Colton Greene Mr. Bates – 6 English Literature 12 12 February 2014 Senior Research Paper – Final Draft How Henry Ford Affected the Lives of the American People Imagine if Henry Ford did not invent the moving assembly line back in 1913.

Henry Ford directly impacted the lives of the people of his time by making cars more affordable and, without knowing, impacted the lives of many generations to come because the assembly line made it easier and faster to make products.

Raising the Legal Driving Age Getting a driver’s license is one of the major milestones in most teenager’s lives. Having the ability to get behind the wheel of a car gives young people a great sense of maturity and independence. But, is ok in today’s society to allow that sense of maturity at such a young age? Right now, in the state of Virginia, teens can get their learners permit at age 15 and have their driver’s license by the age of 16 with only six behind-the-wheel hours of supervised experience (DMV, 2015). In a fast moving world that is much different than just 20 years ago, only having six hours in a little more than a year’s worth of time behind the wheel before being able to receive a license is just not enough.
