Exercise B.1

Read the following paragraph and fill out the concept map that follows:

       There are many problems with implementing a teen curfew in our town.  First of all, not all teens are criminals, but if we are treated as criminals, we will begin to believe we are.  In addition, many teens have busy lives; the curfew will interfere with our lives.  I, for example, work at a movie theater on the weekends and do not get out of work until after midnight.  Finally, the law doesn’t even make sense because statistics show that teen crime occurs most frequently in the afternoons between 3:00 and 5:00 pm, not in the late evening.  In conclusion, the use of curfews is not only senseless, but it also treats teens as second-class citizens, without the respect and support that we need.  It is respect and support that will keep us off the street, no curfews.
