Taking a Stand

Make a list of at least five opinions you hold concerning the elderly. For example: they should receive free medical benefits.

1 they should receive free health care/benefits
2 they should receive discounts on prescription drugs
3 they should be physically fit
4 they should be treated respectfully
5 they should be living in a good place

    Choose one of the opinions from above, that you strongly believe. Make a list of reasons why you support it. Next, list as many reasons as you can why someone might not support it. Use the ideas in your lists to develop a paragraph or two. Present evidence to support your position, and at the same time, try to refute the opposing arguments.

I strongly believe that the elderly should be physically fit. It would prevent many deaths or injuries related to not being physically fit. It would also aid them in their old age to be able to do things they otherwise couldn't if they weren't fit enough. And a two-hundred pound grandma of pure muscle would be pretty intimidating.

  1. Ok so how are you going to get there? Are you pushing yourself to be physically fit? The time is now my friend, tomorrow never comes.
