Argumentative Introductions
Sugar in Schools
Obesity among children is a growing concern in the United States. Could sugary snacks in school vending machines be provoking this epidemic? The global debate over junk food in schools has been a problem recently, and opposers to junk food say healthy foods should be substituted for sugary snacks in schools. Issues arise with this substitution, including the amount of profit the school earns, the health of the children, and freedom of choices. Children may be growing heavier, but schools should have the right to serve any food in the vending machines: be it junk food or healthy snacks.
Bullying
Suicide is bad enough alone, but death by bullying? That’s even worse. Bullying is the cause of a lot of depression and suicide in adolescents, and people are making efforts to stop it. People worldwide are petitioning to charge bullies as criminals in the justice system. Bullies deserve to be punished because they break laws, ruin lives, and punishment could be discouraging to other bullies. Punishing bullies as criminals is morally right, but only for serious offenses.
Outer Space Vacations
"Hey, Mom! Look out the window! It's Saturn!" The possibility of seeing a planet right outside your window is far-fetched, yet it is already in the making. The company Virgin Galactic is offering trips up into space for a very high cost. The main concerns for this type of adventure is the cost, health problems, and extreme forces of gravity. Trips up into space should be possible, but passengers must decide to take the risks for themselves.
