“Gettysburg Address”

No American school child gets to high school without encountering Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address" in at least a partial way.  Lincoln delivered this short speech, and American Rhetoric provides us multiple versions of the speech (text and audio links) for our review.  You will listen to three actor versions:

Jeff Daniels
Colin Powell
Sam Waterston
In doing so, you will select one interpretation as the significant one for you as a listener and explain why it is the superior effort.

MY TOPIC SHOULD BE WRITTEN ON Teen drug and/or alcohol abuse**** DO NOT USE THE EXAMPLES IN DIRECTIONS FOR THE TOPIC

THESE ARE DIRECTIONS ON HOW THE PAPER SHOULD BE WRITTEN
The pattern for development for this speech is simple:

The Introduction
Identify the problem. This is usually a societal problem, but it can be discussed on a more individual level. For instance, childhood obesity might be localized in your focus. Start with a definition of the problem, then provide statistical evidence of the existence of that problem. Close with a thesis statement that promotes the notion that our concern about this problem should be very real and the time for action is at hand.

Source of the Problem
Profile how this problem came to be.

Is the origin a genetic one (e.g., breast cancer that results from a genetic line that has had frequent victims within that family lineage)?
A behavioral one (e.g., anorexia brought on by peer and social pressure which pro
