Persuasive Essay About Responsible Adults

When a young person breaks the law in Canada, they are dealt with differently than adults, for they lack the level of maturity and development. The federal law that governs Canada’s youth justice system is Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). The act was created in 2003 with a purpose to hold youth (12-17) accountable through sanctions that contribute to the protection of the public. The basic principles of this act are crime prevention, rehabilitation and reintegration, protection of the public and youth, meaningful consequences, and accountability. Hence, it is fair and equitable, as well as effective for youth to a great extent, with preventing crime while ensuring the accountability of a young offender. The data from Statistics Canada show that youth crime has decreased 42% since 2000. This essay focuses on how the justice system effectively ensures the protection of society, the innocent, and ensures that those who break the law, face appropriate consequences.

Over 7,500 animals are killed in zoos because they are deemed surplus, as stated by Liz Tyson an animals rights activist. This giraffe in particular sparked a huge controversy. HIs name was Marius, he was homed at the Copenhagen Zoo and was 2 years old when the staff killed him with a bolt gun. Marius was then dissected and fed to lions in front of ongoing zoo goers. What got people fuming is that he was a healthy, young giraffe. Therefore I believe the killing of Marius should not be justified.

The cost of college tuition is continually on the rise and has placed many burdens on high school students as well as their families. Some of the burdens that are placed are a result of parents putting pressure on their children to earn scholarships. Some of the burden is a result of students putting pressure on themselves to earn scholarships. Then, there is the burden of high college debt once the student graduates. Is this pressure really helping our students or is it hurting them? The bottom line is college tuition is skyrocketing out of control and something must be done before it destroys our families and our children.

Have you ever been restricted from certain privileges because the law revolves around a specific age? America’s way of governing young adults and their method of placing restrictions on certain ages is arbitrary and irrational.

The age of maturity should be 18 for many reasons.

When William died, his wife Nancy continued to live here until this past February when she too passed away. She was lusty with life right up to the end and sharp as a tack too. They only had one child, a son that now lives in Boston- he instructed me to rent the place out until he decides whether he wants to keep it or sell it.”

Parents of bullying should be fined because they raised the child, The should have taught him the difference between good or bad. Note that I do not wish for the parents to be fined immediately, the should tell them if this happens again, the parents will be fined depending on how bad the bullying is. If the child continues his parents will be fined an extra 25 dollars, once 100 dollars extra has been reached the parents go to jail for 3 weeks. This should stop bullying because last time I checked, with all these campaigns to stop bullying, it is still a major issue. Something needs to be done before more deaths or suicides occur.

Research shows that kids who grew up in a strict household are more likely to suffer from traits such as anxiety and depression. The definition of the word strict is defined as this, demanding total obedience or observance, this word seems to be more logical if applied to where the army is concerned, but it is a guideline to how my parents raised my siblings and I throughout the majority of our lives. For those who didn’t grow up having strict parents cannot necessarily relate to any of the experiences that I have had, but they may begin to see how it is like to live the life that I do with enforced rules and behavior. Often throughout my childhood and well into my teenage years, I have heard the following statements numerous times: “why can’t you?’ “are you sure that your parents won’t let you?” “you don’t know unless you ask.” These questions are asked as if the person before them and the person before them didn’t ask these very same ones. I have come to learn that it was just easier to say that I was busy with chores or I had too much homework to do in order to avoid these tedious questions. Of course, it was not as if we were in the military and we had to stand in attention, but some of the aspects were there.

Having escaped rule from a tyrannical British government, the United States was founded on ideals of freedom and equality for all people. These fantasies of universal egalitarianism turned out to be merely that: fantasies. American history is full of stories of the oppressed struggling to get the rights they deserve and of the controversy over these issues that consequently ensues. “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery” by Frederick Douglass and “We Shall Overcome” by Lyndon B. Johnson are two speeches made confronting two of these issues. Douglass’s speech, delivered in 1852, condemns the institution of slavery and maintains that slaves are men and are therefore entitled to freedom. Johnson’s speech, on the other hand, was written in 1965 and discussed the civil rights movement. In it, he implored local governments to allow all American citizens, regardless of race, to vote. Despite the significant gap in time between these two addresses, both speakers use similar persuasive techniques, including ethos, pathos, and parallelism, to convince their audience that change needs to be implemented in America.
