Week 10
10) Where to Invade Next? An Argument. [Categories: Where to Invade Next, Research Paper]: Please complete the following:
This blog seems to be my favorite blog of the year, in this blog I will be arguing three topics that Michael Moore "stole" from other countries in the documentary Where to Invade Next, I'll create a research question on my desired topic and write a brief argument that responds to the research questions. if you haven't watched Where to Invade Next, you can read my summary Blog #9 that explains Michael Moore's ideas. Research question #1 Topic: Legalization of all drugs in America Research Question: Should America legalize the use of all drugs? Argument: This question to me should get a simple no, and that should justify question #1, but for my grades sake I'll go a little more into detail. The number of opioid deaths in America have increased more than 200% from 2000-2014 in America (avg of 91 deaths a day), while their are annually 64,000 drug overdosed deaths a year. The drug crisis in America is so bad that The president had to declare a national public health emergency, in order to combat to lethal addiction. Legalizing the spread of heroin and other drugs will lead to many more American's dying. if you care to look at a few charts about drugs, and drug related deaths please visit this website. Research question #2 Topic: Required vacation time Research Question: Should American companies be forced to give American workers paid vacation? Argument: I find it disgusting that American's companies are not required to give American workers at least a week of paid vacation. This is one of the things that American's should steal from Italy and almost the rest of the world. I believe that getting paid vacation should be absolutely mandatory. Vacation gives workers something to look forward to. I never realized how I take my week of paid vacation for granted, even if it is just a lousy week. Research question #3 Topic: Death sentence and prison time Research Question: Should America abolish the death sentence and add a maximum of 21 year prison sentence regardless of the crime? Argument: I do not believe this was one of the greatest ideas, that Michael Moore decided to bring to America. I find it ridiculous that the person who shot up the island of kids participating in a summer camp, will receive a maximum of 21 years in imprisonment. I believe that an individual who decides to commit these kind of terrible actions do not have a place on this Earth, after a fair trail.
