I say we should legalize gambling in Hawaii. First of all‚ it would drastically increase Hawaii’s revenue and flow of tourism. Hawaii is already mainly dependent on tourism for incoming revenue. Some claim that crime might rise‚ but crime is there regardless of any laws‚ in any city‚ state‚ or country one might reside in.

Without Gambling? After reading about Dr. Tamokashis field work I realized how gambling is an incredibly important aspect of the Gende people of the Yandera village. In our culture gambling is looked down upon. However‚ for the Gende people it helps redistribute the wealth back into the economic system to those who are in need. If an anthropologist who had an ethnocentric view would walk into the Gende culture the effects could be disastrous. By taking away something as minuet to us as gambling it would

Should Gambling Be legalized? Since the negative consequences of gambling surpass the positive ones gambling should be banned. In fact‚ there are several reasons that indicate why gambling shouldn’t be legalized comprising debts issues‚ depression‚ addiction‚ and political corruption. Thus the loss accompanying gambling way more exceeds the financial profit that an individual or a group of people might gain. Therefore I strongly disagree with the legalization of gambling. Gambling
