For my final project I tried to think about things I truly have an interest in to write about in order to stand behind what I am trying to convince you of. I have brainstormed two ideas so far. My first one is that yoga and meditation should be a required course for at least one semester at both a high school and college level. As someone who goes to yoga at least three times a week and struggled with anxiety I can see and feel the benefits of yoga and meditation which I believe everyone, but especially students could benefit from practice. High school curriculum and college classes have increased and become more and more stressful over the years and many students do not know methods to cope with stress. Stress can be minimized by a lot of tactics, but breathing and exercise have been proven to work wonders for young adults with stress.
My second thought was to set the argument of changing the legal drinking age from twenty one back to eighteen. I believe that because the US puts such a high emphasis on the drinking age young teens want to rebel against it, which is evident that this happens. Many countries overseas allow for young children to have a glass at dinner which takes away from the fun and risk of drinking that so many kids in America feel. I believe lowering the drinking age would lower the arrests, MIPS, and deaths from alcohol poisoning if the drinking age was lowered.
