Drugs: A Major Problem In Canadian Society
.... addicts includes an
extensive program of detoxification. Medical drugs, such as Naloxone, are
sometimes given to patients to aid in overcoming these addictions. These drugs
occupy opiate receptors in the brain to block all effects of the damaging drugs,
however the Naloxone is not an addictive drug, as the others are. The downfall
to the medical drugs being used to help addiction are that there effects are
very short-term and cannot cure the patient, but does assist in attaining the
goal of substituti .....

Drug Legalization
.... to the arguments to
legalize or decriminalize drugs. The solution to the drug problem is not to
repeal the drug laws. The solution requires commitment to a balanced effort on
drug education , prevention , treatment, and law enforcement. Softening our
drug laws would be a major mistake. Research and data clearly shows the
problem is not drug prohibition , but drug use. When drugs are cheap and
easily accessible , more people will use them. It is a frightening scenario
that envisions more of ou .....

Drug Prohibition
.... for assault for carrying extremely valuable
goods. The streets become battlegrounds for competing dealers because a
particular block or corner can rake in thousands of extra dollars a day. Should
drugs be legalized, the price would collapse, and so would the drug-related
motivations to commit crime. A pack of cocaine becomes no more dangerous to
carry than a pack of cigarettes. The streets would be safer to walk, as
criminal drug dealers are pushed from the market.
Legalization would also deflate pr .....

Drugs And Legalization
.... money. Minimum wage salaries can not compare to the huge
profits associated with dealing. In a drug community, the drug dealers are seen
as the center of the community. They become role models for the children,
replacing their parents. Eliminating the drug dealer will force these young
children into the reality that education is the way to make money, not selling
drugs.

the boarders from all immigrants bringing illegal drugs into the United States
of America. There is also a lot of money put into a huge wall/fence going across

the west side are hundreds of check in places to help stop from letting in
illegal drugs.

Citizens complain about young people being out of control, or that someone parked two inches inside thier handycap parking spot.

Should Juveniles Be Waived To Adult Court
.... in a court of law. The major decisions of this time were: Kent v. United States, In re Gault, and In re Winship. Since the time that these laws were enacted, the number of juveniles committing violent offenses has risen dramatically.
There are two distinct schools of thought in this argument: side A believes that a persons age should not prevent that person from feeling the full effect of the adult court system, while side B feels that you simply cannot apply the same rules to juvenile offende .....

Senseless Lawsuits
.... not be able to be held accountable for their wrongful deaths. What was amazing about the case is the amount of money that was awarded to the families when they stated it wasn’t about the money. If it wasn’t about the money then why did they bother with the suit in the first place if he was found not guilty of their murders? To me it seems that it was about the money and not who killed their children, if that was the case they would work with OJ to find out who the real killers are.
Recently a lawsuit .....

The Supreme Court’s decision that separate but equal is not equal began the desegregation of public schools. The decision resulted in forced busing of students. Some students now have to travel extremely far so that schools meet .....

Search & Seizure In The Context Of Automobiles
.... automobile searches for contraband goods by a law enforcement officer. The Supreme Court has created this exception because it is not practical to secure a search warrant when there is probable cause to believe that contraband goods are in an automobile. Such things as automobiles and boats can quickly be moved away before an officer can secure a warrant. New Jersey Courts also recognize that an automobile exception is required because the need of a search warrant is often unforeseeable when an automobile .....

Capital Punishment

Prisons, for the most part, are inescapable. But what if, the man that hunted you down, kidnapped you, and killed your friend, was the one of the few whom successfully escaped from jail? Once life has already been taken; your life should not also have to be lived in fear. Serial killers such as the Hillside Strangler prove that they need .

It has been shown through recent lawsuits brought about by career smokers that the corporations did in fact know about the addictive properties of the nicotine and refused to inform the public. Magazines, newspapers and billboard owners should be held accountable for promoting these types of products and are just as guilty as the cigarette manufactures themselves.

Make US Citizenship More Difficult

The most profound and obvious way that immigrants affect our country is through their culture. Has there ever been an American culture? If a culture does or did exist it is then a mixture of the many subcultures brought to the United States by immigrants. However, each subculture added has substantially made the American culture richer. An incredible example is the broad range of cultural foods found in the United States. In how many other countries throughout the world can you go to a .....
