In this letter, the author argues that all students should be required to take the driver’s education course at Centerville High School which is a mandatory program sponsored by the high school to solve the teenage driving problems in the town of Centerville. He supports his argument by presenting some evidence, however, there can be a number of flaws in his argument, rendering it unconvincing. First, the author assumes that Centerville High School students should take driver’s program because several accidents in and around Centerville have involved teenagers. However, the evidence the author needs to provide that the accidents may have been caused only by Centerville High School students.
Today well over 50% of the states in America have a “No Pass, No Drive” law, and these states are experiencing great success in terms of education. A “No Pass, No Drive” law, or NPND, is the official name for the law that requires students to pass with a ‘C’ average before driving. There is no better way to provide a strong reasoning behind the support of NPND legislation than to observe the effects in states that are currently happening. One of the biggest arguments against NPND is that it gives students on the verge of dropping out one more reason to go through with the decision. However, this argument is very flawed because NPND actually does the exact opposite.
in The Things They Carried Tim O’Brien is faced with a difficult choice. He has been drafted into the Vietnam War, and he can either stay and fight or run to Canada. The Vietnam War was a controversial one, with lots of people dying for an unnamed cause. It’s easy to see why he wouldn’t want to be involved with that.

Almost every day I hear a cadet say, “Why did I come here?” So the question is, was it worth it coming to West Point? There aren’t too many reasons that cadets initially came to West Point and the big three would have to be, free college, serving as an officer, and making good money as a civilian. Of course having a good thing usually entails missing out on something else beneficial. This is the scarcity principle, and what cadets miss out on by coming to West Point is the normal civilian college lifestyle that we all have seen, experienced, or heard about.
Participation trophies given to children has been a controversial topic amongst all parents. Some say that one should be rewarded based off of effort, other than talent. Others say that one should not be rewarded for failure. They believe that you only earn what you work for. Giving participation trophies to children do nothing other than set their life up with complacency.

The first attempt and success to climb Mt. Everest occured in 1953. Since then, almost 4,000 people have been able to scale the mountain, but over 230 people have not been able to climb it successfully. There is a chance of accident or death when climbing this mountain or any dangerous activity. All people should should have the right to rescue services even if they knowingly put themselves at risk because there is always a chance of an accident happening, rangers are there to save people in danger, and there are rescue vehicles being produced to be used in case of an emergency.
“Processed foods are usually loaded with added sugar… or its evil twin, High Fructose Corn Syrup”Majority of Americans consume more processed foods than organic foods and there has recently been news about how processed meats can cause cancer.

Running, that word gives many people different emotions that range all the way from disgust to excitement. Most people will say that they would never willingly run, at least not without some motivation and other people might even say that they enjoy it. This is why the sport of cross country is so strange to people, in fact it is strange to me as well that people would willingly run, despite the fact that I actually run cross country. The main reason that people don 't think running is fun is because it is so physically challenging. Running requires you to always be on your game, the slightest injury or distraction can prevent you from doing your best.
My state legislature is considering students to have a high school diploma before he or she can get their driver's license. I disagree with this consideration because there are many advantages for a teen to have their license before they graduate. I think that students should have their license before they graduate because they could provide their own transportation to school and extracurricular activities after. It teaches teen students to have a greater responsibility, and I think it would better prepare teens for entering the real world. First, there are many advantages for a teen to have their license before they graduate such as providing their own transportation to and from school or after school events.

Ben Novotny Mrs. Crowe Lang & Comp. 8 November 2015 To Test or Not to Test, That is not the Question Despite being citizens of one of the most socially, politically, and economically advanced countries in the world, American students are not prepared for college and careers. According to national ACT test results, 25% of students fell short of the college readiness benchmark while 60% did not meet requirements in two of the four tested subject areas (Sheehy, 1). This education epidemic is a serious problem that can only be remedied by change. The purpose of education is to prepare students for the real world in which they have access to the plethora of facts gathered by centuries of human research. Here, they are tasked with making connections
I believe this because first of all, if the driving age were to be raised, it would limits teens’ options for the future and or present. Next, it gives teens more independence, and teaches them about responsibility. Lastly teens can transport themselves and get where they need to be. The cons to raising the driving age outweigh the pros. One reason is that not being able to drive at an earlier age limits teens.
Between 1850 and 1900, trophy hunting by early settlers in North America was largely uncontrolled with negative consequences for wildlife populations. Over one million were killed. Wolves nearly became extinct due to over-hunting and poaching. By the late 19th century, following the devastating impact of hunting by early settlers, there was recognition among some hunters for the need to protect the remaining population. During the early 20th century, conservation groups such as the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) and the Wildlife Conservation Society played key roles in the establishment of protected areas in North America.
Which Counts more--Taking a stand or winning Taking a stand is what counts more than just winning. Taking a stand is so much more than just winning one thing that will be forgotten about in maybe about a week. Taking a stand is standing up for what you believe that is right; opposing what is wrong in your view. Taking a stand is far more rewarding than actually winning.
