My Topic:
I choose to research the drinking age in the United States because it seemed to be a very common issue in the everyday world around me. I am a college student currently and even through out high school I have been exposed to underage drinking. Coming to college took it to another level because there are students who are of age to drink but also ones that are not. I thought that researching this topic would help figure out a possible solution to help this issue out. One that I found would be most effective is lowering the drinking age all together.
Who I Contacted:
I decided to write a letter to my college president, Dr. Elli Manning, because drinking seemed to be a prevalent issue he experienced with the college. There is actually a group of college presidents that have created a group for other college presidents to join to support lowering the drinking age.
Other Topics:
Aside from lowering the drinking age, I came upon other interesting topics that came to my attention. One of them was allowing teachers to be armed at schools. That subject is interesting because there is the reasoning behind safety for the students and it could both beneficial and dangerous for them.
Get Involved!:
If you guys do decide to get involved with this, I recommend if you go to a college to talk to your president about the situation as well. Its a great step in making a change and it will help voice out the opinion from to a wider crowd since they are of high authority. Even if you don't go to a college, still try and reach out and tell people about it. You never know, they could agree and voice it out to an even wider crowd.
This was apart of my english assignment so if your interested in other topics like this, my classmates topics are in the link below
