Week 10 Assignment 1

The topic for my second paper that my group members and I have decided on is Alcohol use among teens. The drinking age is the main point of the paper; should it be lowered, or should there even be one at all? The three argumentative sides that we have come up with are how teens really choose to drink in order to rebel. The second point would be that Europe, a country with no legal drinking age, really doesn’t have many issues with drinking. This isn’t a problem for these foreign countries because teens have grown up with alcohol, and are accustomed to it. Our third point would be the naysayer, which is that there is new research proving that it can cause physical damage. For the paper each member of the group is going to take one of the points and write about their point. We are then going to come together as a group and put it together with each others input. Putting the paper all together will avoid my major concern of restating something someone has already said.
