Argumentative Quick Write

Prompt: ​Choose an image that represents your topic. Then create a caption for your image that uses one or more of your sources to explain to your
reader the background, historical implications, or implications on today’s society.

Example:

People in Chicago have different opinions on working at a young age. Lowering the age for a person to work should happen. For one “​not all can
or want to pay for them. When teens take on a part time job, they are better able to contribute to the purchase of these fun teen expenses
or completely fund them for themselves.” This image shows that the lower your age is when working (part time) the salary income is low
possibly meaning that those who do work young are probably less to care for. Others may believe that lowering the age for working is not a
good thing. Some will say this because “​Although working only a few hours a week seems to have little effect on teens and their school
work, research shows that when the hours creep up to over 20 hours a week, they are more likely to be absent from school and will
have grades that are substantially lower than peers.” Overall I think that lowering the age for working will be beneficial.
