Addressing A Controversial Issue
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The very nature of controversy finds its fundamental basis amidst disagreement between a minimum of two sides; when this conflict is left unresolved, the extent to which the controversial issue is heightened serves to impede progress toward a solution. At the same time, however, society cannot exist without controversy, inasmuch as people will never agree about every issue one hundred percent of the time. Upon examining the core aspect of controversy, one finds that personal interpretation represents the primary component. Characteristic of humanity's constant quest for the concept of meaning, the journey of understanding has come to represent myriad things to myriad people, ultimately rendering any universal explanation virtually impossible. The problem with meaning as it relates to controversy is attempting to successfully pinpoint a single yet comprehensive connotation to its concept; however, this cannot be achieved as long as any two individuals harbor decidedly different interpretations.

Advantages of Marijuana Legalization: Claim Of Policy
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. To legalize marijuana would bring about monumental change in several areas of society: remove the temptation that surrounds the act of using marijuana; eliminate the need for black markets, robbery, murder and all the other insidious elements connected with illicit drug use; reduce taxpayer dollars that currently filter through the criminal justice system; and thin out significantly overcrowded prison populations. People would be left to their own accord as to how much and when they consumed without the infiltration of law enforcement authorities, thus enabling the crime rate to drop considerably and to finally establish societies where drugs are not at the root of virtually all criminal activity. Proponents who view the legalization of marijuana as something positive and productive have said all along that drug abuse itself is not the harmful aspect of an addict's problem; rather, the various conditions that surround the abuse are responsible for the physical and psychological wounds.
