share this ambivalence, but recognize that these
two conflicting ideals are connected with the
ongoing dynamics of cultures and communities with
moral, political, economic and ecological forces

accomplishes some of them, but goes on living even

Age Of Twenty Alcoholic Beverages

The Drinking Age Should Be Lowered to Eighteen Why
is it that eighteen-year-olds can legally obtain a
drivers license, register to vote, be forced into
jury duty or a draft, can be tried as an adult and
even put to death, but cannot buy and consume
alcoholic beverages legally? I think these laws
are very contradicting. Eighteen-year-olds are
supposed to be adults, responsible for their own
actions, yet they must wait until the age of
twenty-one to consume alcoholic beverages legally.
The way to ...
