driving age should be raised to 18

I’m trying to learn for my English class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

-The age at which people can get a driver’s license should be raised to 18,This could bring a lot of conflicts since children from rich families get to know how to drive cars and operate machines at very tender ages.

Purpose and Overview

The third (and next-to-last) out-of-class writing assignment of the semester requires the use of a claim of policy. This kind of argument is sometimes called a proposal argument or a problem-solution argument even though “solving” a problem is not always the primary goal. Sometimes the goal is to address or merely “lessen” the problem. You’ve been anxious throughout the semester to write an argument based upon a claim of policy, so here, at last, is your chance.

Writing Task

In an essay of at least 1,200 words (about 4-5 pages), chose a topic about which you can make an argument based upon a claim of policy. You may use one of the topics in the background readings listed above or you may decide to select a topic of your own.

Based upon the issue that you have chosen, what should or could be done about this issue? What is one way that it could or should realistically be addressed?

You will need to use at least three outside sources in your final draft. If you choose one of the topics suggested by the textbook readings, you may use one of the textbook readings as one of the minimum three sources. You may want to use more than one of the textbook readings, but only one of them will count toward meeting the minimum of three outside sources.

Use MLA format when introducing and citing sources, including the readings from the textbook. You will also need to include a Works Cited list that includes all of the outside sources you used in your final draft. The Works Cited list does not count toward the minimum word count.

For the Thesis and Rough Draft Workshop, you will need to have made a tentative selection of a possible topic and located at least one outside source other than the readings from the textbook. You should have also considered what has caused the problem or issue and the particular steps that it will take to implement your proposal. And you should have, as always, considered what an opposing viewpoint to your claim might be.

Your responses to the workshop questions will need to be submitted to Canvas by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, April 2. You will then respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts so that they (and you) can work on the final draft.

Some notes to help you with writing your essay:

• Be prepared to describe the problem or issue to readers who might not be familiar with it. For example, you’ll need to establish how widespread or serious an issue or problem it is. Some data, statistics, etc. would be helpful in defining the problem for your audience.
• Make a list of the cause or causes of the problem. Your solution should probably address them directly. If you can get rid of the cause or causes of the problem, maybe you can get rid of the problem itself.
• Choose a specific action that you want to propose. Make it as clear and direct as possible. Your proposed solution could eliminate or just lessen the problem, but it should not be so broad as to suggest that “something should be done.” Be specific about what that “something” should or could be.
• Clearly explain the steps that would need to be taken to implement your proposal. Be sure to include who would be involved in each of the steps and what costs (money, time, effort, etc.) might be associated with each step (and overall).
• Describe what the outcome would be. If your proposal were implemented, how would things be different? In particularly, how would they be better than they are now?
• The counterarguments this time will likely be the other proposals that people have made regarding this issue or problem. You will need to describe them and then explain why your proposal is better or stronger than each of the alternatives.
