Answer 1

Try something like this for your thesis: Lives are in danger because of those who are intoxicated.

Intro paragraph: Start with a synopsis or something to catch the reader's attention.

Body paragraph ideas:
- Why are people becoming intoxicated?
- How are people's lives in danger?
- How can this be stopped?
- What laws are out there about drinking?
- How many people die every year because of drinking (both victims and crime-committers)?

Conclusion: End it with a shocking end to the synopsis in the introduction in order to leave the reader feeling the need to help stop the crisis.

Answer 2

A common misconception is that drugs and alcohol MAKE people do bad things. It's not true. They may lower a person's inhibitions. Someone who might think about rape, but would never actually do it when sober, might decide to go through with it while intoxicated. But they already had issues.
For most people, alcohol will not prompt them to do anything harmful to anyone else. But it does happen.

The other side of the coin is that statistics about this sort of thing are produced backwards. A driver, going too fast for conditions, loses control and hits another car, killing the other driver, just happens to have been drinking, therefore is a drunk driver? Well, no, just stupid. A rapist, intending to go out a look for a victim, chooses to use some cocaine beforehand for the rush, then rapes. Cocaine didn't cause the rape, the guy's a rapist, that just happens to be a drug user.

A perfect example is the drug war. The government claims that using marijuana leads to using stronger drugs. But they achieved those ties backwards. They interviewed heroin addicts and found that a majority of them previously used marijuana, and drew a conclusion.

Shame on the drunk driver, that is preventable. If you're too intoxicated to drive you should not be driving, period. But that's not alcohol's fault. And the "bad" person that would commit a crime may rethink it and choose not to if they were sober, or go through with it when intoxicated, is not the fault of alcohol either. To say that "people commit crimes because of alcohol" would be incorrect.

You never hear about alcohol being the savior. A person, bent out shape from the day's stress, boss is yelling at work, missed the train, hassled by security at the airport, misses the plane, gets on the next one, which they then find is being delayed, car gets towed, get home and the TV is broken, spouse is nagging, and just before they explode and try to kill the next person that talks to them, they have a couple gin and tonic and chill out a little, enough to let that person live one more day.

Answer 3

Go write a great paper!

When an individual is intoxicated their judgment and reactions suffer tremendously. If they are driving and something unexpected happens they can react properly. But being drunk didn't cause the crime. When an individual gets drunk and than decides to drive they made the choice.

I don't know if the law is still like this in Texas but a young man gravely injured a cab driver in the course of an armed robbery. The jury heard the case and decided the punishment. The judge instructed them the law says even though this man claims he was drunk he is to be treated Like he's sober.

Thesis: People must always be held accountable for their behavior. Good deeds should be rewarded and bad deeds must be punished. When an individual commits a serious crime and deprives an individual of their life or forces them into submission than if caught they must be legally punished

Answer 4

I really think that you should NOT excuse their behavior, simply saying "oh! i`d had a bit too much to drink" is not an excuse. I am 36 years old and I have (obviously) been drunk on a number of occasions, but I have not gotten any criminal record and I have never raped anyone or anything like that. Even when people have too much to drink they still have some self control and so I don't believe that it should be seen as any less of a crime if you brake the law while drunk. Also controlling how much you drink is a good plan too, because drinking too much is bad for you in many ways, it costs a lot, it`s bad for your health, it gives some people bad hangovers, it can cause people to do things that they regret. The plus sides of drinking are far less than the negative effects. I also know people who are addicted to alcohol and it ruins their life.

Answer 5

A thesis is a statement of fact that you will follow up with supporting logic... Therefore, consider your answers in order to frame your question! Don't bite off too big of a piece, because you won't be able to properly support it with logic... Just a nibble will do... Something like, well, this...
Just as it is said that wealth unmasks the true character of a person, it should also be said that inhibitions dissappear during alcoholic intoxication.
(Then you can draw parallels between Britney Spears' wealth and her alcoholism!)
fun!
(P.S. if this is for college, remember to "eat the rich"... Your Socialist professors love that!

Answer 6

Overconsumption of alcohol causes many crimes and accidents to occur. This affects millions of people every year, whether they are the perpetrators or the victims. The issue of drunk driving and other alcohol - related incidents is too large to be ignored.

Answer 7

My English teacher has a formula she always uses to write her thesis. (subject)+(issue); order of development.

for this subject is intoxication
the issue is effect of intoxication
the order of development
how it physically and mentally affects them
how it affects their community
how it affect their loved ones
i will let you play with the wording remember, that this is your writing and reflects how you feel and what you find.
