Outline MWP 2: Don’t Drink and Drive

            Introduction:  Every day when I get behind the wheel of my truck, I wonder what that “other guy” will be doing. My strategy is to be safe and be on the lookout for that “other guy”. Tragically, each day someone will lose their life or be injured in a traffic accident. Most often it will involve someone who is drunk or intoxicated. Drinking and Driving is not just a social problem it involves all of us. The time to act is now before there is another drunken driving casualty. We must reach out and unite to stop these people before they get behind the wheel of their vehicle.

Definition: In this paper I’ll use the term (BAC) which means blood alcohol content. MADD Mothers Against Drunk Drivers or sobriety checkpoint which is where the police have a random stopping place for vehicles and check to see if they have been drinking. If they have been then they will be arrested and taken to jail. These are all the terms all be using as definitions plus etc.

Next will be my review of literature:   80% they say and 20% I say. My scholarly sources will be an article about 1) Mothers Against Drunk Drivers 2) Binge drinking  among college students 3) The effectiveness of designated driver programs 4) an article about the anti-drunk driver campaign: a covert war against drinking 5) a critical analysis of “ moderation” advertising sponsored by the beer industry: are “responsible drinking” commercials done responsibly?

Argument/analysis:    80% I say, and 20% they say.

Conclusion: In this section I will explain why it so dangerous to drink and drive and a complete overview of what I’ve learned through my research.
