The topic I am researching is how greek life, parties, and alcohol play a part of rape culture on college campuses. Many of my sources focused on the same issues, and many of them concluded studies showing how Greek life contributes to this modern issue.

The changing of the legal drinking age from 18 to 21 resulted from the false politicization of the very serious and prevalent issue of teenage drunk driving by activist groups such as M.A.D.D.-Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Instead of trying to legislate morality, which is a lost cause, the focus should be put on attempting to create a society which breeds responsible drinking habits. Since there is no significant change developmentally from the age 18 to 21, those three years are, in essence, a state of unfounded prohibition. The drinking age should be changed to 18.

Hi Jennifer, I do think education about drinking is important on college campuses. The alcohol policy has good intentions. I think that it emphasizing personal responsibility is an excellent strategy. Mainly because as you said these are intended to being about “lifelong goal and values” (Nugent & Jones, pg. 290). The rate of alcohol abuse is so “widespread among college students, that 20% of students are considered heavy drinkers” (Nugent & Jones, pg. 290). Colleges must take steps to try to educate and help students drink responsibly.
Four out of five college students are drinking alcohol according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, yet it is only now coming to the attention of many people. Recently we see more and more news articles about college drinking. I’ve always known drinking alcohol is dangerous and that it is the cause for many accidents and deaths. However, I wasn’t aware that so many young people were drinking and putting themselves at risk like they are.

To properly protect the futures of teenagers, there needs to be a way to fully educate the teenagers and parents about the extreme dangers of ungerage drinking, such as public speaking or have it addressed in the news. It is very hard to decrease it when there are bigger problems that the United States are dealing with, parents are not aware that their kids are drinking, and drinking is seen as being cool. The news and media can explain the long lasting negative effects on health and how dangerous it is. Even though parents are not aware if their child is drinking or not, they should become educated on its dangers so that when they do start drinking, they will know that they should be careful and not push themselves too far. Hopefully, when the dangers of drinking on the body are addressed, they will see that drinking is not cool and it can negatively affect their future. Although these solutions do not solve every problems, parents still allow their kids to drink, and kids ignore the dangers since they think they can handle it, educating the public will be a positive way to start to solve the issue to this
The origin of alcohol consumption dates back to the post-war era where drinking was a part of most individual 's day to day life as there were not many other sources of entertainment (Johnson, 2015). Alcohol was produced at both high and low prices, therefore making it available to both segments of the society. This resulted in alcohol being a celebratory and cultural activity in the United Kingdom. Increasing consumption of alcohol has been a prominent concern to the UK government as over progressive increment in the rate of crime over the last few decades (Smith and Fox, 2009). Binge drinking is when an individual excessively consumes alcohol over a short period. Apprehending of binge drinking among different people may be obscure and ambiguous
The Stakeholder Salience Theory, created by Mitchell, Agle and Wood, are based upon the combination of the three relationship attributes to generate general types of stakeholders. These attributes include: Power; Legitimacy; Urgency. “Stakeholder salience” is defined as the degree to which managers give priority to competing stakeholder claims. Therefore if a stakeholder consist of all three attributes, he/she/it will be of most importance and will have more rights and privileges than a stakeholder that consists of only one of the three attributes. As seen in the picture on the right, you can differentiate between the different types of stakeholders, according to where they get placed given the attributes they consist of.
