of epipens because the “Mylan” company has a monopoly on them and is unfairly controlling the price. The price of epipens has been raised over 400% in the past few years because Mylan’s one competitor had a recall due to possible errors in drug dosage. The drug used in epipens, epinephrine, is inexpensive and each epipen carries only a dollars worth. The injector itself is bought by Mylan from a manufacturer for only $34.50 per pen! This is a very unfair raise in price and something needs to…

Since I was a child, my dream has always been to become a successful lawyer. There was only one problem. Which type of lawyer did I want to be? Usually, people wait until their senior year in college to decide which type of lawyer to become. However, I am a little different. I am the type of person that sets a long-term goal with many short-term goals to aid my success. With this mentality, it drove me crazy when I attempted to discover which type of law was right for me. As a freshman at…

Along the way many of my past teachers have always used this quote in class to instill in me the value of education, and how far a journey it can take you if you just believe in yourself the quote as it states: “knowledge is power”. That quote, simply just speaks for itself. To me it simply means get an education in a career that you love, and there is nothing you can’t do. My parents as well taught to make sure that I…

I do find it rude when others can’t notice when they take it to far and start to distract the class, I pay a lot of money to go to school and I don’t like my time money or time being wasted over students who don’t know how act like mature adults. I think the Darden officials took things a little far when they added the switch for internet access in classrooms, although I see where they were coming from, I think that was a bit drastic. Although I disagree with the way Darden handled the situation…

Anti-drug laws have been established in the United States with the earliest one dating back to an ordinance passed by San Francisco in 1875 against the use of opium dens (Fisher, 2014). Over the past 40 years, The War on Drugs is a phrase commonly associated with the United States government effort to eradicate the use and distribution of drugs by means of legislation and law enforcement.

Russia (Highest to Lowest - Prison Population Total). These surprising statistics are due in part to the drug war, which has only resulted in the increase of illicit drugs and the mass incarceration of American citizens. The action America takes may affect the future in ways that could damage families across this once great land in a very similar way the American Prohibition did so long ago. Drug abuse as a result should be decriminalized, as otherwise innocent people are spending countless…

The legislation relates primarily to health and welfare issues, and disciplinary proceedings. Random breath testing (RBT) was introduced between 1990 and 1996 as a minimisation and prevention strategy.

In relation to this, the drug usage is likely symptomatic of other problems that have led people to turn to the use of drugs as a coping mechanism. These problems can stem from racial or systemic barriers including poverty. Where and why did the war on drugs begin, and is it actually doing anything to reduce drug related crime and addiction to these drugs, as it…
