MASK OF THE DRUNKEN

I was surprised at reading the terrible story of "Halloween in Carbondale" -http://www.dailyegption.com/fall100/10-27-00/hupdate.html. It was 1994 when there was the last celebration on the Strip involving Halloween in Carbondale. The young drunken groups were violent to the society. There were riots! The policeman used tear-gas to arrest them. After 1994 the policemen strongly controlled the young drunken groups in Halloween.

Around 10 years ago, what happened in Carbondale? The young opened a big party and enjoyed their party with alcohol. Even though they know most students should have a good time and be responsible, what made them becomed violent? Some American said, "I don't know!" "They are young, drunken!!" "Stay at home with candies on Halloween."

What made Carbondale young people become violent at Halloween? Some Americans pointed that a number of young people who couldn't get good grades and didn't belong in school live in Carbondale with alcohol. It's inevitable for them to get angry. Maybe they resolve their anger through drinking alcohol like the other cities of young people. Every weekend they enjoy alcohol, making trial problems individually. Alcohol makes them be free, be happy. Futhermore they got mask of the drunken who are violent, uncontrolled, unacceptable to society. They reveal their hidden animal instinct which has been controlled to be good by socialization. They enjoy some bad activity for fun itself together in Halloween. The group with the drunken masks, after hiding their faces behind masks are very dangerous to society. Alcohol brings up a drunken mask in deep heart in Halloween. Drunken people are more likely to cause violence as a group. They are rebellious, defiant against society. So we try to find out the way for young people to solve their problem. We have to be more interested in young people.
