- 4651: Drug Prohibition
- ... and Berent, eds. xvii). The second cost of this "war" is something economists call opportunity costs. Here, we have two limited resources: prison cells and law enforcement. When more drug crimes take up law enforcement's time and when more drug criminals take up cells, less ability to fight other crime exists. This becomes significant when an estimated 35-40 million Americans use drugs per year. In 1994, law enforcement arrested ... Samper] was said to have taken money from drug traffickers so that the government would stop other groups from exporting cocaine. Because of the problems South American countries have faced because of Drug Prohibition, Colombia's Nobel Prize winning author Gabriel García Márquez has written a manifesto declaring the drug war as "useless" (15). Action abroad by the United States has also led to an increase in subversive organizations worldwide. Civil ... The United Nations classifies these rights in three "generations": civil, socioeconomic, and solidarity rights (Peterson). Shielding our people from the dangers of a threatening world, therefore, seems to be an appropriate use of the state's power under socioeconomic rights. The danger in thinking in this manner is that it overlooks the individual's contributions to the nation. These contributions, either positive or negative, are generally difficult to regulate by ...

One of the rebellious boys, Neil Perry, wants to fulfill his dreams and become an actor, despite the regulations of his school.

- 4656: Fahrenheit 451 & Brave New Wor
- ... the luxuries of life in America today, in addition to various occupations and technological advances, to show what life could be like if the future takes a drastic turn for the worse. He turns man's best friend, the dog, against man, changes the role of public servants and changes the value of a person. Aldous Huxley also uses the concept of society out of control in his science fiction novel ... in his book a group of people unaffected by the changes in society, a group that still has religious beliefs and marriage, things no longer part of the changed society, to compare and contrast today's culture with his proposed futuristic culture. But one theme that both Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451 use in common is the theme of individual discovery by refusing to accept a passive approach to life ... mother, but he, a hybrid of the two cultures, was stuck in the middle. (May) These concepts, human reaction to changes in their culture and questioning of these changes, are evident throughout the book. Huxley's characters either conform to society's demands for uniformity or rebel and begin a process of discovery; there are no people in the middle. By doing so, Huxley makes his own views of man ...
- 4657: Death And The Maiden - Film Vs
- The Polanski film Death and the Maiden is a wonderful and intelligent interpretation of Ariel Dorfman s human rights problem play. Polanski has produced, in this film, an exceptional piece of direction, in which his own personal, emotional input is evident. The main theme of the play is an extremely personal one ... differences in both the different emphases and implied viewpoints on the various themes that the play touches on and, perhaps more importantly, the way the characters are portrayed. While the old concept of whatever doesn t kill you makes you stronger is present in both the play and the film (particularly in the characterisation of Paulina), it is much more prevalent in the movie. We can see Paulina s strength from the start. As she strides confidently around the house and violently tears off a piece of chicken, the suggestion that she is unsuited to the domestic position which she has obviously been ...
- 4658: Dante's Peak
- Dante's Peak After seeing the movie, I have to say that its presentation and delivery was more than satisfactory. Its story, however, is nothing new specially here in the volcano-infested Philippine archipelago. Dante's Peak is a good adventure/"natural catastrophe" movie that can make the viewers get a feel for how geologists work. . . The Movie is set in the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A. Dante's Peak is, of course, not a real Cascade volcano, and although Idaho is adjacent to states with Cascade Volcanoes (Oregon and Washington), and another state with an active magma chamber there ...

- ... other catastrophes." Sustainable development is being ignored in Chile, the Philippines, and Siberia, practiced in Madagascar and in Alaska, and examined in the Lake Baikal region of Russia. These Countries must learn from each other's failures and success to discover what sustainable development involves in their own country. Sustainable development has three divisions, economic, environmental, and social. If sustainability is to occur it must, meet these three divisions. In Chile ... let it out slowly, but with the forests gone there was nothing to delay the water from exiting the system. The economical effect of this that land and buildings were destroyed causing millions of peso's worth of damage. The social impact is easy to discern, those who lost loved ones, friends, and family can never get them back. In Madagascar the same type of thing was happening. Locals were cutting ... be done, the government implemented a plan to, "protect and improve the environment while working for sustainable development." The approach integrates all aspects of sustainable development. Socially, a public education programme explains why locals shouldn't cut down the tree's and why it is economically more important that they don't. Environmentally, the forests will not be lost now. And economically some cutting is still down however it is ...
