Hello, Myself (Rebuttal) and my partner Robby Anselmo (Constructive) firmly agree that lowering the voting age is not a euphoric choice. We are on the negative side of our resolution resolved: the voting age in America should be lowered to age 14, and we believe that children that are age 14 should not be able to vote because they are irresponsible, childish, and can be reeled in easily. The value of my altercation is utilitarianism, and utilitarianism is the choice that is right for the…

The human brain is a complex and ever changing machine. From the moment we are born, until we die, the human brain is adapting to the many obstacles we encounter everyday. The adult brain is more prone to those obstacles than the teenage brain is. The teen brain functions differently than the adult brain because it is not fully developed and it is exposed to environmental factors. During the teenage years, the brain is in a significant and crucial time of development. Furthermore, current…

to future development. Erikson labels adolescence in his fifth stage as identity vs. role confusion. Puberty is a period of great change and adolescence in Erikson’s stages often wonder who they are (Tate & Parker, 2007). It is a period that many adults remember as many key factors that occur impact social, emotional, and physical development. A key development factor of adolescence is the experience…

Evolution & Behavior May 25 2017 Block: 2 Why is the teen brain drawn to take risks? How are teen brains different from adult brains? Well what I know is different is that a teens brain isn’t fully developed like an adult’s brain. We may not comprehend things as fast as adults would. There’s a surge of activity in the brain region called the ventral striatum when reality exceeds a person’s expectations. It is a proven fact that the adolescent…

‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ is an American coming-of-age, comedy- drama film. As advocated from the metaphorical title it promotes the message of being unique in a positive approach by reflecting on the issue of not changing your personality to fit in. A wallflower is acknowledged to sit on the wall alone, although it has its own individual beauty, it appears incongruous. This relates to the main character Charlie, a socially awkward outcast teen whom lived life from the sidelines, until…

rather a difference between the maturity of the teen and adult brain. This difference is what has shaped the stereotype of the typical teenager as impulsive, spontaneous, and dramatic. Teenagers as a whole are infamous for their rashness and overall wild nature. They are depicted in movies and books as creatures separate from the human race, with a mind of their own. However, it is now…

actually a form of synaptic plasticity, so when the brain gets the ‘reward’ a drug temporarily provides, the brain starts to build a stronger synapse. And because teenagers are still so impressionable, drugs can become more addictive than they are to adults, and it can be harder to shake this habit later in life. Although heightened emotions and lack of impulse control are normal for this age group, it is still important to be on the lookout for mental illnesses. Schizophrenia, bipolar, and…

Since getting my license at age 16, I have been able to dive to work. Driving allows teens to do a lot more in terms of responsibility. The driving age should remain at the age of 16 because it allows the teen to set a job, not worry about catching a bus, and teaches them responsibitity. It is important for a teen to have a job at the age of 16. Teens do not have to rely on their parents for everything such as buying gas and jast food a person does not have to rely on a parent to get to…

Teenagers are growing adults who are learning the values of responsibilities everyday. I disagree with the city council and believe that there should not be a curfew that would make it illegal for teenagers to be out after 10 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on the weekends. First, many teens already have so many restrictions, so why should they endure another one? Adding another limit to their life will only make teens stressed. This matter should be dealt with parents and the teenagers themselves…

Curfews does having one really lead to keeping teenagers out of trouble? Many would say yes parents giving there kids a curfew will keep them safe they will be at home. If the parents fall asleep what is stopping them from sneaking out absolutely nothing. But it is not the parents it's a law and they can't sneak out where would they go all the stores will know of the law. In Montgomery, Alabama they have this rule expect teens can be out past it if they are with a parent are guardian. Some…
