Systems Theory, as stated by David Easton, “When we look out on the concrete world of reality, we perceive a bewildering display of phenomena. If we are to orient ourselves in the world, either as actors or as scientists, we must select certain phenomena as a worthy of attention while disregarding other phenomena.” Also, our country needs war on drugs because of the behavior of the Filipinos. For David Easton believes that everything has a limit, this country needs new policies to discipline its…

Drowning. If the situation presented itself, could you stop yourself, simply by swimming? What if you were intoxicated? Had drug problems or medical conditions? Good Morning parents, teachers, members of the education system, and concerned people of the general public. My name is Erin McDonnell and I will be talking to you about how there should be mandatory swimming lessons and water safety education taught in both primary and secondary schooling. Firstly, the roll-out of compulsory lessons…

The 5 reasons to remain are abstinence is because teens are not ready for sex, teens are not allowed to have sex because of moral or religious beliefs, teens want to focus on their education or career, they do not want sexually transmitted diseases, and they do not want to be pregnant or be a parent. Also, if you are pressured into have sex you should be able to…

Abstract Dexmedetomidine is widely used for procedural sedation due to its unique combination of sedation, analgesia and anxiolysis with minimal respiratory depression. Transient hypertension has been reported during the use of dexmedetomidine which is usually benign and is taken over by the hypotensive response on continuing the infusion. We report a case of hypertensive crisis following dexmedetomidine infusion used for procedural sedation, necessitating discontinuation of the infusion and…

In his article entitled Drugs: Case for Legalizing Marijuana in the New York Times on September 26, 1970, Gore Vidal made several good points. He equated the war on drugs with the time of the prohibition. Making alcohol illegal resulted in thousands of deaths due to bad alcohol. The same thing seems to be happening today with the war on drugs. Those who use drugs for recreation or those who become addicted never really know for sure what they are taking into their system. Whether it will…

correlation, and we cannot restrict individual liberties because of a prediction or correlation to a social issue. I will show an objection to this using Mill’s Harm Principle, and further show my support that heroin and cocaine should be decriminalized and not be kept illegal. Laws regarding the use of heroin and cocaine are paternalistic and interfere with the liberty of mentally competent adults. Although the government thinks these laws are to prevent harm to others, it greatly…

Douglas Husak begins his argument with shocking facts about moral and legal issues concerning illicit drugs. He states approximately 80 to 90 million people have used illicit drugs at some point in their lives; there are 400,000 drug offenders in jail. Out of those 400,000 people 130,000 are in jail for the possession of drugs alone. Husak believes it is a reasonable idea not to punish drug users at all. The foundation of his argument is centered on the idea that drug use should be…

Lisa McGirr’s book, The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State, argues that alcohol was a major part of the New Deal and previous scholarship concerning alcohol has marginalized the subject or emphasized the failure of Prohibition. Contrary to this scholarship, McGirr claims the opposite, “that beer took its place in the vanguard of New Deal measures” (xiii). Referring to the title of her book, McGirr convincingly proves that the war on alcohol was waged on African…

activity where there should not be any. After giving a briefing on how the brain works through scientific facts, he backs his facts with multiple examples. Dean Burnett gives his scientific reasoning, that cocaine leads to increased focus and energy, heroin reduces pain, and marijuana acts as a relaxant and gives a pleasant buzz (para. 5). After presenting logical explanations on how drugs affect the brain, he then gives literal analogies to convince the audience. “Rather than an egg, perhaps…

young children do not. My mother was a drug addict and her drug of choice was heroin. I was aware of her addiction from an early age; events that were commonplace in my home, I look back now as an adult and realize how wrong they were. For instance, it was made out to be a game to sort the seeds out of her marijuana. I remember being very young, possibly five or six and describing what was needed and how to shoot up heroin to my grandparents. There were many instances that I was forced to…
