Is political correctness a major problem at American colleges and universities?
Article Abstract:
The co-author of The Diversity Myth says there is a growing coalition of people who are tired of the intolerance shown through political correctness. On college campuses, leftists are accused of displaying intolerance toward conservatives. The author of the Myth of Political Correctness, however, denies the existence of a political correctness movement, saying that intolerance is not widespread enough to affect academic freedom and that Intolerance is also directed at liberals by conservatives.

An age-old problem
Article Abstract:
Underage drinking is a centuries-old problem rooted in the unique conditions found in adolescence and the reactions of parents and their teenage children to these conditions. Drinking among teenagers has been on the rise since the 1950s, mostly as a means for the youth to manifest their rebeliousness. The role of parents in their teenage children's lives and their views on alcohol consumption are also paramount factors that affect underage drinking.

Is aggressive driving a major safety problem?
Article Abstract:
A survey by the American Automobile Association (AAA) found that many citizens consider aggressive driving a primary safety issue. Those in agreement call for greater police patrol of problem areas, driver education, and stricter penalties for traffic violations. Others claim that the aggressive driving problem has been exagerrated and believe the drunken driving remains the number one safety issue affecting American highways and roads.
