The person who I will talk about is going to be Martin Luther King Jr. This is the man that led many black american people to rise up against the unfair laws of the U.S back in the day. He led a revolution of many black american’s so they can rise up against the government for  their unfair treatment of black american citizens. They continued to protest and not follow the laws of the government that was put on them and kept doing and kept doing it and so on, until they accomplished what they were seeking for, rights for black american citizens, granted not all white Americans were happy about this, they still were treated kind of the same just not as bad as it was before their rights. But what Martin Luther King Jr. did forever changed the U.S and their ways of treating black Americans as well as any other colored american citizens. They led many schools, stores, shops ,market’s, etc. to allow black american citizens to enter them and use their items as they wish or anything like that. What Martin Luther King Jr. did inspired many other people in the U.S and influenced them to do great things and fight for what they believe in and fight for equality as long as it was peaceful and not irrational and crazy like riots and what not, but we all know they will still do so, for some reason. So that was the person I have talked about for black history month.

In recent discussions of drinking age in america, a controversial issue has been whether

 

the it should be lowered or not.  

 

On the one hand, some argue that it should be lowered

 

From this perspective, They say that it should be lowered because the students can be smarter about their choices and will be responsible.

 

On the other hand, however, others argue that it should not be lowered.  In the words of one of this views

 

main supporters, “people drinking under 21 are more likely to get intoxicated rather people over 21

‘’(Stephanie Turner).

 

According to this view, they believe that the drinking age should not be lowered due to the extra harmful effects.  In sum, then, the issue is whether

 

the drinking age should be lowered orit should not be lowered.

 

My own view is that is that it should be lowered.  Though

 

I concede that the drinking age is not on the rise because of youth wanting to rebel and drink and due to peer pressure and not many of the factors are due to underage drinking in accidents, I still

 

maintain that that it should not be lowered.

 

For example, young adults who are in college will be affected by alcohol due to the use of drinking it because it kills brain cells.

 

Although some might object that I may be wrong,

 

I reply that they are completely wrong due to the fact that it has been scientifically proven that it drinking alcohol kills off brain cells.

 

The issue is important because if the drinking age is lowered more accidents will happen and the amount of college student underperforming will rise.

 

Do you agree that the drinking age should be lowered/ stay the same? why?
