OP ED ideas - Danny McCracken

Argument: There should be no “quiet areas” in the library.
Reason: Quiet areas restrict the learning of students.
Claims: - All areas should be open for group study/verbal communication when necessary.
- Being “quiet” or keeping the volume down in a library should go without saying.
Assumption: Having no quiet areas will promote a better learning atmosphere by maximizing
the option of group study/verbal communication in all areas of the library;
also that students will keep the volume down and not get out of control.

Argument: There should be no speed limits on certain sections of I-15 and other highways.
Reason: Speed limits on certain sections of the highway promote a driving atmosphere in which
drivers become less alert and more easily distracted.
Claim: -The left lane will then become a “true passing lane” and the right lane will be for those
who prefer to drive slower.
-Drivers will be forced to pay more attention on their driving and develop their driving
skills.
Assumption: Having no speed limits on certain sections of I-15 and other highways will lead to
more attentive, skilled drivers who watch the road and their surroundings; this will
also lead to less accidents on those sections of highway.

Argument: The government should not tax or charge any fees whatsoever on student’s loans or
grants.
Reason: Students got the loan or grant in the first place because they were in obvious financial
need.
Claim: -There are enough taxes already.
-The majority of students are struggling financially.
Assumption: The students need the money more than the government.
