Similarly, the use of scare tactics, such as pictures of overdoses, has failed to bring about reductions in drug use. Instead, an alternative approach is to encourage harm minimisation. This approach accepts that people will engage in risky behaviour and tries to reduce the health risks by encouraging users to take the drug safely. For example, the provision of needle exchanges means that addicts do not share injecting equipment; this dramatically reduces the risk of getting blood infections such as hepatitis or HIV and AIDS. Another way of reducing the potential harm to intravenous drug users is to provide medically controlled drugs as a substitute for street drugs.
With life expectancy rates only at a young 45 and one in five children dying before they even reach 5, our greenhouse gas emissions and gas usage is not making anything better but actually helping cause deaths, as well as food and water shortage which are leading to more starvation and poverty. In reality the “westerners” greenhouse gas and gasoline usage is not only effecting the climate changes but is also gaming
This means the government does not see the need to have as many fire men/women and therefore made many redundant and closed down fire stations in order to save money. This has caused an upset, both with fire men and women local residents as they believe the service times may increase as there is not as many available in comparison to before the redundancies. The same can be said about the police force, there has been a vast decrease between the amount of people the police force take on and train and allow to become a member of the police force as they simply cannot take on the amount that may be needed due to government cutbacks and financial policies. However, a positive affect that can be said about financial policies that result on cutbacks for public services could be that as money is saved for example in reducing the amount of fire stations and fire men/women, the money could be invested in an alternative public service such as the paramedic service or the NHS in order to
Water Bottle Argument The use of bottled water is a controversial topic. Some people claim that water bottles are bad for the environment. They tend to focus on the waste of producing and disposing bottles and also how transporting the bottles can cause many inefficiencies. It has even been said to drink tap water in order to save money and the planet. These facts are based off the estimate made by The Earth Policy Institute which stated that about 1.5 million barrels of oil are used to make water bottles each year when instead this oil could be used to fuel about 100,000 cars.
The mix should have a sufficient initial impact and long term viability on sales so as to recover CSP initial investment of $400 million in 10 years. In 2005 the overweight U.S. population was about 209 million Americans. Competitors in the weight loss drugs included Alli, which was an over-the-counter drug with FDA approval, all other competitors were herbal or dietary supplements thus not regulated by any governing body. The legal and social climate at the time was not in favor of the drug industry. As a whole this industry was tagged with deceptive advertising because side effects where not known until after the product reached the market, thus this translated to low credibility from consumer’s and the professional medical community perspective.
Homelessness has decreased since 2007 (Katel).Katel understands that there are still a huge amount of homeless people in the United States so if minimum wage increases in 2007 potentially helped homelessness back then, then why wouldn't increasing it even more decrease homelessness. Experts agree that poverty is directly related to homelessness he goes on to say. Unemployment and low incomes are one of the main reasons for homelessness in the U.S. (Katel).He also states that housing the unemployed is not the best option because its possible that they would use the house as an advantage for drugs. As a result minimum wage increase could help homelessness rate in the United States. A counter is that, “it would lead employers to automate workplaces and reduce job opportunities for the lowest-skilled workers, while doing nothing to reduce poverty” (Mantel) In other words, It would make employers reduce their workforce which would overall increase unemployment (Mantel).
In 2000 there was a vaccine shortage because quality control issues caused a 6-8 week delay in vaccine delivery. That year supplies were distributed unevenly and prices doubled as a cause of the perceived increase in demand. In 2001 only about two thirds of the produced doses were available at the beginning of the flu season. Then again in 2003 the amount of vaccine supplied did not meet the demand for vaccinations because 4 million doses were destroyed and 87 million were inappropriate for that season’s flu strain. Not taking any action in this case has proven to be a bad decision as was quickly learned in 2004.
Although legalization activists and marijuana supporters believe that hemp is completely safe, scientific research shows that marijuana can cause health problems. When marijuana is smoked it instantly affects the body, and last approximately one to three hours. When consumed in food, it takes more time to affect the body. Short term effects cause distorted perception (sight, touch, sound and time), problems with memory and learning, loss of coordination, trouble solving problems, anxiety, fear, and panic. The long term affects causes the heart to beat 20 to 50 beats per minute.
Also, depending on the industry, in order to give consumers the low prices that they hold as the Holy Grail manufacturers often have to give up the quality of the product. I have worked in retail for over ten years and I see this on a daily basis. People get upset when their $12 flip flops blow out, but when you show them the $50 flip flops that come with a 5 year warranty, most of the time they want nothing to do with it. Fashion of course is an industry that doesn’t make items obsolete, but things simply go out of style. But once again, the fashion retail industry doesn’t force people to go out and buy the latest trends.
