I think your second idea is a good one, about educating young drivers. Don't worry about a thesis statement until you have done the research and written the body of your paper, and your conclusion. THEN write the introduction with a thesis statement.
Your research should include statistics about traffic deaths attributable to alcohol consumption among teens and young adults (up to age 25?). It should also include research results about how young people tend to use poor judgement about taking risks (especially young men). Such research is out there. You can "google" all of it. Read lots and be able to cite several sources.
It's a good topic, and you can do it well, I'm sure!
Working on a research paper and I decided my topic is drinking and driving. I need to go deeper since my prof doesn't just want us to simply "tell her stuff" as in it can't be a list. So I'm thinking of either talking about deeper issues like
Punishment should be increased for those who drink and drive ?
Young people need to be more educated about the concesquences of drinking and driving as this is a major cause of deaths?
So basically can anyone think of deeper topics with me? Brainstorm? Give me advice or how to expand those topics into a good narrow thesis?
