Adolescents


This week, you have learned about the decline in teen labor force participation, its causes and the the about the pros and cons regarding whether adolescents should work. Utilizing all the information you have gained from the videos and articles you have read this week, please prepare to take a side on whether Adolescents Should Work?

In this discussion forum, you should prepare an initial post that describes whether you think adolescents should be working. You should prepare your post just as you would in a debate – that means that you need to have good reasons for why you have taken the position you have. You should make sure to cite any articles/videos (in short form citation – i.e. Name of Article/Video) you are using to support your position. As with a typical debate you should also anticipate the other side’s position and provide an anticipatory rebuttal. Note: It is ok to include personal anecdotes to help support your argument but you need to mostly also utilize the materials from the articles/videos to support your position.
