Abstract
This paper argues that the play, "Only Drunks and Children Tell the Truth" by Hayden Taylor, though dealing with issues of racial affiliations, accomplishes its goals by depicting the personal transformation of one character--Janice. This character learns a little more about who she is and better understands how lost she has been through the course of the play.

From the Paper
"Hayden Taylor's play, "Only Drunks and Children Tell the Truth," presents an interesting perspective of what it means to be an American Indian in the modern world. Certainly it is a matter of cultural heritage, but it is also a matter of genetic heritage and, essentially, color. The character of Janice represents an individual who stands on the fringe of American Indian culture; although her physical appearance indicates her heritage to everyone she meets, she has spent almost her entire life completely cut-off from her people's culture. As a result, to the outside--white--world, Janice is just as Indian as the people that live on the Reserve. However, she finds that becoming a member of the Native- American community has more to do with one's way of looking at the world than with mere skin color. Fundamentally, Janice undergoes a personal metamorphosis from the..."

Abstract
The paper examines the issues of drunk driving as well as the impact law enforcement has had on its reduction. The paper argues that drunk driving is more of a social issue than a legal issue and that education must be combined with law enforcement to make a difference. The paper contends that the legal system has the ability to mandate treatment and perhaps save the drunk driver as well as those he would have encountered on the road.

From the Paper
"John's law is one of many examples when societal responsibility meets legislation and works together to reduce the incidence of driving while impaired. If America is ever going to reduce the fatalities and injuries caused by drunk driving it will have to realize that it is a social as well as a legal issue and combine educational programs with punitive actions to stop drivers from drinking and driving(Mejeur, 2003)."
"New Jersey as well as eight other states have enacted laws that allow them to hold drunk drivers until their blood alcohol levels are below the state's legal limit. While this helps prevent an immediate accident from occurring the root of the problem is still there and should be handled from a societal standpoint."

"The cost structure for The Drunk Driver, llc. will consist of some common components such as payroll, utilities, and insurance. Other costs will include upkeep of the trolleys, advertising materials, and technology services. The common components are a part of any business with an office and employees. The other costs will be unique to The Drunk Driver and prompt further detail.
"Keeping the trolleys running takes regular maintenance like oil changes, brakes, and new tires. Other upkeep issues include engine problems, damage to the inside or outside of the trolley, and cleaning the inside of the trolley nightly."

Abstract
This paper briefly examines the causes and the consequences of drunk driving. Statistics provided by the National Commission Against Drunk Driving are used.

Abstract
A healthy balance between the different arguments of pathos, ethos and logos (emotion, value, character, and facts & logic) are found in this essay which which deals with the dangers of drunk driving. Included are interviews with those who have personally been affected by drunk driving, as well as personal anecdotes, and significant facts and statistics. All sections of the paper are strategically organized in order to better convey the message to the reader.

From the Paper
"It was the first day of March. It was the type of day where the chill and dampness seemed to penetrate your soul. I silently watched as Jeremy's mother laid a blood red colored rose on the marble stone. Wiping a tear from the corner of her eye, she ran a hand across the letters of his name that adorn the cold gravestone. Jeremy Taylor (1982 - 2000). She said a silent prayer and turned towards the car. She glanced back once more before walking away. Today Jeremy would've been eighteen. He would've been able to vote or play the lottery if he wanted to. In a couple months he would've graduated " top ten in his class! He would've walked across the stage, gotten his diploma, and tossed his cap high into the air with all his friends. He would've made his plans to leave for college. He had already been accepted into an Ivy League school. How desperately he wanted to become a lawyer. His mom always said she could tell he would make a great lawyer by the way he argued with his sister".But all that changed within a moment. His life was ended at the hands of a drunk driver as he made his way home from school one fateful February afternoon. No longer would they see his smiling face. No longer would they laugh at the childish burping contests he had, as boys do. No longer would they hear the crowd cheer his name as he scored the winning touchdown or the sound of his voice as he excitedly told of his plans to become the best lawyer they had ever seen. All of that was gone now, because someone chose to drink and drive. Watching my friend's burial was one of the most emotional experiences I can recall. I think of how scared he must have been in his final moments. I wonder what he was thinking as he lay there dying. It was an eerie feeling to know that the casket could not even be opened during the service because of how horrific were the injuries that he had sustained. Now whenever "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton comes on the radio, I think of him. I will never get the chance to say goodbye or to tell him all the things I wanted him to know. I can only hope he knows how much he was loved and will be missed. Rest in peace my angel."

Abstract
For each article, the writer provides an explanation of why the study was conducted and the reasons behind it, as well as an explanation of what and how the results were measured. The various hypotheses that the researchers addressed are mentioned as well as the dependent and independent variables. Any specific intervening variables that may have caused difficulty with the study are also addressed. The conclusions of these four articles are summarized, and personal opinions and perspectives on the value of the research and the methods used will be interjected at that time. This paper examines the worthiness of studies that have been done on drunk driving and tries to determine where weaknesses lie so that further studies can be conducted that may fill in the gaps that present research has left. In order to understand what research is still needed, the writer states that it is important that past research be brought to light. In this way, the potential flaws in past research can be noted so that those who intend to perform these same types of studies in the future will not consistently make the mistakes that have been made in past studies. This will keep research into drunk driving concerns moving forward.

From the Paper
"This article deals with the advertising for beer and cigarettes and how it influences adolescent behavior. This study was conducted in order to determine whether product warnings about dangerous substances such as alcohol and tobacco affect the rates at which adolescents use these products. It correlates with the drunk driving issue because many adolescents who heed product warnings will be less likely to drink and then get behind the wheel of a car, while adolescents who see product warnings as unimportant will be more likely to drink and then drive, largely because they assume that accidents only happen to others (Krugman, et.al, 1998). In order to determine just how important adolescents see product letting us on alcohol and tobacco, researchers studied their feelings and opinions about these things as well as their behavior. For this particular study, researchers used eye tracking methods to measure how adolescents looked at print advertisements. By doing this, researchers were attempting to measure whether there was a correlation between the length of time that an adolescent looked at a print ad and the ability to remember the warning message that was presented there (Krugman, et.al, 1998)."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the concept of personal responsiblity as it relates to drunk driving. The paper explains that personal responsibility is a relatively simple concept that applies to the choices that the individual makes and the personal connection that this individual chooses to acknowledge in terms of a particular outcome. Applying this concept is at times difficult, however. Even when a situation seems clear-cut, such as the responsibility held by a host when a guest has left the host's home, can be argued from several different levels of responsibility. In this case, however, it is fairly clear that the host had a responsibility to his or her guest and failed to meet that personal responsibility.

Abstract
This paper provides a review of the history of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and its mission, as well as the instrumental methods, techniques, and policies used by the organization. It discusses its lobbying techniques and analyzes the effectiveness of the MADD approach. It looks at how, while the debate continues about the appropriateness of MADD's methods, the fact remains that, since the organization was formed, alcohol-related traffic fatalities have declined 43 percent.

From the Paper
"By 1990, MADD had grown to 407 chapters, 53 Community Action Teams (CAT) and 32 state offices with affiliates in Canada, England, New Zealand and Australia. The result of the grassroots organizational approach was impressive. Shortly after the group's formation, a Gallup survey showed that Americans cited drunk driving as the most important problem on the nation's highways. Further, in 1993, another Gallup poll indicated that the public had become less tolerant of drunk drivers and more supportive of stiffer penalties. At the beginning of the 21st century, MADD had more than 600 chapters and CATs in all 50 states with affiliates in Guam, Canada and Puerto Rico (Really MADD: Looking Back at 20 Years:2003:3)."
