    Theories help explain drunk driving

    Driving while intoxicated persists to be a major problem amongst teenage drivers. Although there are many precautions taken in order to prevent this type of activity, whether by the school, media or parents’, teens proceed to place themselves into these very high risk situations. These persistent behaviors drive us to look further into why teens partake in this type of activity or better yet what and who is influencing this age group. As asked by the principal I will attempt to explain this behavior using several theories of Human Development, including the theory of operant conditioning, the social learning theory and Erikson’s psychosocial theory.…

    The Importance Of Drunk Driving

    The question is, are they active? What else is the government doing to stop this escalating problem? According to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) “325 other distracted driving victims who have died since 2010; the number of people these irresponsible drivers have had a profound and devastating impact on is in the thousands” States OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair. The youngest age group, those aged 16 to 19, had an impaired driving rate per 100,000 licensed drivers slightly lower than that for 25- to 34-year-olds and about 40% lower than the rate for 20- to 24-year-olds. Why is there such a heavy focus on youth? According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) it’s because the youth are dramatically over-represented in impaired driving crashes. In 2010, 16 – 25 year olds' made up only 13.6 % of the population, but accounted for 33.4% of all alcohol-related crash deaths. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among 16-25 year olds, and alcohol or drugs are a factor in 55% of those crashes. What are the reactions and responses about the crystal clear fact? How is the government going to deal with this ongoing problem? Does the government care about its citizens? Federal, provincial, and municipal governments should work together and bring awareness about the impaired driving in a serious effective…
