rightfully sympathetic, Raoul subsequently moved back to Sweden to rekindle his aspiration for business in his home country. Eventually, Raoul met a Hungarian Jew by the name of Koloman Lauer. Lauer was the director of a Swedish import and export company whose specialty was food and delicacies. Because Wallenberg’s language skills were second to none, and he had free range of travel, Raoul was the ideal business partner for Lauer. Through his travel agenda, Wallenberg visited and learned the customs of many European countries including Nazi-occupied France and Germany. He even made regular trips to visit with Lauer’s parents who resided in Budapest, Hungary. During the time in which the Western world was suddenly becoming aware of the Holocaust in 1944, Wallenberg’s copious business connections ultimately led him and Lauer to be chosen by the Swedish Red Cross to rescue the Jews of Hungary. Lauer persisted in his argument that Raoul be the leader of this mission, and eventually so, he became. Wallenberg “arrived in Budapest with a diplomat status given by the Swedish legation” (Greek 35). Mass deportations had already begun to occur in Budapest as only approximately 230,000 Jews were now left out of…

Refuting “Six powerful reasons to legalize marijuana” by Owen Poindexter from NY Times The use, sale and possession of cannabis (marijuana) in the United States are considered as a schedule I control substances and illegal under federal law. However, five states have legalized marijuana for recreational use and thirty one states for medical use only. While proponents say there are legitimate reasons for cannabis legalization, concerns remain about the marijuana’s effect on users and their…

Denying the Beneficial I was in the midst of having a conversation with my friend during study hall when one of our friends sat next to us. She quietly invited us to a Halloween party going on Friday night. I wasn’t too enthusiastic about attending the party, yet my friend managed to convince me to accompany her. It was late October and Friday night came along. As we got to the party we were greeted by many people. It was crowded and hot, and my friend and I made our way through all these people…

Introduction Around the world the criminalization of cannabis use has been revised in recent years to become more lenient and Canada is no different. As the Government of Canada will attempt to “legalize, regulate, and restrict access to marijuana” by spring 2017 (“Marijuana”, 2016), it is crucial to examine the impact on the health, social, and economic aspects of society (“Toward”, 2016). As prevalence and accessibility of the drug to the population continues to increase, a negative health…

sale of any drugs would be considerably profitable, as seen previously with the two drugs that are legal: tobacco and alcohol. Conversely, Ranjit Dighe, a Professor and Chair of Economics at the State University of New York at Oswego, argues that the tax revenue generated by the legal sale of pot is highly exaggerated because the estimated tax increase of 6 billion dollars is just less than 1 percent of the accumulated national debt (Dighe). Dighe believes that the potential profit gained from…

The huge revenue boost is undoubtedly one decisive factor that has run through the minds of many governments. For instance, Art Way, Colorado State director for the Drug Policy Alliance, articulates that "As of October [2013], Colorado brought in more than $40 million in marijuana taxes."(Par 7) but more importantly, "Colorado ... has seen an economic boost since legalization [and] is ranked as one of the fastest growing economies [in United States]"(Par 9). This sudden increase in income will…

The United States has been in a state of economic decline and continues to face a growing national debt. Marijuana legalization could solve this issue. Legalizing cannabis seems inevitable as Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational marijuana and many other states have legalized medical marijuana and decriminalized possession of marijuana, despite cannabis being considered a Schedule I drug at the federal level. Some argue against its use…

(10) This act emphasises Ireland’s strict laws of control and regulation regarding cannabis and other various drugs. The act outlines the following set laws. Any individual found with cannabis or a controlled drug on their possession, may be found guilty of a criminal offence. Depending on the quantity of the drug and or if the individual planned to use the drug for personal use or to sale, this will determine the punishment. The punishment could be a fine, imprisonment or both depending on…

Ironically it was deemed to be the other way around. The United States is still living in an era of prohibition. However, alcohol is not the substance being prohibited to the people, today it is cannabis. The views toward cannabis have shifted dramatically over the past ten years. In 2005, only 33 percent of the American population supported legalizing marijuana, today that number has increased by twenty-two percent, to an astounding 55 percent. Also, in 2013, a Gallup survey was taken to see…

same rate of learning so would all require the same level of teaching. This allowed children in the Secondary Modern schools to be taught less, as there was no expectation for them to excel further then what had been predicted. Also, children in Grammar schools were expected to improve at the same rate as in Primary Education, resulting in pressure being put on those who may have struggled at higher levels. Due to the faith in the validity of the 11+ exam, there were few instances of…
