(1-1a pg4) With that said‚ I disagree‚ to say that due to the high prices of illegal drugs‚ fewer street drugs are consumed.

Today‚ recycling‚ maintaining our sustainability and taking care of our environment is a big thing. While the best method is to reuse our wastes‚ this often cannot be done.

There is a spectrum of theories that support both good and evil within the human race‚ each with valid points that explains the range of our interests‚ being either for ourselves or for others. However‚ my personal stance is the sensible theory of Altruism. Past experiences and observations allow me to
