BRISBANE, THE CAPITOL and most populous city in the Australian state of Queensland, and the third most populous city in Australia, lay south of the beautiful beaches of the Sunshine Coast. For the longest time, Brisbane had been seen as something of a poor cousin to Sydney and Melbourne, a sleepy little country town hiding behind a big city facade. But by the outbreak of the Pacific War it was transformed into a bustling garrison city. The combined effect of petrol rationing and American and Australian servicemen, saw tram patronage surge to nearly 35-million passenger journeys in 1941-42 alone. The previous highest figure had been about 24-million in 1928.…

One of the biggest arguments that you will find going on today is, what the legal drinking age in The United States of America should be. Today in the USA the legal drinking age is twenty-one, but why twenty-one why not eighteen or thirty? Why have a drinking age of twenty-one in this country when there are over two hundred other countries that have lower drinking ages, and none that have higher? Who gets to decide the age at which someone is mature enough to consume alcohol? All these questions and more have been used to both keep the drinking age twenty-one and lower it to eighteen.…

School campus lunch is disgusting because it is all slobbery and it is not made homemade. It is not even fresh! The food is so bitter from coming from the freezer and when you take a bite, it feels hard like a rock where it just can break your teeth. The food is so bland it does not taste like anything and one time I found a piece of hair on my food that was obviously not mine. The food is so fake to the point where it is not even made properly. The hamburgers are literally deformed. The food is really hot from overheating it and then students burn their mouth which is so painful! School lunch is really intriguing since foreign objects are found. The Summit staff must think we are animals to eat this kind of food.School lunch is a controversial…
Outdoor public smoking on the National Mall should be banned because it is risky for nonsmokers and the cigarette butts cause a litter problem. When people smoke in public, not only do they risk their own health, they risk the health of the general public. One could argue that smokers should have a designated smoking area on the National Mall, but according to the World Health Organization, there are no safe levels of second-hand smoke whether it is indoors or outdoors. Toxins that our lungs are exposed to on a consistent basis, which is caused by secondhand smoke, can be dangerous to our health. Chemicals such as benzene and arsenic are inhaled from second-hand smoking and can cause cancer. The National Mall is one of the largest tourist attractions in Washington, DC and it attracts millions of people, including families. If a child is not subjected to the toxins from cigarettes at home and in their daily lives, they should not be subjected when they are out of their homes. Even if children were not exposed, non-smokers in general should not be put at risk. Smoke in the air--even outdoors--can cause asthma attacks and bronchial infections, among other reactions.…

Dare to be your own person? Or will you crumple from the influences and pressures of society?
