Title: Drinking Age

General Purpose: To Persuade

Specific Purpose: To persuade my listeners that you should not have to be 21 yrs of age to drink, and that drinking does not affect your brain mentally, and that teenagers are not as irresponsible with drinking than people say they are.

Central Idea: By showing my listeners that the drinking age used to be lower and other countries don’t even have drinking ages. By showing statistics of how little alcohol actually affects your brain. Also by showing what adults do and how they act compared to teenagers.

Introduction

How many things can I do when I turn 18 yrs old? When you turn 18 you’re considered an adult. I can move out of my house and be out on my own, I can have my own house and car under my own name, I can own a credit card, I can buy cigarettes, I can go into a bar, I can do anything I want, I can even go to war and die for my country, but I can’t but alcohol legally. The news and the media say that teenagers are irresponsible, and that is one reason that it is illegal for them to buy alcohol. If you notice though people over 21 are just as irresponsible as teenagers, and I know that from experience. They say, mostly your parents, that every time alcohol gets into your system it eats away at your brain. If that’s true then why do they put it in medicine that is design to help, not damage your brain. Drinking can’t affect you mentally or physically unless you let it, unless you are an alcoholic. All of my friends know how much they can drink and how much they can’t.

  • Lowering the Drinking Age to 18

    2613 Words  | 6 Pages

    There has been an ongoing controversy in the United States on whether the drinking age should be lowered to eighteen like most of the world or if it should stay at twenty-one. Underage drinking has been a major controversial issue for years, yet why is it not under control? Teenagers are continuing to buy alcohol with fake identification cards, drink, get into bars, and drink illegally. As a teen I have proof that these things are going on not only in college but in high school as well. There are a lot of factors that come together to why the drinking age should be lowered to eighteen; the most obvious reason is too many people are drinking before they are twenty-one. Liquor stores, bars, and clubs all want to make money and if they can get away with selling to underage teens then they will. A study done by the Academic Search Premier agrees that, ?By now it is obvious that the law has not succeeded in preventing the under-21 group from drinking? (Michael Smith 1).

As nearly 200,000 people are having problem of getting food because of the Ebola outbreak (Ebola facts, 2014), fewer and fewer people can get clear foods to feed themselves. Sen’s (2000) view over mortality, “a good deal of mortality associated with famine results from diseases unleashed by debilitation, breakdown of sanitary arrangements, population movements, and infectious spread of disease endemic in the region.”(Sen, 2000, p.169) Person loses the capability of choosing to be nutritional and nourished under the circumstance of famine, which caused by diseases.

  • Compare And Contrast Probation And Probation

    They have the same goals as to rehabilitate offenders, but they play two different roles. Probation is an extension to the offender’s sentence, while parole is a reward given to prisoners for good behavior (Dressler 1951). Parole lessens the amount of time the individuals serves in prison. Parole has the additional function of trying to reintegrate a defendant into society. Depending on the nature of a defendant’s offense, a defendant’s conditions of probation or parole can be amended or changed. For example, if a defendant is convicted of molesting a child, a defendant may be ordered to stay away from parks and playgrounds where children frequent. The conditions of both parole and probation must somehow relate to a defendant’s rehabilitation or underlying offense. How conditions are set depend on whether a defendant is on probation or

  • Don't lower the drinking Age

    1218 Words  | 3 Pages

    Despite the problems that would arise, many people are beginning to feel that the drinking age should be lowered from twenty-one to eighteen. Studies have been made; however, no hard evidence suggesting lowering the minimum drinking age would help have surfaced. Although there are countless studies of how alcohol has many harmful effects on teenagers, there is a great deal of negative criticism about what if the drinking age is lowered. Some would say the morally right decision is to not allow teens the chance to hurt themselves. Everyone is entitled to having his or her own opinions and beliefs. However, the overall health of the youth of our country seems a little more important than some personal belief. The drinking age should not be lowered due to the fact drunk driving, juvenile delinquency, and alcohol-related medical issues related to teens will increase.

I feel like as a whole, humans are generally uncomfortable with people who have disabilities. Let’s think of it this way, people live their life every day in their normal lives and then they come across a person with a disability and suddenly their life is interrupted, like it is such a barrier in their flow of life to come across someone different from themselves.

  • Famine Prevention Essay

    704 Words  | 2 Pages

    Entitlement failures are the most common cause of famines according to Sen. Sen defines entitlement as “the commodities over which she can establish her ownership and command” (162). He says “people suffer from hunger when they cannot establish their entitlement over an adequate amount of food” (162). Sen cites three influences on entitlements that affect famines: endowment, production possibilities, and exchange conditions. Famine occurs when many people simultaneously experience declines in their entitlements that cause them to be deprived of adequate food for survival. Sen argues that it is not a lack of food supplies that leads to famines, as the Malthusian would say “too many people, too little food”, but rather the inability of a group
