The purpose of this video is about the racist and stuff. Like the black and latino will get expensive housing and small loan . The white people will get big loan and small taxes they have to pay. The person that made this rule the whites should live weather and the color live poor. William levitt was the person not just that his quiot was “levittown homes must not be used or occupied by any person other than members of the caucasian race.” then the government say,” developers i want you to exclude non-whites. Adam ruins everything brut up and calculation of the 1934 through 1968 a whopping 98% of homes loans were given to white family and 2% were given to color.
Some way the video show you how the color people lived and they show the territory on the game board. The video is great and it's shows you everything that happen in the past is still happening today like the school. How the white schools can get more stuff new and more experienced teacher. The color schools will get not that much stuff they will get ap and physic. I agree how the video of adam ruins everything, he is just telling people what happen in the past and still happening. Almost everyone can agree that alcohol should not be given or allowed to children or young adults under a certain age. Alcohol is a substance that is very dangerous and if you used incorrectly or immaturely the consequences can be the great danger to the users or the ones around them. The topic of lowering the drinking age has been in discussion for many decades. “Between 1970 and 1976, 29 states lowered their age for drinking alcohol. The results were catastrophic. Highway deaths among teenagers and young adults skyrocketed. Almost immediately, states began raising the minimum drinking age again.” “In 1984, Congress passed the Uniform Drinking Age Act, which required states to have a minimum drinking age of 21 for all types of alcohol consumption if they wanted to receive federal highway monies. The legal drinking age has stayed at 21 since then” (Main). Although the age has been lowered and raised again, this topic has not been resolved throughout these decades. Underage drinking, specifically under the age of 21, should not be allowed in any country because it is very dangerous, when it comes to health complications and other risks, and can be taken under poor circumstances where it can be over used or misused.
“Alcohol is the oldest and most widely used drug in the world” (Whiting). Once one becomes addicted to it, they use this alcoholic beverage as a substitute for regular drinking beverages. It does not take very long for one to become an alcoholic either. “Many people think alcohol is a stimulant, but actually it is a depressant. It slows down the function of all living cells, especially those in the brain” (http://sciencenetlinks.com/student-teacher-sheets/alcohol-and-your-brain/). “Studies show that drinking often begins at very young ages” (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). If one is to drink alcohol at a young age this person is put at greater risk of becoming a full-on alcoholic very quickly. Young people think it is cool to drink alcohol and to party all the time. Once they get a taste of this beverage they usually want more. Also, because of peer pressure, young people are more likely to drink alcohol because it is what the “cool” people are doing. Alcohol leads to other drugs and substance abuse, too. If the drinking age were to lower to eighteen, this would not change the actions of young partiers. “Alcohol should be forbidden to 18- to 20-year-olds precisely because they have a propensity to binge drink whether the stuff is illegal or not—especially males” (Main). Drinking alcohol usually leads to other illegal substances. “Youths who report drinking prior to the age of 15 are more likely to develop substance abuse problems, to engage in the risky sexual behavior, and to experience other negative consequences in comparison to those who begin at a later time” (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). Another reason to keep the drinking age at 21 is that drinking slows the reaction time and also makes it to where the drinker has less control of his or her body. For example, a male who becomes drunk is more likely to rape young women. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services “It is estimated that 90% of college rapes involve the use of alcohol by the assailant, the victim, or both. About 97,000 college students are victims of sexual assault or date rape related to alcohol use each year. Alcohol use is involved in 95% of all violent crime on college campuses” (“Underage Drinking Is a Serious Problem”). According to Carla T. Main, “approximately 100,000 incidents annually” are reported of “males sexually [assaulting] their female companions” (“The Minimum Legal Drinking Age Should Not Be Lowered”). But rape is not always the case. Usually, if both partners are under the influence of alcohol they are more likely to have unprotected sex. “According to the CAS, among the 8 million college students in the United States surveyed in one study year,…Eight percent of students—474,000—have unprotected consensual sex each year because they have been drinking” (Main). If the government were to lower the drinking age more unprotected sex and rape would occur because they would have more of an opportunity to drink and would not get into any trouble drinking either. Another example of alcohol slowing