today. This is why we need prohibition. People have been arguing about prohibition since 1920 when the US government added the eighteenth amendment to the constitution. The amendment was removed because of the inability to prevent illegal alcohol drinking on a nationwide scale. Some say that alcohol gives people a sense of relief and that it helps people forget about reality's problems. You may think that alcohol is a good thing because it makes people happy. However, we need prohibition because

Throughout the article, the author discusses how adolescents are more likely to take risks than children or adults due to the brain. It’s not that teens don’t understand the consequences to their wild decisions, it’s just something teens tend to ignore while making them. Laurence Steinberg, a social neuroscientist quotes “Posit teens are more likely to indulge in risky business because of the way their brains are maturing.” Dramatic changes start to happen in our brains right around the start of

Question 1 - In her article Nadia Arumugam acknowledges some of the counter arguments to her own claim. She admits that the ban does not prevent customers from buying two cans of soda if they wanted, it only forbids “food services establishments regulated by the city” to sell sugary drinks exceeding 16 ounces. Through his art, the creator of the cartoon Dave Granlund demonstrates his position on the soda ban by questioning its effectiveness. He would likely disagree with the Nadia Aruguman because

1.0 Introduction Illegal drug use is prohibited in Australia; however, the use and abuse of drugs is leading social, health and legal issue that affects all Australians. Cannabis use is a major factor in Australia society, as it has the highest number of cannabis users in the world according to the 2017 Global Drug Survey. (Alexander, 2017) It was recorded in 2014 that half a million Australians have used cannabis in the last 12 months and one in three teenagers aged 14 and over had used it at least

The intended audience for my piece is adolescents and adults, this is because my narrative is about the effects drink driving can have on not only yourself by others as my piece is about a car crash caused by drink driving that left a young adult and teenager fighting for life in hospital and ended up dying due to their sever injuries. Drink driving is becoming a big issue in the world with many young adults putting not only theirs but others lives at risk. South Australia is deemed to have the highest

Kids laughing, go-carts revving up, a roller coaster clanking up the first hill, you would never hear this in Madisonville. Madisonville is a greedy city, a city of which the only activities for kids and teens is a movie theater, and the county fair that's only here once a year. Things to do in this city would help eliminate juvenile crime and make the cities teens happier. If we could get activities, kids would have a alternate thing to do instead of drugs, kids would not have to find fun in illegal

Reading about DUI’s are quite dismaying because of how often they occur. It is also dispiriting because a convicted drunk driver has driven drunk about 80 times before his or her first arrest which means people actively disregard the lives of others every time they get on the road intoxicated. On average 28 people die of drunk driving related injuries daily. And unfortunately, these people’s death were futile, because they could have been easily avoided. From 2003−2012, 3,752 people were killed pointlessly

A well-known fact about me is that I go to concerts on a semi-regular basis. In my experience I've encountered countless of different people at shows. There's a few different categories they all can fall under however: the drunk, the thirteen year old that probably shouldn't be at this show, the dad who's in the pit with the thirteen year old, the jerk dude that thinks he's "hardcore", the screaming girl, and the guy who's shoving everyone trying to get to the front. The drunk category at shows

disorder is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).” The article later on says how an alcoholic can not simply stop drinking all together they switch to another routine and or alternative. Also to quote, “One of the symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder is the presence of either obsessions or compulsions that significantly impaired daily functioning.” Which binge eating and drinking would be compulsions meaning these people simply cannot help to just decide to
