Introduction

This research paper examines the evidence that supports a continuance of the existing federal ban on the recreational use of marijuana. While there seems to be a groundswell of public support for legalization of its use – which many claim is the result of strenuous lobbying by pro-marijuana activists – there remains strong scientific evidence in support of a continuing ban on the grounds of public health and safety, especially among the younger generation who would be most affected and most vulnerable to addiction and other problems if it were legalized, thereby making access that much easier.

This paper discusses the issue of whether or not marijuana should be legalized in Pennsylvania for recreational use. The new Governor of Pennsylvania – Tom Wolf – has come out strongly in support of legalizing marijuana for medical use (in line with around 80 percent of the voting population of Pennsylvania), and has also expressed support for a move to decriminalize using small amounts of marijuana for personal consumption (“Medical and Recreational Marijuana Advances on Election Day” 2014). With the Pennsylvania state legislature poised to approve medical marijuana use in the state, it is timely to evaluate the merits of approving recreational ...

In recent years, the increase in immigrants to the United States increased tremendously and undoubtedly has an impact on the nation’s society and the economy. However, the process of migration has a tremendous impact on the extinction of the cultures of the migrants.

The adults on the other find it difficult to adjust as the shift in cultural practices and beliefs cause severe psychological and social problems for these individuals as they attempt to let go of ...

Sous Vide is a cooking method that came from a French term that means under pressure. In the process, food is sealed in an airtight bag made from plastic material. The food is then cooked in the water longer than the usual cooking time. This can be done in meats and vegetables through precisely regulated temperature, which is much lower than usually used for cooking. The temperature normally ranges from 55 °C to 60 °C. This method is intentionally done so that meats and vegetables are cooked evenly without overcooking the outside portion while keeping the food’s inside portion well-done ...

New In America.

The 1900s saw the advent of mass migration from Europe to America. Every day, Ellis Island, in New York, would be inundated with hundreds of migrants seeking a higher quality of life in the United States of America. This new country posed fantastic opportunities to gain a fresh start and hundreds tried to gain permission every day. This fascination began when between 1880 and 1890, 5.3 million immigrants had come to America’s shores; another 3.7 million arrived between 1890 and 1900: “By 1900, America’s population was about 76 million, double what it had been just thirty years earlier, and ...

In the late nineteenth century, America went through a time of progress that was later dubbed the Gilded Age. The Gilded Age is known as a time of economic prosperity, industrial advancement, and population growth. However, the era included many dark times that are masked under the guise of progress and prosperity. The economy took a downward spiral, discrimination was rampant, and corrupt politicians worked with wealthy businessmen to concentrate the country’s wealth in a small population of people. Despite the tough circumstances that were caused by a boom in population growth, immigrants remained a large portion of ...

The policy of multiculturalism, national identity and the fight against racism is extremely relevant today. Which theory to stick – fusion of many cultures into one, or preserving the cultural identity of each nation and race – that is the question that is now concerned by not only politicians but also by ordinary people. It can be said that it is mainly addressed to the people who face the representatives of different cultures in everyday life. Therefore, it is important to understand how the policy of multiculturalism has developed in countries such as Canada and the US as it is in ...

The nature of security required calls for the people to implement solutions that should match the expectations of the patients in their security at the hospitals. The level of technology used in the ...

Introduction

Nowadays, the struggle against the use, dissemination, and production of drugs is quite severe. Despite the fact that so-called War on Drugs has been launched in 1971, it seems like there was no serious developments in this direction. Since the development of this campaign, loads of taxpayers’ funds were invested to this fight, a lot of people were detained, and tons of substances confiscated. The War led to the militarization of the police and involvement of the military into the raids on multiple occasions. One of the main issues here is the focus of the authorities on a specific ...

Cartoons seem innocent in their attempt to make children laugh. In many cases they also seek to teach a lesson. The lesson can be something as simple as the importance of sharing or being honest. It can also teach something serious like looking both ways before crossing the street. The less obvious lessons are more subtle and often more lasting in the psyche of the juvenile audience. It happens more often when the cartoons characters are human beings instead of animals or puppets. Human cartoon characters cause children of all ages to absorb significant details about race, gender and culture. ...

The population of Spanish speakers in America is growing, increasingly interacting with English-speaking populations to contribute to the expanding cultural melting pot of this country. Hybrid languages often result from this clash of cultures, and one that is rising in prominence and usage is ‘Spanglish’, a combination of Spanish and English that is being found increasingly in different Hispanic American communities (Alvarez 483). Because of the greater exposure Latin-American writers and people are receiving through popular culture and media, Spanglish is becoming more well known all throughout America (Morales 2002). As this hybrid language grows in usage, people wonder if ...

The legalization of marijuana has been a very controversial case for decades, with strong arguments on either side. For most of the 20th century and beyond, it has been illegal in the United States and other countries, turning its sale and usage into a vast underground market that has gone untapped by any professional outlet. Some say that it is a harmful, addictive drug that leads to health detriments down the line for those who use it. However, there are others who claim that it is perfectly safe, not addictive, and could be an incredible source of income for a legitimate economy. The legalization ...

In the 1930s, American culture was at a crossroads. In the middle of the Great Depression with a failing economy, still reeling from both World War I and Prohibition, crime was on the rise. Organized crime and gangs were a part of the media zeitgeist, as Al Capone, Chicago mobs and other big-city trades peddled drugs, alcohol, and sex. The presence of these vices, and their increased prevalence in American culture, demonstrated the need (or at least the desire) to combat them through preventative measures and cautionary tales to make sure the youth of America did not get lured into these same ...

In western countries, marijuana is either legal or largely tolerated despite legal restrictions while in the East trafficking is punishable by death. This difference in restriction of bang is attributed to cultural differences and legal frameworks. This paper will address the pros and cons of legalizing the use of marijuana by separating cultural perceptions from the debate surrounding the drug.
