Argument: Coffee Stands in School

Assertion/Claim: Schools should have coffee stands for the students.

(Of course with the younger students, parents would have to give permission for thier children to consume the coffee.)

Evidence

Increase your brain power with coffee- a natural and effective stimulant.

In the Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics by Dr. J Murdoch Ritchieh, he reports... On thepositive side, caffeine produces "a more rapid and clearer flow of thought," and allays"drowsiness and fatigue. After taking caffiene one is capable of greater sustained intellectual and a more perfect association of ideas. There is also a keener appreciation of sensory stimuli, and motor activity is increased; typists, for example, work faster with fewer errors."

The Effects of Caffeine on the Brain

Caffeine is a stimulant, meaning its accelerates physiological activity. Specifically, it speeds up the action of your brain and makes you more alert. It does this by binding to adenosine receptors in the brain. Normally, the chemical adenosine binds to these, causing drowsiness by slowing down nerve cell activity. Caffeine gets in the way of the chemical adenosine.

They Say; I Say: They say caffeine is not allowed in schools.... I say that the schools can use decaf coffee.

Paragraph:

To my knowledge, caffeine would cause a significant inrease in students participation in school activities and school work. Caffeine is a brain stimulant that speeds up the action of your brain and makes you more alert thus students would be more awake, not fall asleep in class, and think more clearly and better.

Inductive/ Deductive Thinking Statement

The facts are that coffee does increase brain activity.
