AA

Policies & Fear: Topic Proposal

Group name: AA
Group members: James Yang, Van Ho, Baldemar Hernandez

1. What is the problem that you will be trying to solve? Please, describe it in detail.
Underage drinking within and around the college community specifically. The problem exists because many drink without permission and without control and awareness, causing high levels of drinking and driving and other harmful consequences, including bodily injuries and internal effects.

2. Why is it a problem that cannot wait? What is its significance or urgency?
People are dying needlessly and they can be prevented. Many concerned parents and friends are unaware of certain events and may need help to prevent certain disasters concerning important people. Drinking and driving is one of the leading cause of death in America, and spans back to people in high school.

3. Please present your solution, describing it as realistically as possible.
Awareness programs to inform the general public on the adverse effects of drinking, stricter policies concerning alcohol selling and consumption, programs outside of the AA that help cope with the need and want to drink under-aged that allow students to get help without feeling the uneasiness and embarrassment of the AA

4. Where would you look for primary research for this paper?
Internet for the majority of the secondary resources and library for the majority of the primary resources, also, newspaper articles may help when talking about more local incidents and problems with our issue and what is being done to correct/prevent these.