the reaction time and resulting in less control of the individual's actions is accidents that occur when under the influence of alcohol. According to Main “on average 1,100, a year die from alcohol-related traffic crashes and another 300 die in non-traffic alcohol-related deaths. According to the CAS, among the 8 million college students in the United States surveyed in one study year, more than 2 million drove under the influence of alcohol and more than 3 million rode in cars with drivers who had been drinking” (“The Minimum Legal Drinking Age Should Not Be Lowered”). The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported that “relative to adults, young people who drink and drive have an increased risk of alcohol-related crashes because of their relative inexperience behind the wheel and their increased impairment from alcohol” (“Underage Drinking Is a Serious problem”). Other accidents that can occur due to alcohol are “…poisonings, drownings, falls, burns…” (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). From a few of these accidents “in 2002, 2,569 individuals ages 16 to 20 died from unintentional injuries other than motor vehicle crashes…approximately 40% of these deaths were alcohol-related” (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). The most important reason to keep the legal drinking age at twenty-one is that of the effects it has on the health of the user. Alcohol is very harmful to our bodies if used in huge proportions. But even used in small proportions it can still harm the body, just not as much and not as fast. If someone were to binge drink the user has a very good chance of getting alcohol poisoning which could result in the death of that individual. Alcohol is very harmful to many, if not all, of the organs. According to Albert S. Whiting, “there is a great deal of evidence to show that even a small amount of alcohol can be quite harmful to the heart.” Whiting also reported that “alcohol has a direct effect on heart muscle cells” (“Alcohol Use Is Harmful”). When drinking alcohol it speeds up the heart rate. https://infogram.com/resume-photo-1gdjp93e4zd4pyw
Remember when you were a careless eight-year-old kid riding a bike with your friends, racing each other around the neighborhood? Remember that feeling of absolute freedom as you felt the wind in your hair and the smile it put on your face? I never thought I would feel that way as a grown-up until my friends presented me a red brand-new bike. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the total idea of commuting by bike. One morning a couple of days later, I changed completely my mind.
I was stuck in a traffic jam and saw in my rear mirror a man in a suit riding a classy bike with his laptop case in one hand and a handlebar in the other. I figured out it would take him about 15 minutes to get to the office while I was still sitting in my car and waiting for the cars in line ahead to move, even if just for an inch. I was always very afraid of being late for my business meetings. That is when I decided to get on the bike. I haven’t regretted my decision so far. One of the best things about cycling is that the bike is perfect for exercising. Just cycling to and from work or to the shops every day is enough to keep you healthy and happy. Besides, it's incredibly liberating to be able to get anywhere without losing time in traffic jams. Also, don’t forget about the environmental benefits. Cycling helps to reduce air pollution while reducing also traffic congestion and the need for gas. At some point, I realized that I started to use the bike more often, not only to get to work but also to catch up with friends and to head out for coffee on weekends. I loved this style of traveling because it lets you really appreciate what you are seeing around you. You can stop anywhere you want and yet you can cover a lot of distance. That daily distance I rode to work was no longer enough for me. I started riding to the nearest decent mountain bike trails so I could spend the day going up and down hills. I did it because it was fun. Because I enjoyed it. “I wish I could bike all the way around the world” I said to myself one day. And then I thought,“Why not?” OK, I knew I couldn’t ride across the oceans. I came up with the idea to ride across each of the continents, from coast to coast. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became about my future plans. If I will do this, I will have to thoroughly prepare, I thought. I was also very scared. Would I be able to make it over towering mountains and across burning deserts? What if I got lost somewhere and didn’t know the language? After a few months of training, I set off. This was hard at first, but soon I realized that everywhere I went people cheered me on when they heard about my journey. The newspaper back home reported on my progress. Once or twice I ran out of money and has to spend a couple weeks doing odd jobs before I could continue on my way. I never gave up on my idea, and a year and six months later, I found myself pedaling back toward the place where it all began. my journey was over and I was home. These days, I continue exploring the world with my bike as often as I can. Thanks to my bike, I’ve made countless friends, seen incredible sights, and had unforgettable adventures. I would have missed out on all of that if I hadn’t decided to try biking instead of driving! I guess there is an upside to traffic jams after all! |
