Crossing The Barriers Emily Stowe
1,050 words
Since the beginning of time women have been trying
to define their place in society, demanding
equality and justice. Through legal and political
battles, various women's movements, marches and
protests this great task has been nearly
accomplished. In the latter part of the 18 th
century, women were generally classified as
delicate, unintelligent creatures. If the
necessity arose for a women to be employed they
were classified a lower, poorer part of the
population. Women had great struggle in ga...

Why The Drunk Driving Laws Should Be Worse
432 words
A. If you dont drink and drive, you are safe,
right? Wrong. What if the person that swerves over
the yellow line and hits you is drunk.
Approximately 37 % of alcoholic accidents are
caused by repeat offenders. They shouldnt have so
many chances, and to prevent this I believe the
penalties for drunk driving should be more
effective. There are some ideas to do so like
lowering BACs, zero tolerance, booze it and lose
it, and ALR. A. Here are some sobering statistics
about drunk driving. 1. A drunk ...

Drivers License Elderly People
702 words
The age limit for driving among teenagers and the
elderly should be changed for various reasons and
the problems that are endured by these age groups
should be looked at closer. The law should changed
so that a teenager cannot receive their drivers
license until they reach the age of 18 and the
elderly should have to retake their driving test
annually. My views on this subject are strong for
various reasons. One reason a teenager should be
18 years old before receiving their license is
because a...

Should The Drivers License Age Be Raised
1,078 words
Should the age to receive a driver's license be
raised and, if not, should graduated licensing be
instituted? This is a growing question across
America as well as other countries around our
globe. The percentage of teenage accidents
involving automobiles is on a constant rise.
Whether caused by the lack of experience or under
the influence of alcohol, death has become all too
common among teen motorists. This problem is not
going to go away by itself; action needs to be
taken. The state must rai...

Drunk Driving Stopping Repeat Offenders

Drunk Driving: Stopping Repeat Offenders How long
must it be and how many people must die before we
make the punishment for drunk driving fit the
deadly serious crime that it is. If America is
serious about putting an end to drunk driving, the
first thing we must do is to stop calling it an
"accident." When someone decides to get drunk and
then get behind the wheel of a car, it is anything
but accidental. It is a deliberate act of
irresponsibility that often ends in unspeakable
violence. Drunk d...

Department Of Transportation Years Of Age

There are many accidents everyday that are costing
people their lives. My young brothers and most
definitely my grandparents would probably kill me
for saying so, but there should be some changes
made to the laws concerning the age requirements
of drivers. If the State of Ohio changed the age
requirement of operating a vehicle to between 18 -
70 years of age, our roads would be much safer to
drive on. If you had told me when I turned sixteen
that I couldnt get my license until I turned

Single Parent Families National Institute Of Justice

There is no doubt that various experts can give us
many theories as to the causes of juvenile
delinquency, including one's economic background,
substance abuse, delinquent peer groups, repeated
exposure to violence, increased availability of
firearms and media violence, however, I feel that
the number one cause of juvenile delinquency is
the breakdown of families, including lack of
parental control over children. It is ironic in
America, today, one must have a driver's license

Health Care Provider Spinal Cord

Rabies, a virus of the nervous system and salivary
glands is a fast moving killer; its not something
to mess around with. Rabies comes from the Latin
word to rage. Rabies is easily associated with
rage. When people think of rabies, they usually
think of a mad raccoon or dog, foaming at the
mouth and running around crazy; dying soon after.
The thought of going crazy is a pretty reasonable
guess for how rabies torments its victims. The
virus enters through a bite or transfer of
infected saliva and...
