Lower the Drinking Age? Kyle Altic November 4th‚ 2013 Abstract There was a big debate on whether or not the minimum drinking age should be lowered. The media gave this debate a lot of attention. It’s not about the age it’s about the decisions they make with alcohol at a very young adult age.

Lowering the Voting Age Do you wish that we would get a teen’s input on world events sometimes? What about getting them to vote?

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery (Exo. 20:14) This Commandment reads and it defines a right ad personam‚ created by the contract of marriage. Contrast in this instance the regulations of Hammurabi’s Code concerning sacred virgins. By this Law Moses erected a bulwark to protect the relations of the sexes and flung a rampart about the home. He here declares by obvious implication the sanctity and inviolability of marriage and protects true love. Marriage is made safe; the most tender of all relationships

The policy of lowering the voting age from 18 years old to 16 years old has sparked political debates all over the United States. The main debate has originated from conservative and liberal ideals.

The consumption of alcoholic beverages is a privilege not a right. The legal drinking age in the United States is twenty-one‚ and I believe that this is a fair age. There are so many statistics that show drinking to be bad to begin with‚ but there are many more statistics that show why the drinking age of twenty-one should not be lowered. Teenagers do not show enough responsibility when drinking‚ and it would do everyone a lot more harm if they could do it legally. There is no argument that drinking
