The 28th Amendment

If I were to be able to ratify a new amendment I would have it so that the drinking age would be lowered to 18. I feel as if you can be called in a draft, tried as an adult, vote for the presidential election, work and live on your own, you should be able to drink a beer. Some people may say that 18 is too immature to be able to drink, but I know plenty of immature people who are 21 and up that abuse alcohol much more than a teenager would. The 28th Amendment would be read as:


Any person that resides in the United States of America or in the District of Columbia shall be able to consume alcohol on the date that marks his or hers turning 18 years of age.

Two Amendments

The 23^rd Amendment

• Extends the right to vote in the presidential election to citizens who live in the District of Columbia, treating them as if they were a state.
• The purpose of this Amendment is to give every person that resides in the country the right to vote, not based on race or gender, but mostly on location
• The amendment proposed by the 86^th Congress on June 16, 1960 and ratified by the states on March 29, 1961. Before the amendment was ratified the people residing in the District of Columbia were not able to vote
• Today it means that people living in the District of Columbia can vote
• There are none

The 25^th Amendment

• Deals with succession of Presidency and establishes procedure both for filling an open spot in the office of the Vice President, as well as dealing with Presidential disabilities
• This amendment was made to find a solution to the loss of a president or vice president and who will step up and fill the vacant space
• This means they have another man or women next in line to succeed the president or vice president in case something happens to them
• There are none

Stimulus

Unconditioned Stimulus - Pretty actress or the look of importance from all the hands helping her

Conditioned Stimulus - Milk

Unconditioned Response - Happiness or excitement to the pretty woman and the look of importance

Conditioned Response - Happiness or excitement to the milk

The Time I Taught Something

Well when I first came to Langford in 8th grade the kids here had some really foul language and words that I didn't even know the meaning to. So I figured that if these guys weren't going to learn to talk nice from their parents or teachers, I would have to teach them. So that's what I did, I taught them that they can't always talk like that because that won't get you far in life. Whether it's in your career, relationships, or everyday life, you can't always talk using cuss words and nasty phrases.
