Drug Prohibition
Number of words: 4751 - Number of pages: 18.... on drug enforcement programs and spends many billions more on drug-related crimes and punishment. The estimated cost to the United States for the "War on Drugs" is $200 billion a year or an outstanding $770 per person per year, and that figure does not include the money spent by state and local government in this "war" (Evans and Berent, eds. xvii).
The second cost of this "war" is something economists call opportunity costs. Here, we have two limited resources: prison cells and law enforcement. When more drug crimes take up law enforcement's time and when more drug criminals take up cells .....

Cults
Number of words: 1234 - Number of pages: 5.... athletes will endorse a product and a trend will start, making it turn into a cult. Also people who generate beliefs of something like flying saucer, aliens or any unknown figures can be cult. In religion when people call a church they are referring to a sacred organization having a highly structured or formalized dogma and hierarchy, but also allowing a bit of flexibility about membership requirements allowing you to go to a church and leave church when you want to. Although sects are against church attempts to accommodate to secular society. Sects believe that they are protecting a true f .....

Capital Punishment
Number of words: 527 - Number of pages: 2.... harm can hardly be good for us. The states don't want to kill a
man who is already imprisoned. They say he's already being punished.
However the states don't keep all murders in jail forever. Some
of these criminals will get out and will probably start all over again. Its
not that they have to kill, but they have a problem. Problem or no problem
the states just can't let a killer get away with it. These criminals are
taking an innocent persons life and they get to live. They also get a place
to live, free food and don't have to pay for nothing. They get to kick back
while anothe .....

Same Sex Marriages
Number of words: 2697 - Number of pages: 10.... succession of a deceased spouse's property, as
well as pension and other rights. When two adults desire to "contract" in the
eyes of the law, as well a perhaps promise in the eyes of the Lord and their
friends and family, to be responsible for the obligations of marriage as well as
to enjoy its benefits, should the law prohibit their request merely because they
are of the same gender? I intend to prove that because of Article IV of the
United States Constitution, there is no reason why the federal government nor
any state government should restrict marriage to a predefined heterosex .....

Roe V. Wade
Number of words: 831 - Number of pages: 4.... " Unfortunately, in the entire opinion there is not one line of
explanation, not one sentence that qualifies as a legal argument ". (pg,
103, Bork) He continues to say " It is unlikely that it ever will,
because the right to abort, whatever one thinks of it, is not found in the
Constitution ". (Pg, 103, Bork)
Dworkin, distinguished author of the book titled Life's Dominion,
feels differently than the critics described above. He deems that the
court does in fact have the right to interpret the Constitution. Dworkin
agrees with Justice Blackmun's opinion in this great philosophic .....

Color
Number of words: 374 - Number of pages: 2.... to say that there are roughly seventy-five different cultural backgrounds and probably ten different main sects of religion. But it’s unfortunate that people even today are judged by the of their skin and not the content of their character as Martin Luther King Jr. has said. Even though this is true I feel that it is equally bad that we as a nation group people together stereotyping one person in a group as all the people in a group. So in order to reach new heights as a nation we must come together to show that isn’t everything, and in fact isn’t anything at all.
is also define .....
