Consider the following argument: There are many arguments for the elimination or modification of current U. S. drug laws, but one of the most persuasive involves what negative effects drug laws are having on society in comparison with the effects of the drugs themselves. In the past ten years, most forms of drug use have dropped significantly, especially among teens. Despite this, non-violent drug offenders accounted for 21.1 percent of the federal prison population. First time drug offenders serve, on average, a sentence three months longer than kidnappers, nine months longer than burglars, and thirty-three months longer than sex abusers. In 1992, the average cost of keeping an inmate in either state or federal prison was about $20,000 per prisoner per year. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with 455 prisoners per 100,000 population. It is maintaining these prisoners at great expense in an environment where they are unlikely to develop a socially constructive attitude. Perhaps it is time that we reconsider our attitudes toward those who choose to use drugs; failure to do so may cost society even more than it already has. Determine whether or not the argument uses any deceptive statistics. Give your opinion on whether or not the argument has persuaded you. Explain why or why not. Determine the primary ways in which statistics or authority are used in your current position in developing persuasive arguments, and provide examples of such use.

Sample Essay Persuasive Conclusion

Sports in school has been a topic discussed by all sides over the years. Many may suggest that sports keep students in learning, that sports force students who want to play to be academically involved. This is sometimes the case. But yet again it sends the wrong message: learning is merely a vehicle to playing. Is that what education is about? And the requirements to play are always so pathetic anyway. Pass most of your classes. Is that all we expect of our youth? No, the time-honored tradition of sport and school is no longer viable. Schools in America have fallen too far behind to be able to sustain any level of success while hiring teachers who are either bogged down by coaching, or simply incapable of teaching while being highly capable of coaching. The priorities of schools must be to teach students skills, ones that...

Big State U charges in-state and outstate students different tuition rates. Instate students pay $2000 a term, and respond according to the following demand equation: QI = 25,000 - 4TI where QI = in-state student enrollment and TI = instate tuition. Outstate students pay $4500 a term, and their demand is: QO = 45,000 â 7TO where QO = outstate enrollment and TO = outstate tuition.

a. Calculate the number of each type of student that will enroll, and the total enrollment at Big State. Calculate price elasticity for each type of student.

b. Assume that marginal cost for students is $3500. Is Big State charging an optimal tuition rate for in-state students? Explain.

c. Assume that the school wishes to institute these tuition changes. What might be the response of students? State taxpayers?
