Decriminalization and Legalization of Marijuana By: Nicholas J. Howerton Possession of a small amount of marijuana should not only be decriminalized but legalized for a multitude of reasons. First the decriminalization of marijuana would reduce the overcrowding in our courts and give much needed relief to a strained police force. Plus the legalization of marijuana would open a whole new job market. The positive impact on the Canadian economy would increase the standard of living across the country. The decriminalization of marijuana would be a positive step for the Canadian government but the legalization of marijuana would do much more for this country and its people.
For the past years, there are many cases where children, at an early age steal things from other people. There are also cases when children are either left or are given for adaption because their parents don’t want them to experience extreme poverty and so they think that giving them to others is the best way for the children to have better future. Some of them are being a parent to their siblings because they were left by their parents. What is the impact of poverty on the rest of us, in the middle class and in the upper class? Why should we need to know about this?
The disorganization is created from poor families whom remain single raising children which affect positive abilities to ward off potential hazards related to illegal business operations. This type of action affects communities by organized crime employing most of the population and creating a currency surplus through illegitimate activities occurring in communities or
Canadian Poverty and Equal Distribution Angela Hormaza BA – Section F Economics October 14, 2011 Poverty can affect all age groups. Poverty is the state of lacking resources that provide people with basic necessities, or that force people to go without certain needed things like three meals a day or shelter. Yet it should be understood that people can still have some of these things, like a roof over their heads, and not enough of other things, like food or money to seek proper medical treatment. When we think about poverty, we automatically think of third world countries, such as Africa, Colombia and Cuba, within many others. But the sad truth is that many Canadians struggle with poverty every day.
As Canadian citizens and by moral obligation, children deserve and have the right to live an abuse free, healthy life. What is child abuse? Over the years many people have argued on what is considered child abuse. A popular topic of discussion is spanking. Where some believe spanking is a form of abuse, others believe it is simply a harsher form of punishment.
Foster Care does more harm than good Foster Care is a system established to enhance the lives of children without stable homes to reside in. I have friends and associates that have been raised in an unstable institution, group home, or private foster care home. I don’t believe that all children that come from a foster care situation end up becoming delinquents to our society. I think most foster care children don’t feel loved and appreciated, this could be a result of why foster children don’t demonstrate much love and affection towards their foster parents. In this discussion I want my audience to understand how unstable our foster care system is these days.
Children’s Employment Commission 1842 - AINUL FARHANA - W14041805 Introduction A critical reflection on exploring the archive material adds to my understanding of the contemporary concepts of childhood in many ways. From reading the Children’s Employment Commission report 1842, I can see how children were treated in the past and how the situation changed after Lord Shaftesbury came. In the back at nineteenth century, children were thought of being very evil who had no rights and who are without any education. There were many reasons behind why they were treated that way. Content From the mining report I understand that the welfare of the children during the Victorian time was poor because children had to go out to work.
If a child has a family who lives in poverty this may affect delinquency if the child comes from a family with little to no education. If a child comes from a family who is poverty stricken and they live in a low income neighborhood surrounded by violence or criminal acts that’s all they are learning to do. If a child sees a parent, sibling, cousin and so on selling drugs they may be influenced to sell drugs also. If the people in the child’s family are not setting good examples the child is observing their behavior and will most likely will repeat the behavior. Broken homes contributed to delinquent behavior and the child is more susceptible to antisocial behavior.
‘The Cause and Effect of Poverty in the UK’ Poverty People don’t always understand the causes and effects of this so called ‘poverty’ so that’s why I’m going to explain it. A simple definition of poverty would be; “The state of being extremely poor/ the state of being inferior in quality or insufficient in amount.” Poverty is often highlighted as humans not been able to obtain compulsory features of life such health care, education and in some cases, the essential needs such as water, warmth and shelter. Millions and millions of people, as well as children, face these problems on a daily basis in the UK. Just to get an exact number of these ‘millions’, a study said 2.2 million children and two million working age adults were living in absolute poverty in 2009-10! Causes and effects of Poverty A starting point for causing poverty can be as simple as early age pregnancies.
Family Life and Juvenile Delinquency Researchers have established that there many paths to juvenile delinquency and numerous risk factors that contribute to a youth’s opportunity to offend. The environment in which a child is raised plays a very crucial role in predicting their behaviour in adolescence and subsequent, in adulthood. Delinquency and criminal behaviour typically begin in the home and continue into society. Many modern criminologists argue that youth’s who were deprived of parental warmth and affection had weak family and social bonds and tended to develop a set of beliefs that were negative and hostile towards society (Walsh, 1991). Furthermore, child maltreatment is a consequential social problem.
