done research on raising the driving age and found out that when younger…

up having the child majority of the time it is unwanted. This would just lead to excess problems, such as child abuse and an increased risk of juvenile delinquency. Being unwanted can also cause mental disorders. A study shows that children from the age of 16-21 years are six times higher of receiving public assistance and two times higher of having a learning disorder compared to a child who is loved. Not only does this affect the child, but the mother is affected as well. Mothers often feel…

identity has been formed; you know who you are; you’ve built up your resources; and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure (Brooks David). A middle aged crisis typically occurs between the ages of 45-65yrs is a transition of identity and self-confidence. The midlife crisis is considered as normative crisis on the basis of a psychoanalytic approach. Research consider normative crisis as a myth. This essay compares Dean’s, 49 years…

Thousands of drivers die every day. Many people say that the most common age group that get in wrecks with vehicles are teens. I believe that the legal driving age should not be changed to 21 because teens develop responsibilities while they drive, they also become more independent allowing them to not have to rely on their parents to drive them everywhere, not changing the legal driving age also allows teens to gain more experience and develop their driving skills so they can transition into…

A hot topic in this day and age has brought many parents to question whether or not they should let their children play tackle football. This is a sensitive subject to each family because they all share different opinions. Many families allow their children to begin playing football from a young age, whereas others feel that they should wait until their child becomes older. Being able to make this decision comes only from the parents, and the child should respect their decision no matter what…

As most would say “poverty is still a big issue that people at all ages are facing in America.” This is very true as to the whole country as well. So many people are living at or below the poverty level all around the world. Even though many families for the most part are wealthy enough to maintain a good, needed lifestyle, kids that are under the poverty level are not getting the health or education that they should because wages are too low for some to maintain a necessary lifestyle, as…

Cognitive development is the construction of thought processes, including remembering, problem solving, and decision-making, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood (healthofchildren). From the age of 2 to 11 children are constantly discovering new things about themselves and their body, whether it be walking, talking or experiencing puberty. The cognitive difference between these two are tremendous and differ at each stage of growth. For example, a two-year-old is just learning how to…

5 Reasons I Went Back to School (& Why You Should Too) Adults over the age of 25, called non-traditional students among academia, are returning to school in increasing numbers. In 2015, 8.1 million non-traditional students were actively enrolled in courses at higher learning institutions in America. To some extent, the rise in non-traditional student college and university enrollment is driven by the hasty evolution of business technology, which has left many individual feeling professionally…

Smith (2007) states that as the criminal ages their level of committing crime decreases. Research by Maruna (2006) was carried out in the UK with 411 male criminals and found that crime reduced as the criminal became older. Between the ages of 20-25 burglary is at its highest while drug and alcohol abuse is at its highest between 25-30 years of age whereas burglary begins to decline. According to Gottfredson and Hirschi people stop committing…

Recently, I read your Education-An Editorial, December 1st, 2016, and gladly agree to you opinion. I think that the dropout age of students should go up and other states should change to have a better future in jobs and anything else applying to this. I strongly agree with everything you state referring to this cause. One of the reasons why is agree lots is if the minimum age of the dropout students don't go up, then the future of jobs will downgrade significantly. Around a person every four…
