When an individual puts others in danger because of their freedom they have abused their autonomy and should not be tolerated. If an individual’s drinking habits and drug addiction causes direct harm to other individual, their natural born rights should still be respected but they should be punished by the legal system. After being legally punished, if a drug addict or an alcoholic does not seek treatment and would like to maintain their current lifestyle, they should not have to be forced to get treatment. Just because someone is addicted to drugs or they are alcoholics does not essentially mean they are not capable of making rational decisions for
On the other hand, other coworkers would not report her so, they could have power over her by blackmailing but this action is against American Correctional Association Code of Ethics, as well. “Members shall treat every professional situation with concern for the welfare of the individuals involved and with no intent to personal gain,” suggesting they are not treating coworkers with respect but to only achieve ‘personal gain’. This action breaks the creed which every correction officer protects which is un-honorable. I believe the best decision is to report her this action will protect myself as well as her in future altercations legally or dealing with
Jodie Kaser English Composition II 707 Kathleen Gallgher 04-01-2013 Title?!?! When I first thought up my topic I was all for drug testing welfare recipients. If you can be drug tested to work for your money then there should be no problem being drug tested to receive "free” money as well. However, the more I read into the topic I realize that drug testing welfare recipients is not only a violation of the 4th amendment, but based on stereotypes, expensive, and ineffective compared to other treatments as well. Drug testing innocent welfare recipients violates a person’s rights under the 4th amendment.
The problem with this lies in that others may commit fraud or continue to commit fraud because they know the company won’t prosecute. Law enforcement officials could make it a law that companies have to come forward when they are aware of fraud and prosecute the perpetrator. Another thing that can be done, since companies are afraid of this being public, law enforcement can make it more private. If employees know this is implemented, then they will be less likely to commit
In my opinion, panhandling should be legal. If there is someone being an aggressive panhandler, they should be fined or imprisoned for harassment, not panhandling. People that are in need of money for food, rent, personal hygiene products and other things that are important, should be able to freely sit or stand with a sign asking for money. If someone does not want to give to them, they should accept that and not beg them to give them some money. Tourists normally look down on panhandlers because they do not like to be harassed while they are on vacation.
Taking away people’s right to own firearms, as Dwyer notes, is a calculated move aimed at leaving the people with no free will. Americans are no longer safe because Liberalism and its ideologies has done away with the safety measures that were aimed at keeping criminals in jail, deporting illegal migrants who are known for their unlawful activities and ensuring that mental patients remain in hospitals. These people are now freely loaming the streets, endangering people’s lives and instead of preventing and stopping this from happening, the government is only keen at imposing the gun-control law on law-abiding citizens. Crime rates are rising, many people have died in the recent years and people need to protect themselves from these criminals but with the gun control laws, no one will be
America’s war on drugs can be won and drugs can be eliminated forever. People have to be cautious and not talk to shady strangers because they might be trying to sell you something illegal. People can avoid drugs and sorts of illegal things by becoming more knowledgeable on the subject. The law enforcement, anti-drug groups, or anybody can help eliminate by raising more awareness. They should spread the word and tell people taking drugs is against the law or that drugs are bad for your health or even that drugs can make you go bankrupt.
Citizens that pay taxes right now are supporting the people that receive Medicare and Medicaid. Accepting the cost of the reform bill is better than allowing millions of Americans to continue to go without health insurance coverage. “With the cost and employment trends working against us, we need to recognize the failure of healthcare in America for the crisis that it is” (Witherbee). If there is a reasonable alternative for the United States to get out of health care debt, it would have happen years before the bill passed in
The lock-in program would help lower the amount of people abusing prescription medication. The lock-in program would also ease the minds of physicians and pharmacists who are fighting a constant battle of keeping track of patients on controlled medications. Even though Americans will pay taxes on Medicaid regardless, many people would feel more at ease knowing their money wasn’t going toward funding the habits of drug abusers. Any patient that seeks assistance from Medicaid should be entered into the lock-in program to help lower the amount of controlled substance abuse, to ease the minds of doctors and pharmacists, and to ensure American tax dollars are spent more
There are many ways in which prescription fraud can occur. Because of the plethora of ways, pharmacists must be alert and responsible in their actions. Many seem to believe that electronic prescribing has been found to reduce the number of errors and statistics and data reflects that. America cannot be ignorant in this matter. The new electronic system not being implemented is like going through life with a contagious deadly disease, you have the money for the cure, but yet you complain, sulk, and feel sorry for yourself instead of going to get the cure.
