...I don't think that we should be forced to do 100 hours of community service. Maybe fewer hours or not having to do it at all just a choice if we want to, I don't think they should tell us we won't be able to graduate if we don't get those 100 done. Here are some reasons on why we should have to do community service, Some high schoolers have jobs that take up their afternoon and sometimes the weekends,Some of the students can't drive yet so there parents would have to take them and some parents work and don't have time to take them for 3 hours or more than that come back and pick them up repeatedly, and finally other students have younger siblings they have to take care of or go pick up from schools. There are my three reasons on why we should...

...Freedom of Religion Scenarios “Your first case involved the eccentric Veronica, who did not practice traditional religion, but rather worshipped with poisonous snakes. Veronica argued her 1st Amendment rights to worship with poisonous snakes should be protected just like the 1st Amendment guarantees protection for other religions & the right for people to own guns. Her argument was the state should have never violated her religious practices. As judge or citizen, I can honestly say I have never heard of such faith & snakes scare the absolute hell out of me. There ain’t gonna be no snake worshipping in my town – judgment DENIED!” 1. Veronica’s beliefs may seem unusual but it still counts as a religion regardless whether you have heard of it or not. The establishment clause states that all religion must be read the same. The judge’s ruling is incorrect, especially because he/she is afraid of snakes and has never heard of these practices before. However, judge’s ruling would make more sense of he/she focused on dangers of poisonous snakes, since they have the ability to kill. If there is a possibility of snakes causing harm, then it would be rational to curtail that religion. For instance, religious extremists are not allowed to act on terrorism/violence, despite what their religion may preach... you cannot stone a woman to death simply because she cheated on you. In other words, there is a difference between practicing your religion and causing damage by your religion...

...news Women to drive day in Saudi Arabia Women in Saudi Arabia took part in a protest on Friday against measures that pretty much ban them from driving. Around thirty female, would-be motorists drove their cars in various cities across the country. Their actions were part of a campaign from the Women2drive Facebook site. Manal al-Sharif, who set up the site, was arrested on May 21 and released the following day. She was rearrested after posting videos of herself on YouTube and spent a week in prison. Authorities said she was “inciting public opinion and harming the country’s reputation.” Another woman was given a traffic ticket in the capital Riyadh on Friday, but there were no arrests. Fewer women than expected decided to protest against their inability to drive. Friday’s protest was the latest in a string of incidents of Saudi women driving without a licence and then posting videos of themselves online. Maha al-Qahtani, 39, drove through Riyadh on Friday with her husband in the passenger seat. She said: “This is my basic right. It should not be a big deal. There is nothing wrong or illegal about driving.” Another woman posted a video on YouTube with the message: “All I want is to do my errands or go to work whenever I want.” Many women complain that they spend a quarter of their salary on hiring a driver to take them to and from work. There is no law against female drivers in Saudi, but women cannot get issued with a driving licence to drive in cities. ...

...Teenage drivers are known to be some of the most dangerous drivers on the road today, causing an uncanny amount of accidents and deaths each year with the decisions they carelessly make. Premature decisions have caused many preventable deaths. The driving age should be raised to 18 because teenagers today have caused more problems on the road than thought before with their lack of experience and rebellious nature, the influence of drugs or alcohol, and rule breaking. Teenagers are known to be some of the most spontaneous and indecisive of the general population, and that aspect does not change when they step behind the wheel of a car. There are many factors contributing to teenagers making risky decisions. According to the California DMV,...

...Drinking Age should be lowered Why the drinking age should be lowered It is a Friday night, after a grueling week of studying, students are excited to go downtown and have a good time with their friends at the bar. One person gets to the bar and the bouncer sees his ID, takes a long look at him and says he can’t let him in. This situation happens to millions of college students all over the United States! The drinking age in the United States is 21 and it is somewhat of a controversy for many people. The drinking age should be lowered because people will engage in more responsible drinking, people in their teens will get in less trouble with the law and most importantly it will be the last step towards fully making 18 year olds a part of the adult community. It is well known that college students like to drink. It is no secret, but where they buy and consume their alcohol is a secret. The president of Middlebury College, John Mcardell says, “kids find ways to get around the 21 year old limit. This law has been an abysmal failure. It hasn't reduced or eliminated drinking. It has simply driven it underground, behind closed doors, into the most risky and least manageable of settings." Since most college freshmen and sophomores are under the legal drinking age they are not able to buy their own alcohol and much less go into a bar and have a drink. In a survey I made out of my class all 11 students said that they have consumed an alcoholic beverage before they were...

... society has changed its views concerning this issue. Because the legal drinking age changed to 21 there was an increase in mortality rate at age 21, increase in motor vehicle accidents, and increase in suicides. Even though 18 is considered an adult and a person should be able to make his or her own decisions, the drinking age should not be lowered because teens lack the maturity to handle alcohol and teens are at a higher risk of alcohol-related deaths. This debate has two sides as some people are for lowering the age to 18 again and some against. Many will argue that the average drinking age around the world is 18. According to International Center for Alcohol Policies (2011), “Minimum drinking and purchase ages in countries around the world range from 16 to 25 years of age, with 18 being the most common age limit” (para. 6). Others say that if a person age 18 is old enough to serve and die for his or her country, he or she should be permitted to consume alcoholic beverages. Should the drinking age be lowered to 18? This paper will weigh the pros and cons as well as identify potential issues associated with this debate. Pros on the Debate Many people still hold to the belief that the drinking age should be lowered to the age of 18. This argument is not without validation. When a person reaches the age of 18 that person is...

...support the fact that we need to wait until the age of 21 to drink. To think that 21 is the age when everyone is mature enough to drink is just speculation. At 18 you are allowed to buy tobacco and even tattoo yourself. So how could lawmakers come to the decision that we need to wait until 21 in order to consume a beer? The main argument against keeping the drinking age at 21 is the fact that it may cause problems in the development in the frontal lobes of the brain. There is only minimal supporting evidence that actually shows any problems in normal drinking habits. Many people feel that the drinking age that is set in place is biased and a form of prohibition to the people who are 18 to 20. We need to stand up to lawmakers in the government and ensure that the laws that are emplaced to protect and allow for “adults” to make their own decisions. The fact that the brain may not be fully developed until the age of 21, the drinking age should be lowered because you are considered an adult at 18 and can die for your country and the primary reason states are refusing to change the law is for fear of losing federal funding for roads from the government. There is controversy surrounding the primary argument against lower the drinking age which is the assertion that the brain is still developing before 21. There are many forms of research that have been done throughout the years since Congress passed the National Minimum Purchase Age Act in 1984. This law was passed to encourage...
