Self Analysis

Throughout this blog, I logically presented ideas for the lowering of the drinking age. I minimized any emotional arguments. One thing that I did not write much about was the opposite view point, this simply is because there is not much information to keep the age at 21 besides the MADD organization. My blog provides several different reasons to lower the drinking age. First off, I pointed out that the blackmail involved to lower the drinking age could be considered blackmail and is unconstitutional. I then moved to point out that drinking could actually be beneficial to human health and keep off major illnesses. Many people were very astonished by this fact, and I used this to connect to my major idea to lower the drinking age. Lowering the drinking age and building up healthy drinking habits will be better for the country. For the MADD organization I read their website and realized that the arguments they used to lower the drinking age were extremely emotional based. Many of there ‘facts’ were bogus and made no sense if you thought about it, instead they focused heavily on the emotional route claiming that raising the drinking age would save countless innocent lives on the road. When the death count dropped in the 1990’s, MADD took credit for it. One could wonder if maybe it was the fact that cars were becoming safer with features such as air bags. I based my argument on information that I have learned over the course of the blog. I originally thought that the drinking age should be lowered because the government is taking away freedoms that are not constitutional while asking 18 year-olds to risk their life.

Overall, I thought you did a very good job with minimizing the emotional arguments of this issue, since most of what is usually heard is mainly emotional based. It is best to present facts informatively which is what you did throughout the blog. I do think it would be interesting to learn more about some of the opposing views of lowering the drinking age, showing the true binary issue. You did, however, take a well developed stand basing your arguments on researched facts. This blog has opened my eyes to many ideas about the pros of lowering the drinking age that I have never thought about. The overall layout of your blog is interesting, visually pleasing and appropriate to the issue being discussed. I also enjoyed the music you have linked with your blog, it has made it enjoyable to continue to view the latest posts.
