The drinking age in America should not be lowered

There are many reasons why the legal drinking age should remain at 21 years of age, the first being a matter of public safety. Lowering the drinking age would contribute to more car accidents. There are already 11 accidents a day due to alcohol consumption, and that’s without increasing the number of drinkers. This is because alcohol consumption decreases motor responses, and it's more pronounced in young drinkers with low tolerance. Second, alcohol severely damages the developing brain, which does not finish maturing until 21. How can we expect our high school students to perform academically if they start abusing alcohol and damaging their brains at 18? The final reason is due to the increase in personal insurance premiums that could arise from more people on the road able to drink. The average insurance premiums increase from approximately sixty to two hundred dollars per month, dependent on male/ female driver. Imagine the price increase for something as important as the level of alcohol usage among the general population, especially for parents that have dependents that are able to consume alcohol legally at 18. These are just a few reasons why the drinking limit should not be lowered to age 18.

Slang

The word "nigger" has acquired so many meanings and different usages over the years that sometimes it's rather difficult to tell if it's being used offensively or not. It can change its simply based on the tone of the person using it, or become horribly offensive it certain people use it. The word, as we use it today, originated as a bastardized version of the Spanish word "negro", whish is a descendent of the Latin word "niger", referring to the colour black.
In 1619, African slaves being shipped to the Virginia colony were described as "negars" by John Rolfe, thus creating the racially offensive use of the word. Since then, the word has centrally been used as an offensive way of referring to African Americans. The term "nigga, please" first appeared in the 1970s, being used by comedians such as Paul Mooney. Since then, its use has become increasingly prevalent in African American comedy routines. Chris Rock once had a routine called "Niggas vs. Black People" in which he distinguishes between the uses of the term by saying that "there's, like, a civil war going on with black people, and there's two sides. There's black people, and there's niggas. And the niggas have to go!" The terms widespread use in the comedy circuit is largely thought to be a result of the influence of the hip-hop or rap culture. Artists like N.W.A. (Niggaz with Attitude), Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, and Snoop Dogg use the word quite frequently in their songs, thus contributing to the ever-growing use of "nigger".
Though the word seems to have been reclaimed by the African American culture (an act know as reappropriation), it is still widely considered a social taboo to use it. Furthermore, the word has a massive double standard behind who can use it and who can't. For instance, it's use has become popular with younger generations of African Americans, often being used to refer to ones companions (like "bros" or "dudes"), but if used by someone of a different ethnicity or race, can be viewed as a hostile or racist remark, even if it wasn't intended to be. Because of how delicately this word must be used, it would be much easier if people just stopped using it all together.

Henry Wadsworths opinion about musicmakes us one in terms of language. His definition of music provides us with identity, similarity, and differences. The essence of music is universal to all. The many uses of music include, but are not limited to, many therapeutic uses as well as strength and emotional support for the weak and broken hearted. Music is relaxing no matter who or where you are. No matter where in the world you are, the notes are read the same and sound the same when played. The notes are understood from ocean to ocean. As evident, even military occasions testify the beauty of music. Many underestimate the importance of music in our lives and the many uses of it. In general, music is that important forse that has and will continue to endure the test of time. As quoted by Henry Wadsworth, "Music is the universal language of mankind."
