Term 1, Week 5 (2 Feb 09)
Golfers, youths in brawl on green
Q1) How did the teenagers trespass into Singapore Island Country Club?
They were taking a walk in the forest area near Macritchie Reservoir to see the monkeys after a night of drinking at Vivo City . They were trying to find their way out of the forest when they wandered into the golf course .
Q2) Is underage drinking correct? Explain your answer.
In my opinion, it is not . And,hopefully,it never will . You see, apart from all the brain cells alcohol can kill,liver diseases you can get, you actually have a choice to drink when you are of legal age.
Being of the legal age,there is a high percentage that you can make good choices .Being underage,our maturity as well, is , "underage" . So,with a low maturity level , our choices will be affected. Let's say, your 10 . You see a slide at a playground , you rush to it, screaming with glee, and slide down it,and go up again,screaming,and sliding down again . Will you see a 20 year old man do THAT? Of course not .Now for drinking, some adults know whether it is good for them and, they can control their intake . For most underage drinkers, is their maturity level high enough ? No . If underage drinking was not against the law, you would see so many young people getting drunk,here and there . Now that there is a law , there will be a lesser percentage of underage drinking since most alcohol dealers would not want to break the law of selling alcohol beverages to underage people . You see , at least 60 percent of the whole world is of legal age . The estimated 40 percent are underage . If underage drinking is allowed, at least , 20 percent of that 40 percent will be drunk . If people are drunk,they cannot control their own conscience .They may start to get in fights randomly . With more drunks(the estimated extra if underage drinking was allowed ) ,there will be more fights. More fights is equal to higher percentage of injury and havoc . In the end, the whole world will probably be a very bad place to live in . In my opinion,this is why underage drinking is WRONG .
End .
