In the article “Racing a Familiar in Adi’s Life", SukhairiAbdThani (2011) states that teenagers feels that racing gives them life. They are willing to use their money to change the look of their motorcycle. When teenagers start joiningthis activity, they feel that they gain lots of satisfication and benefits. However, they do not realize the effects of this illegal racing towards the teenagers in Malaysia. Illegal racing will lead to other social problems, all family members will get bad impact and make other road users in danger.
Firstly, the effect of illegal racing among teenagers in Malaysia is they will involve in other social problem. The percentage of social problems in Malaysia is increasing.

    Race

    James Baldwin once said, “I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also so much more than that. So are we all.” When the subject of race comes up, I feel like that quote is very meaningful. According to class lecture, race is an arbitrary social classification of clearly bounded categories based on skin color which corresponds to no biological reality. To be able to understand race today, a person should have a background on the history of race. According to the American Anthropological Association, by the 1600s, English colonists had established a system of indentured servitude that included both Europeans and Africans. But by the time of Bacon’s Rebellion the status of Africans began to change. Servants who once had an opportunity for freedom following servitude were relegated to a life of permanent slavery in the colonies. Thomas Jefferson was influential in the idea of race with a biological and social hierarchy. He stated that, “blacks, whether originally a distinct race, or made distinct by time and circumstances, are inferior to the whites in the endowments both of body and mind." Not only did people begin to base their opinions on Thomas Jefferson’s statement, but when Carolus Linnaeus developed a biological classification system and the German scientist Johann Blumenbach introduced a race-based classification of humans, the concept of race expanded and whites saw themselves as superior.…

    Drivers Ed Essay

    The age of the driver also plays a role in the number of alcohol related accidents. During 2003-2005 approximately 76 percent of drunk drivers in fatal crashes were under the age of 45. Teenagers are also involved in a lot of drinking and driving accidents since they are inexperienced at both driving and drinking. For drivers ages 16-19 the number of people who drank alcohol and were then involved in a fatal accident decreased by 15 percent between 1996-2001 and 2003-2005. This improvement was most likely because of the new graduated licensing that was put in effect in 1994. Although there was an improvement the crash involvement was still out of proportion with the number of licensed drivers, meaning that teenagers were driving illegally without a valid license.…

    Legal Young Drivers and the Law

    The major contributor to the somewhat hatred show towards young drivers is the accidents they cause. In these accidents they not only affect themselves but also innocent civilians or fellow drivers. An example of this can be found on May 18, 2012 when a young driver aged 22 (male) hit an elderly (80y/o) man with his Suzuki Swift (make of car), near Bunbury. The elderly man went on to die a short week later in hospital the coroner concluded his death was due to the injuries attained not by any existing illness or old age. Police describe this as a “cowardly, stupid and lunatic act”. The 22 year old male is awaiting his trial. But regardless of what the law concludes the family of the elderly man stuck will never get their husband, brother, father or grandad back. This act of ‘lunacy’ should be stopped before it occurs because the consequences are real and human lives are at stake. From this cowardly act and others simular society is unable to change the view they have on young drivers. In even some ways they are manipulated into believing by the actions of young drivers that they are hooligans.…

    Discrimination in my opinion does exist in the criminal justice system, especially when it comes to minorities. There are people who argue that discrimination don’t exist there is only disparity. Discrimination is when a person is judged by their race without reference to their behavior or qualifications. Disparity is when something is inequality or a difference. Being a minority my peers and I have encountered some discriminatory actions from Americans. Rather they believe it or not minorities are being judge on a daily bases. Even though white Americans are the majority African Americans make up a big population in prisons. I believe that it is because African Americans are not equal as white Americans. Things are not as easy for African Americans as if for white Americans. African Americans still don’t receive equal opportunity for them not to commit as much crimes. There is reason to why minorities are disproportionately overrepresented in the correctional system. Reason being there are more white people then minorities, race, and urban poverty.…

We can hear or read about social problems or even crime which done by a teenagers in very young age through news in television or newspaper. These social problems involve murder, theft, take drug, violence and crime. Many people believe that this is because parents spend more and more time at work and has less time to supervise their children. However, I do not believe this is true. The reasons of why teenagers involve in social problem not only parents’ responsible. Social ills not only because of parents but can be associated with progress that we achieved at present.
