Drinking and Driving
In society drinking and driving has become a very serious issue. Even though there is no easy or simple solution, there is still ways to teach kids the dangers and persuade them not to drink and drive.
The trouble with alcohol is that most people do not truly know what it is and according to Webster’s new world dictionary, “Alcohol is a strong smelling liquid that has no color, evaporates quickly, and burns with hot flame. It is produced by fermenting things, such as grain or fruit”(18). Another way of looking at it is that alcohol is a drug that it slows down vital functions and results in slurred speech, unsteady movement, disturbed perception and inability to react quickly. It can change your mood and behavior, and make it harder to think clearly and move with coordination (drugfreeworld).

Drinking while going through adolescence can lead to lifelong damage in brain function, particularly as it relates to memory, motor skills (ability to move) and coordination. According to webster’s new world dictionary (10) statistics show that people who begin drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence than those who begin drinking at age 21.

Socialism
<span>Economic and political structure like socialism and communism promote equality which aim to eliminate social classes but, these two are quite different. According to Karl Marx, socialism is a response to capitalism while communism is a result of the Russian Revolution. Socialism was proposed by economists as a theoretical ideal but was neither put into action nor to practice and communism in 1900s became the dominant economic system. In actual sense, communism is a certain form of socialism which is practiced in several modern democracies in Western Europe today. Socialism permits private ownership of property or businesses, but communism has the government take control in all property.
