Body Paragraph 1: The one most affected by these negative labels is Dally because the words they used to describe him is hood, crook, greaser, hopeless, criminal, and heartless. These are incredibly destructive labels because he got so used to them that he does not love anyone back and I think it is because of his label Heartless. Dally even said “He could never love Cherry Valance back” He barely even loved anything I mean besides the gang and he really did not care when Johnny said he killed Bob Dally just said “Good for you.” He is also addicted to hate because he used to everyone hating him or just saying other things about him. I think he needs a quote like this one “Dear haters I couldn’t help but notice that AwesoMe ends with Me and Ugly starts with U.” That quote explains Dally in my opinion.…
Everyone worries about Johnny because he is fragile on the inside. Johnny is the “gang’s pet, everyone's kid brother”(12). The gang feels Johnny is the pet. A member of the gang is always with him and watches him because he is not as tough as the others and because of this, they always have a eye on him. Johnny cares about all members of the gang because if he did not have the gang he would run away. Dally is the opposite of Johnny. He is “ tougher than the rest of us, tougher, colder, meaner”(10). The gang does not have to worry about Dally because he is tough. The gang knows Dally can get himself out of any trouble he gets in. Dally is mean and has a cold heart and because of this he does not care about…

He quickly learned how to defend himself threw fighting. He was fighting neighborhood bullies at age six. Learning how to fight at age six is a bit ridiculous. As a member of the black male species living in the ghetto he would either become the prey or the predator.…
Both “Wordsmith” by Susan Young and “Nature Lessons” by Nancy Lord have similar fathers in the story which express love to their daughter. The difference is “Wordsmith” presents an adult/adult relationship; whereas “Nature Lessons” presents parent/child relationship.…
The cost of new medical drugs seems to be accepted by many people who use them. These pharmaceutical companies increase their profits more and more each year because many people assume that it does cost a lot of money for research and development. Where in reality, they are only spending about 15% of their profit margins on research and development alone. A huge percentage of these drugs are actually tested in other countries where people are more willing to do trials with these drugs because they cannot afford them. Not only are there more people who are more willing to try them, but also there is less regulation and oversight when it comes to testing. Conducting these clinical trials overseas not only saves money, but it also bypasses the requirement of the FDA approval before any human testing can be performed. Using Kant’s theory for determining what actions are considered morally right and wrong, we can look into his Categorical Imperatives. The first CI states, “Act only according to that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it would become a universal law”. (McPhee 1) The second CI states, “Act in such a way that you always treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never simply as a means, but always at the same time as an end”. (McPhee 1) According to this case, we may now bring up several morally questionable actions that these pharmaceutical companies are doing. Is it okay for these companies to sell medical drugs at such a high cost? Should these pharmaceutical companies have a moral obligation to make drugs available to the country in which they perform research and development? Are these test subjects being exploited and being taken advantage of? Should pharmaceutical companies do their testing overseas? Now that we understand the situation at hand, we may come to believe that the pharmaceutical companies are acting in an immoral way according to the CI's. We can look further in…
In 1989 the first drug court was introduced in Miami Dade County, Florida. Drug problems in Florida were substantial and mirrored many states across the United States. Crack Cocaine was on the rise as so was the crime across the United States. The many types of drug courts have been put in place to decrease recidivism, drug use and restore lives and families. Drug Courts are designed to serve as the alternative for incarceration. A big factor in criminal justice is figuring out what programs work for the community which are the taxpayers, and the offenders we are serving and helping. Drug courts are very successful out of the many correctional programs that exist. First discussing the background model that a comprehensive range of drug courts…

Many other states have looked into introducing drug testing in their welfare policies, but due to its legality and cost it was never put into action. I feel that we need to push this issue in more states and eventually once people see that its what the public wants, there will be some kind of welfare reassessment.…
Many people are constantly discussing the issue of welfare recipients abusing the system and spending their money on drugs while receiving government assistance. This issue has brought forward a possible solution of states passing legislation that will require welfare applicants to submit to a drug test before receiving any sort of government assistance. Drug testing welfare applicants before allowing them to receive assistance is a positive idea because most employers require drug tests to be taken by applicants pre-employment. This will help make sure that the government funding is being put toward the family and the needs of the household, and also because in the future it will benefit the children growing…
The question at hand is, should recipients of welfare undergo drug testing for use of illegal drugs in order to receive their welfare checks? This is one of the issues that the US Congress and the US citizens have been debating for years. Author, Arthur Delany explains the concern of both sides of this question in his article, “Welfare Drug Testing Bill Introduced In Congress”, published in The Huffington Post. Like many social issues, there are opposing view points on the idea. On this issue, many would argue that drug testing for welfare recipients is unconstitutional and ultraconservative, while on the complete opposite side the argument, it is believed that the US government should not give…
Imagine what 3,297,500 teachers could do. They could do so much good for so many little kids, future lawyers, doctors, and politicians. A great teacher may even inspire of those children to be the next president of the United States. That giant number of 3 million plus teachers is what we could hire if the government wasn’t spending 131.9 billion dollars being spent on welfare that we could statistically be saving if we were drug testing welfare recipients. That number also doesn’t include people getting food stamps, or the people who qualify for unemployment. Or, we spent that money on the future we could send over 6 million students through public colleges to improve our economy, and stimulate innovation. All welfare recipients should have to undergo drug testing before receiving any sort of help financial from the government.…
Regular Drug testing is part of many people’s lives. When starting a new job many companies require a drug screening urinalysis. After gaining employment many companies require regular screening. Welfare Recipients have never been required to have drug tests to acquire benefits. Welfare was started in the 1930’s during the Great Depression to help families that were struggling.…
Living in a neighborhood of color wherein there is no preference for people with low income, represents a socio-historic process where rising housing costs, public policy, persistent segregation, and racial animus facilitates the influx of violence between black and white menace as a results of residential displacement which is otherwise refer to as gentrification. This has however deprived many citizens of the United States, a good quality of life as it boils down to an argumentative issue between the rich and the poor balance of standard of living. American’s extinction is not necessarily the amount or kind of violence that characterizes our history,” Richard Slotkin writes, “but the…
Boston is being threatened by the increasing use of drug. The number of arrests related to drugs is continuously on the rise. It also implies a huge inestimable underground ‘black market’ of drugs running through the city. Boston’s Mayor Raymond Flynn is looking to take the drug problem head-on. He enforced various ‘anti-drug’ and ‘drug-education’ programmes but quick and substantial profits were increasing drug-trafficking and attracting illegal drug dealers. This time Mayors policy advisor Neil Sullivan and Marc Zegan initiated a research program to create a plan to ‘de-market’ the drug in Boston. Harvard Business School’s four member field study group came up with a research design and analysis.…
