There a number of important issues in today's society worth digging deeper into. Topics such as: Violent video games and their impression on young children; Teen drinking (drinking age); music pirating; and legalized marijuana. All of which clearly cause much debate today.
Violent video games have been around since video games have been created, but recently, especially in the past ten years, the violence and realness has escalated exponentially. Games like "Grand Theft Auto" and "Call of Duty" are all about violence and are targeted towards a younger audience. What could the repercussions of these video games be though? Could these kid's be more prone to issues later in life? Will they be more violent as they mature? All these questions lead to the debate of whether or not these games should be allowed to be put in the hands of young children or let alone even made.
Teen drinking is also another important issue today. Everyday on the news you hear of teens at party's getting hospitalized or even in today's music culture teen drinking is very prevalent. Should this be curbed? What about the drinking age and the fact that soldiers can enlist but still can't have a beer? All very important questions.
Another possible topic for this paper would be the legalization of marijuana. In many states across the country it is now legal to be used as "medicine" but many are still not on board with this. Is it possible that it could become federally legal? If so what new laws would come into effect, new taxes, regulations? The main focus of the paper would be taking a side and providing evidence for why that side is correct and why the other is not.
