The church plays an important part for El Salvador in the holidays. On Christmas Eve, they go to Misa de Galo “Rooster’s Mass” in Spanish. The families there have fun going to the special event in church.
One of the reasons we should serve turkey is because a lot of turkey is made every thanksgiving and letting it go to waste would be a sin itself. If you won’t eat it, someone else will. Another reason to eat turkey on Thanksgiving is because it is simply a tradition, maybe not to all, but to my family it is; and it isn’t thanks giving without it. The third and final reason we should be allowed to eat turkey on Thanksgiving
Unfortunately many states have taken the easy road and have become over-reliant on the federal government for support. In return they are forced to relinquish power and freedom. This is one of the “cons” to following the federal mandate of the universal MLDA of 21. The main argument against lowering the MLDA again, is the inevitable rise in drunken driving related deaths. In the 1960’s and 1970’s when many states had lowered the MLDA, besides the rise in drunk-driving deaths, studies showed that people raised from childhood in under-21 states were involved in higher rates of alcohol and drug use as adults, and had a higher rate of homicides and suicides.
There are many ways Meth can be used, in which include smoked, injected, orally ingested, or snorted. When Meth is smoked or injected it causes more of a rush. When it is snorted or taken orally it produces a longer lasting high instead of a rush, which can continue for as long as twelve hours. Both the rush and the high result from the release of very high levels of dopamine into areas of the brain that regulate feelings of pleasure. This is why people become addicted.

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.
I watched Star Wars with my brother -Dave- for the first time one Christmas and from then on we were both hooked. Star Wars on telly at Christmas became our tradition. It was the only thing that was predictable and good; amongst the instability of our family home. It enabled us to escape into our imaginations and to dream about ‘how great life would be’, if the imagination became a reality. Even thinking about Star Wars
These problems include cough and phlegm production, an increase in the number and severity of respiratory illnesses, decreased physical fitness, an unfavorable lipid profile and potential retardation in the rate of lung growth and the level of maximum lung function. An estimated 440,000 Americans die each year from diseases caused by smoking. These illnesses include Lung Cancer, bronchitis, heart diseases, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), and emphysema. As well as, of course, second hand smoking that presents the threat of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Many experts will also tell you second hand smoking is more dangerous than first hand, because of the unfiltered smoke containing 50 more cancerous substances than filtered cigarette smoke.
These effects are not only mental but physical. It starts by releasing large amounts of dopamine into the section of the brain that controls the feeling of pleasure. Methamphetamine “produces the equivalent of 600 times the normal amount of dopamine normally released by the brain during pleasurable events.” (Kelley, 2005, Methamphetamine Abuse.) The effects of meth can last up to 12 hours and the addiction starts and continues because of this high and charged feeling users receive from Meth. Short-term effects can lead to dehydration, irritability, confusion, nervousness, nonstop talking, tremors, convulsions, anxiety, paranoia, and aggressiveness.
When the body detects stress, the SNS is activated which leads to raised heart rate, which leads to higher blood pressure which can lead to Chronic Heart Disease, heart attack, stroke etc. The Beta Blocker is taken then and it acts by reducing activity of adrenaline and noradrenaline and also binds to the receptors of the heart and other areas of the body stimulated by arousal. As a result of blocking these receptors, it is therefore harder to stimulate them and so the heart beat is slowed, and therefore lower blood pressure. A strength of drug treatment is that they are proven to be affective, for example Kahn et al tested 250 participants over 8 weeks, and found that BZs were better than a placebo. The drugs are also very quick and easy to use, and do not require extra effort or stress that could be incurred using other, longer methods of stress management.
