Introduction:

            Audience Attention: With out women the reproduction of the world would stop. The human race would cease to exist, but what happens if the women were to scared to go out and possibly find their soul mate?  With the uprising of date rape drugs we are heading that way.

Ethos: With thousands of women being sexually assaulted a year and not even knowing what’s going on at the time. Date rape drugs are effecting our society and with them so easily being smuggled into the U.S it causes such a problem when the assaulted can’t even remember who did it.

Thesis: Instead of going out on dates and getting to know someone, some men just want to go out take what they think is theirs without the concern of the psychological and physical damages it can do to a women. Hundreds of perpetrators that use date rape drugs often get away with it. How could this be? Later on in the paper I will discuss how, why and how to prevent this kind of stuff from happening to you, your daughter or a loved one.

Working Thesis #2

5 questions about my topic

The problem with date rape drugs is that there are tons of  people mostly women who are sexually assulted by offenders. Women of all ages are effected by this problem im sure some men are but women are mainly targeted. The causes of this problem is a few things 1. even though it is illegal in the U.S, it is legal in 60 other countries. 2. the country closest to the U.S that it is legal in is Mexico, and with drugs being so easily smuggled across the boarder Rohypnol would be one of the easier drugs to smuggle. ihave not yet found anyone who has tried to prevent the smuggling problem, but there are tons of adds that say dont leave your drinks unattended, watch people make your drink and never go to a bar alone. The future if this problem is not solved could be bad. thousands of women being sexually assulted a year and if they perepatrators are not caught they will keep sricking and getting away with it. I would also say that women would be more scared to go out and have a good time because they would be worried if they were to get druged up they would have an unwanted pregnancy and that would lead to the whole for/against aboprtion, which that is another topic for another time.
