Drugs In Sports
Words: 1108 - Pages: 5.... hopes were high for his future. However just 6 years later, he found himself totally isolated from the sport and unable to continue. Why you may say? Was it a great injury sustained? Was it a financial problem he faced? Did he lose interest in the sport? None of these actually. The only problem John Mcewick faced was a moral one. Unfortunately John Mcewick believed that sport was something that tested the combination of natural ability, training and determination and not the determination to do anything to win, even if it meant abusing their own bodies. What am I talking about, well John Mcewick was encouraged by people in the spo .....

Furthermore, Maucker depicts the electric chair as “unconstitutional” and suggests alternative actions such as lethal injections. Nevertheless, his view is very bias and provides argumentative grounds for the audience at hand.
Earl Maucker has chosen to write about a controversial topic that is in the back of most reader’s minds. Therefore, it is not very hard for him to quickly gain the interest of several readers. However, his credibility is another issue. As a newspaper columnist for the Sun Sentinel, Maucker has minimal credibility. As an editor, he makes this very ev .....

An Argument For The Legalization Of Drugs, Based On John Stuart Mills' "Revised Harm Principle"
Words: 1064 - Pages: 4.... Since Mills is concerned not with individual
rights, but with the consequences of one's actions on other people, the question
becomes: Is drug use an action that, although performed by an individual,
threatens the vital interests of others? Using the example of a casual,
responsible drug user who is a contributing (or non-detracting) member of
society, it is clear that more harm is done to others if the user must resort to
illegal methods to obtain his drugs. The very act of buying drugs is
intrinsically illegal and carries the threat of establishing a criminal record
for the buyer. This can have a devastating effect on his family, h .....

Drugs Should Not Be Legalized
Words: 1230 - Pages: 5.... After learning about the issues regarding both sides of the
argument, I would choose to support those who oppose legalization
of any drugs. Drugs simply create problems which effect society in
several ways. The government has made several efforts to control drugs
and their users, however, to most the problem appears too out of hand.
"Others see potential profit in legalizing drugs and still others
simply believe that individual rights to take drugs should be
protected. The group also acknowledged that the legalization concept
appeals to people who are l .....

A section speaking of personal injury states that penalties were imposed for injuries received during an unsuccessful operation by a doctor and damages caused by neglect in other trades. Rates were fixed in the code for a variety of services in trade and commerce.

How Decriminalisation Could Solve The Drugs Problem
Words: 1546 - Pages: 6.... Is it because of their power to warp the human mind and run amok with the senses upon which we so desperately rely? No. Our world is inescapably full of narcotics, yet many of them, including powerful and dangerous ones such as alcohol and tobacco, are happily tolerated by society. The nutmeg in your kitchen cupboard can have narcotic effects if smoked (and, used in this way, it can also give you cancer), yet few people have cause to think of this when they sprinkle it into their cakes and biscuits. Chocolate contains an addictive chemical called PEA, which stimulates our brains in the same way that Ecstasy does. Overdosing on chocolat .....

Capital Punishment And Issues
Words: 1642 - Pages: 6.... seven major crimes: treason (grand and petty), murder, larceny, burglary, rape, and arson. By 1800, more than 200 capital crimes were recognized, and as a result, 1000 or more persons were sentenced to death each year (although most sentences were commuted by royal pardon). In the American colonies before the Revolution, the death penalty was commonly authorized for a wide variety of crimes. Blacks, whether slave or free, were threatened with death for many crimes that were punished less severely when committed by whites.
The Reform Movement
Efforts to abolish the death penalty did not gather momentum until the end of the 18th century; i .....

All Drugs Should Be Legal, Or How To End The Drug War
Words: 1269 - Pages: 5.... of tens of billions more a year. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are imprisoned, and millions are marginalized, at [a] considerable cost and danger to others, by records of drug arrests and convictions (Neier A18)." Would in not make sense to try something different in order to get a different result? Have we not learned our lesson from Prohibition? It only took us a mere 14 years to repeal prohibition (Lewis A15). Why don’t we legalize narcotics?
I do not know what will happen if we try this; nobody does. It has never been tried in America. It has been tried in other countries.
One of the countries that have experimented with .....
