Summary Of A Red Light For Scofflaws By Frank Trippett

Teenagers are often compared to others, either through academics or athletics, and some end up rebelling against their parents. Teenagers tend to act, dress, speak, and do everything else differently around different groups of people, especially family members and parents. Teenagers are also pushed towards music, which creates an escape

Frank Trippett writes about how everybody breaks minor laws on a day-to-day basis. He says that these people are a major threat to our social order just as much as major criminals are. I agree with Frank Trippett's analysis on Americans breaking the law, written in "A Red Light for Scofflaws." Trippett is correct when he suggests that more and more Americans are breaking laws every day, because I see people breaking many laws on a daily basis. Everywhere I go, people around me are breaking the laws like running red lights and speeding and breaking other laws that they do not want to follow. I do believe that ordinary law-abiding citizens are breaking more and more laws, somewhat flirting with the concept of rebellion. I disagree however with

In modern times, numerous teenagers are eager to be adults. They glorify the idea of

“Millions of Americans who would never think of themselves as lawbreakers, let alone criminals, are taking increasing liberties with all sorts of ‘minor’ laws that are nonetheless designed to protect and nourish society”(Trippett). Frank Trippett in his excerpt, “A Red Light for Scofflaws” argues that many people each day are breaking minor laws but do not think much about it because it does not seem like a big deal. The author supports his claim by stating that citizens believe that if breaking the small law does not harm anything, than it should not be a huge dispense. He continues by revealing that people continue to break the law because they are not getting caught and it does not affect the society around them. The author’s purpose is

Many people don’t even think about how many laws they are breaking on a daily basis. This short excerpt taken from “A Red Light for Scofflaws” ,written by Frank Trippett, draws attention to the fact the people tend to break minor laws without any thought or care to their acts. He begins by explaining that laws like the tax code violations and littering broke frequently. Trippet goes claims that people don’t care about laws like these because are no real consequences for their actions. The author argues that more citizens should obeys minors order to get people to realize that breaking these laws could result in misfortune. The author uses a informative and cautionary tone to scofflaws everywhere.

Teens in this generation tend to only view one side of any type of argument. Rumors are a huge impact during this generation, us, teenagers hear so many rumors that are spread within the school that we spread them ourselves without listening to discover if it's true or not. For example, some High Schoolers may hear that a girl in their grade is pregnant, they believe it, eventually telling everyone else instead of asking her for the truth. Although, this example and the act read in class, Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose, are different but they are also alike. The author tells us that just because you have one side of an argument doesn't mean you can't gather more information to see whether or not something can be right or wrong. In which some cases, people are too lazy to identify details in any situation.

Teenagers today do that as well. It is very easy to get caught up in labels when you are a teenager. Especially with today's dependence on social media, it is easier than ever to form opinions about your peers. Whether it is what they tweet, what the look like or what they do on the weekends. This subconscious judgment of other people based off of the little knowledge you have of them, can stop you from wanting to build a friendship.

People do not think about the overall consequences of throwing things everywhere and anywhere that they please. Author Frank Trippett, in his excerpt from,”A Red Light for Scofflaws,” explains how all around us are minor criminals. That people only believe that hard crimes such as murder, stealing, or domestic violence cases are serious. When in fact the real problems are littering, speeding, and noise pollution. These things affect the planet in more ways than we know. The author sets a concerned tone for “minor” lawbreakers all over the planet.

The reason teenager has a common rebel to thing is because we are still young people. Also, we still are learning about how important authority is. Teens look at their surround and older people are rebel showing other young people that it’s okay to be against authority. They also show youth that it Okays to grow up and be like them. Teens are like sponge; we soak in everything that we watch every day and copy it because we think it’s okay to be like our role models.

Laws were put into our society to protect each individual and the people is our society, and it allows everyone to live in a nice calm society. In the article Frank Trippett claims that ordinary Americans are becoming lawbreaker and they would never think of themselves as lawbreakers. He support his argument by listing were Americans intend to break the laws that was once established. The author creates a critical tone for Americans who are breaking the laws in the United States. Tippett's argument should be valid because most Americans are speeding in the freeway, littering trash in public, and some are polluting our society. And they still don't feel any guilt in any shape or form.

Teenagers decided to form and voice their own political, social, and economic opinions because they did not appreciate the way adults spoke for them and made decisions without even asking them what they thought. They had to become more aware and knowledgeable on their own because adults shielded them from the world. They were only exposed to these issues through music and

Teenagers are more than capable of achieving great tasks in the future as well as causing great destruction with every skill stapled in their mind as they grow. Good and evil will determine the effects of which path a young mind its taught so that’s why parents must educated well with good intensions for a better future.

Teenagers have this mindset where they think whatever they say won’t hurt anybody’s feelings.
