Is it 18 o'clock? 21 points? Can I participate in war before renting a car? Is it life to judge whether a youth is cruel? Why are our laws and regulations on this issue so contradictory and how will they affect you?
As the Supreme Court considered the issue of whether children should be sentenced to life sentence not to accompany murder, Catherine Rampell says, "How old is that?"
Generally, the answer is 18 years - the age that the United States and other countries think young people are responsible for their behavior. However, there are numerous deviations in this benchmark, whether it is a world (eg, ring, American) or the United States.
The dawn of American adults is everywhere to attract drinking, driving, battle in the military, compulsory education, appreciation of R rating movies, consent to gender, marriage, abortion, and even financial responsibility.
Student: Please tell me what you think about this problem. Where do you draw a route to distinguish between childhood and childhood? why? Do you think that you can build the era as the limits of every era, from drinking to car combat, R class movie watching? why?

Legal drinking age must be reduced to 18 years old. At the age of 18, the person is legally considered an adult and should be able to drink alcohol. By lowering the age of drinking, an 18-year-old child can not only acquire adequate rights and awareness for adults, but also invalid legislation just to create more effective tapes. At the age of 18, American citizens can vote for the elections, protect their country, and perhaps die, and make decisions about their lives and bodies. If I want to vote for the Democratic Party, I can do so. If I want ink of my body, I can do it. If I want to fill my stomach with smoke, I can do the same. However, trying wine with some friends is overly overkill to some extent. There is no reason for an 18-year old adult to be deprived of the right to participate in alcohol. At the age of 18, I believe that young people are big enough to make their own decisions about alcohol.
When will a person become an adult? There are many ways to answer this question. In the United States you are legally considered an 18 year old adult. However, other definitions in adulthood vary widely; for example, in sociology, when a person becomes independent, chooses a career, marries, starts a family, it is sometimes considered an adult. The age at which we achieve these milestones changes from person to person, from culture to culture. For example, in the country of Malawi in Africa, 15-year-old Njemile got married at the age of 14 and bore her first child at the age of 15. In her culture she is regarded as an adult. Malawi children are responsible for adults, such as marriage or early work until 10 years of age (eg, carrying water, raising babies, creating a workplace). In contrast, independence of Western culture becomes increasingly long, effectively delaying the lives of adults.
