Through the past years, the question of legalizing drugs has been becoming more popular. There are many different opinions on this subject because of personal beliefs. I believe that these substances should be legal because no matter what law is created, if a person chooses to use them, they will. If it were legalized, the government would gain economical advantages by the changes it would cause. In one year, it is estimated that 1 billion dollars of revenues is spent in the drug market (Andelman, 1994).

One of the big reasons that I believe that it should be legal is because it would bring in more money for our government. This is mostly because we would be able to tax the substances just as we can alcohol and tobacco. This would be allowed because with it becoming legalized, the government is able to set the prices, or at least set a tax on it if it is supplied privately. It is projected that if marijuana alone were to become legalized that the government could make at least 7.8 million dollars a year in taxes. It would also help decrease government funding by being able to reduce the cost of imprisonment and enforcement. In 1992, 58% of inmates in federal prisons were serving for some sort of drug charge (Chambliss, 1994). The government could save billions of dollars each year by not having to support these felons.

Marie Josephe Jeanne Antoinette was born on 2nd November 1795 in Vienna, Austria to the emperor Joseph and empress Maria Therese. Her mother was a very powerful woman, who had about 15 children in total.

In 1770, when she was only fourteen, Marie was married off to the French Dauphin (heir to the throne). Before she was married, Marie had to say goodbye to her parents and siblings, some of whom she would never see again, and travel to the Austrian/French border. It was here, in a tent on a platform situated in the middle of the River Rhine, that she was forced to strip off all her clothes and pass through the tent to France. They were married and Marie later gave birth to three children.

In 1774 her husband became King Louis XVI and she became Queen of France. The personalities of the two rulers were very different; Louis was phlegmatic and withdrawn, whilst Marie was happy, frivolous and imprudent in her actions and choice of friends. Read more…

The prostate gland is located between the bladder and in front of the rectum. The upper part of the urethra passes through the prostate gland, which can cause some serious problems if it becomes enlarged. They believe that the cancer is caused by changes in DNA. The reason for this is because some parts of the DNA give instructions to the cell about growth and division. This is where cancer comes into play, which is the division of cells gone mad. The genes that promote cell growth and division are oncogenes. When this happens, it creates a tumor. The tumor will either be benign or malignant. Benign tumors do not spread like the malignant ones. When a malignant tumor spreads, it is called metastasis. Prostate cancer is when a malignant tumor is found in the prostate gland. The severity determines what stage the cancer is in, it will be in T1, T2, T3, or T4. “T1 and T2 are limited only to the prostate gland.”(source 1) T3 is when the cancer has already made its way into the tissue. T4 is when the cancer is spread all across the body. There are three types of prostate diseases: benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, and prostate cancer. Read more…

This essay is based on bipolar disorder in everyday people. Bipolar disorder is a mental illness is identified by intense and random mood swings.

They also hypothesized, that when patients did relapse, therapists greater in competence and adherence would have patients who stayed well longer had less inpatient hospitalizations. Read more…

Racism has occurred throughout the centuries. It comes in many different forms and acts but they fall under mental or physical. The best example of racism is against the African-American race. Blacks have been discriminated against severely throughout the Civil War period and the 1950’s and 1960’s. Royal Battle tells the small story of racism in its mental and physical forms.

Ralph Ellison is a prime example of how racism is towards the one discriminated against. Ellison’s incident is one that shows the physical side of racism more than the emotional. The rounding up off the blacks to entertain for the white’s around the ring shows the superiority and inequality of the society. It shows how the blacks have little status and how they have to work hard and like animals to get some cash. The whites on the other hand have money, throw it around like it grows on trees, and treat the blacks as though they are not even human beings.

Furthermore, as the chapter progresses along with the fight things start to get more brutal. They begin to blindfold all of the black men in the ring and they throw them all in there at once. They then begin to gang up on each other while the whites are looking on as though it was a dogfight, yelling at them and showing them complete disrespect. After they gang up on one man they then turn to the next until there are only two people left in the ring, Ellison and Tatlock who is the biggest man in the ring. They are then forced to fight until one of them knocks the other out and gets the prize. Read more…

Honourable lords and ladies of Venice we are gathered here today to remember the life of the courageous Othello. Many of you have come to mourn his death but I on the other hand have come here before you all to celebrate, not his passing away but as a tribute to his contribution to us, the people.

What a tragic way to end a proud and honourable role of dedication, leadership, and faithful servant to the people of Venice. Many of the people in this room today will agree with me in saying that Othello never permitted devious and cowardly acts, he was a man who believed in the importance to serve, and knew his role as gallant warrior of Venice. They were given to him for his tremendous traits. Whether they be from the art of hand to hand combat to the full protection and leadership of his people. Read more…

Fitzgerald decided to employ a narrator who was a participant in the story, but was more an observer than an actor. This creates a complex point of view, which involves us, as readers, in acts of interpretation, which eventually lets us make judgments about the narrator. The qualities that Fitzgerald has given to the narrator, Nick Carraway, are those of a privileged background. But from the advice that was given to him by his father, this makes him aware that some people may not have the same privileges and opportunities as himself, which allows him to make good judgments, for example, “In consequence, I’m inclined to reserve all judgments.” So from this the reader can see that he looks at all sides of opinions, and does not make snap decisions, which allows people to tell him their secrets because he is trustworthy, impartial and holds back his judgments. Which is why in the story, so many people open up to him. This impartiality allows the characters in the novel to be open with him, which is a good quality for a narrator, because he has their confidence, “Listen, Nick; let me tell you what is said when she was born. Would you like to hear?” This proves that he is the ideal listener and as such is accepted by the reader. Read more…
