Legalization Of Marijuana Medicinal Purposes
1,578 wordsWhen Olympic officials decided to give snowboarder Ross Rebagliati his gold medal back, the cheers drowned out the boos. It was a minor scandal involving a minor sport, but it spoke volumes about the world's shifting relationship with its favorite illicit drug. Marijuana. A decade ago, Rebagliati would have been ostracized regardless of whether cannabis was on the list of his sport's banned substances. What's changed today is that our attitudes towards illegal drugs are becoming more sophisticat...

Children And The Single Parent
1,653 wordsSingle parenting begins with the divorce of a couple who have children. Approximately ninety percent of all minor children live primarily with their mothers. Non custodial fathers usually have less than biweekly contact with their children, and involvement usually declines as time goes by. Since most single-parent households are mother-headed, and have only one income, often below that of a man. This results in economic distress and fewer opportunities for educational and extracurricular experie...

Late At Night Board Of Education
601 wordsThe proposal submitted by the local Board of Education to start high school earlier is absurd. Although the idea of accommodating an expanding schedule may sound convincing, there are many factors that should be taken into consideration before making a final decision. I believe that starting school earlier could have negative effects on high school students due to sleep deprivation of the teenagers during adolescence. The teenagers sleep patterns change. Compared to when the teenagers used to be...

Flexible Work Arrangements Reduce The Amount
1,589 wordsIf the workplace of today could be characterized by a single theme, it would most likely focus on the continual presence of change. Dramatic changes in technology, the marketplace and the workforce have compelled organizations to re-evaluate not only the competitiveness of their products, but also the core ways in which work is performed.

Freedom of speech, freedom of the press and the right to assemble were now restricted. Weeks went by and these articles were still not reinstated.

Year Round School Year
786 wordsThroughout time, education has been considered a process that, every so often, must be improved. The education quality in the U. S. has declined over the years and people have been looking for a way to make improvements. A more recent proposal has been to go from a traditional nine- month schedule to an all year program. Supporters of year round schooling claim it better educates the student. However, the prospect of year round schooling proves disadvantageous, and nine month schooling is more e...

Make A Lot Lot Of Money
776 wordsEffort Should Be Paid As you sit at a stadium or in your home and watch college football, basketball, or even baseball, do you ever wonder where the money goes from all the ticket sales?

Marijuana Tax Act American Medical Association
2,757 wordsInstantly, from the title of this essay, you will stereotype me for being a pothead. Well, I m not. The reason I did this topic is because I was not informed of all the facts, and believe they should be shared. I also once thought that those people at NORML (a group of people trying to legalize Marijuana) were just potheads, wanting to smoke up all the time. I received information on them, and their beliefs. A lot of this information makes perfectly good sense, and should be considered and read ...

People My Schedule First Week Of College Addition
632 wordsThe three main things that caused my first week of college to be chaotic were the people, my schedule, and having to commute to school. The people at Georgia State are a much more diverse blend than I have experienced in the past eight-teen years of my life. The minority no longer seems to be so few in numbers. In addition to this, many people have sexual affiliations that were previously considered to be un-common by the principles of the community in which I was raised. It would seem that ther...
