Eighteen-year-olds can run for public office, vote, serve in the military and get married. So, the lower-drinking-age question has to be considered in the context of all those other decisions," Jordan said. "My concern and that of many of the other presidents who signed the initiative is that we aren't doing our students a favor by avoiding this. Saying that keeping the minimum age at 21 is reducing highway deaths is ignoring the bigger problem." Dr. George
Lynne Quarry HM210 week 9 video response 03/04/2015 Sicko This video starts out showing and talking about people who don't have insurance. How they stich themselves up or deciding which finger they wan't sewn back on. Then it says" but this isn't about those people, it's about people with health insurance." Which in my opinion there was nothing said in it that would make it a comedy. Talking about the 18,000 people who die a year because they don't have health insurance and the ones that do go broke, loose their houses and even go bankrupt because of health insurance co-pays.
The 18th amendment contributed to the rise of organized crime because it created a lot of underground business. From killings to people living in poverty, that’s what the prohibition caused. If people really thought that prohibiting alcohol to be sold leally were going to help the way that people lived during this time, they were wrong. A lot of people were against the law, they argued that if they banned alcohol legal businesses were going to go broke and that was not going to help the economy get better. But alcohol was not the only thing breaking families apart they said, after the war, soldiers would come home and find themselves in a whole, struggling to find jobs.
One of the main arguments for the lowering of the legal drinking age from 21 to 18 is that “If youth are allowed to make other choices, such as voting, going to war, or getting married, then they should be given the choice to consume alcohol to, even if it hurts them” (SpeakUp! Prevention Coalition, 2012). This is the most common argument that I've heard when it comes to this topic. This also seems to be the best argument because if a person is old enough to die for their country or vote for any type of public office, why shouldn't they be able to drink alcohol at the same age? Another common argument used in support of lowering the legal drinking age is that young people still do it, even though it's illegal.
European countries have a lower legal drinking and appear to have lesser alcohol related problems. Trying to enforce the drinking age of 21 is ineffective and pricey. Even though the law says one has to be 21, teen drinking is a major problem and there will never be a way to stop it. It would be more effective to spend money on educating the youth about how to drink responsibly rather than attempt to enforce the drinking age of 21 and continuously waste money and effort.” For 21 years, the legal drinking age has been set at 21 years. This has been an issue topic for quite some time now, and more states are considering revising the law.
Daniel felt guilt and remorse while he was in jail and It was just a mistake that couldn’t be undone. A longer sentence wouldn’t bring back the lives of the dead. Longer jail sentence wouldn’t have achieved justice. The town of Mumbilli had lost the two loved teenagers while one was in serious condition. The Brennan’s were a well-respected family in the town but the action of Daniel left the feeling of hatred for the family.” The town of Mumbilli was bleeding.” The town was extremely affected by the accident.
My first report will be on the failure to protect Baby P. He suffered horrific abuse, yet the same social work department that was criticised in the Victoria Climbie case never took him into care despite a number of warning signals and injuries. The failure to protect Baby P was because of poor practice by health professionals, social workers, police and lawyers rather than systematic breakdown, a serious case review found. Professionals in the London borough of Haringey saw the boy 60 times before his death, caused by his mother and stepfather, and the inquiry found agencies communicated with each other and procedures were largely followed. However, there was a poor flow of information in some areas. Despite being on the child protection
The drug addicts lose all respect for themselves and these addictions end up taking over their lives. Maybe the addicts are right when they say the addictions are their own fault and aren’t a reflection towards their troubled childhood. Addicts may just get caught up in the wrong situation at the wrong time and end up getting addicted to a drug just to fit in with peers. Drug addictions will create emotional distress no matter whose fault it
To some, alcohol was considered to be “devil's juice” and was forbidden in some homes. The act of prohibiting alcohol distribution, consumption, import, and export throughout the United States was put in place in the 1920s. The Social experiment of prohibition failed due to a rise in organized crime, massive corruption, and peoples willingness to break the law just to acquire something that
Before my husband die, he got cleaned but it was to late for him. The behavior and mentality of drug addicts and alcoholics is wholly irrational until individual understand that they are completely powerless over their addiction and unless they have structure help, they have no hope. Matt and my husband , I think try very hard to stop their addiction. I will give some of the reason : For individuals with a difficult life, sometimes using drugs and alcohol acutually makes life seem better. 2.
