The spread of these diseases among addicts has risen to such an extent that starting in the 80s, some activists and cities began opening needle exchanges. These are government-funded programs that supply clean needles to drug addicts in exchange for their dirty ones, so that they are at a lower risk of sharing needles and spreading diseases. Some people believe that these programs support illegal and illicit behavior, and say that the government should be putting more effort into reducing the use and flow of drugs onto our streets. Needle exchange programs can help benefit society by reducing the risk of diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis, steer addicts in the direction of recovery and help reduce the number of dirty needles discarded on the streets. HIV/AIDS is one of the biggest and baffling diseases our world has to deal with.
Most agree that gun-related injury or death of innocent citizens should never be tolerated, but there are opinions on the course to take in an effort to discover a solution. This paper will offer problems and solutions associated with past and present efforts to manage the issue of gun-related injuries/death. This paper will also render the discoveries and opinions of the above-mentioned group members as it relates to this controversial topic. Stricter gun-control laws do not help prevent gun-related injuries/deaths One method to prevent gun-related injuries/deaths is to make serious efforts to treat depression, mental health issues, and drug abuse in society. A large number of gun-related injuries/deaths are committed by members of society that have untreated disorders and others that simply neglect firearm safety rules and existing gun-control laws.
Debate Paper #4 Safe Injection Facilities Safe Injection Facilities (SIF’s) are legally protected places where drug uses can consume pre-obtained drugs in a non-judgmental environment and receive things like health care, counseling, and referrals to other health and social services including drug treatment. Whether or not these facilities are considered right or wrong, I feel will always remain a complex debate, so coming from a sociologist point of view, it’s only fair to take a look at all the pros and cons of these SIF’s. Safe Injection Facilities definitely have their benefits for drug users and the world around us. One of the main and obvious reasons SIF’s should be considered good is because of why they are even created; to reduce public drug use and reduce the sharing of syringes among local injecting users. The users that start participating in these facilities are now considered “off the street” users or safe users, therefore, reducing public use.
Instead of just throwing criminals away and forgetting about them, a quick glance at any academic article or research studies on this subject makes it painfully clear what needs to be done. More focus must be put on rehabilitation for those willing to be helped rather than blind punishment doled out indiscriminately toward all, and though chemical castration is not a perfect catch-all solution for every sex offender, it's a start. With overall general reduction in recidivism rates in nearly all studies conducted, having it as an option for rehabilitation is a much needed positive step in not only understanding and fixing our recidivism problems regarding sex offenders, but alsop towards the pursuit of justice in our society as a
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.
The wide scope of the Charter, encompassing official language to aboriginal rights, reflects our commitment to social diversity. However, the notwithstanding clause demonstrates that Canada is not completely restricted by the written constitution. The foresight to address the uncertainties of law is a testament to the uniqueness of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In the era of globalization, the extensive movement of people contributes to the creation of an increasingly heterogeneous society. Nationality and citizenship are no longer synonymous with a specific ethnicity.
It is best to consult a doctor before taking supplements because they can interact with medications, causing bad reactions. There are limits on the amounts of supplements a person should consume, and should be followed according to packaging, or your doctor. The FDA does not control supplements, so a person should be careful, and read warning labels before ingesting them. Dietary Supplements
Doctors just are sticking people with shots because they think it’s the right thing for the children. Myself being a parent every time my child has had a shot I had to sign the consent form, I knew that there were risks that could come from my child being vaccinated, but I would rather be “safe” then
Now, when it comes to rehabilitation, the main question that is often heard is whether offender treatment is effective in reducing recidivism and criminal victimization. During the 70’s and 80’s many felt that treatment programs lacked effectiveness in yielding recidivism, but what they failed to realize was that their theories were not up to current knowledge. Many also failed to distinguish between treatment programs that would be effective in circumstances related to the offender. Thus, by 1976 the correctional services went on to establish a newer approach on management of institutions. While sticking to the idea of rehabilitation, the correctional system created training programs that would finally meet provincial standards, and developed work programs that offered offenders an adequate amount of pay as well as incentives to motivate their progress.
Objective elements are the features of negative social conditions that are measurable. These are proven systematic measurements that say that the social condition exists and that it causes harm to people. (Tepperman & Curtis, 2011) There are several facts and statistics that prove that prostitution not only exists but that it causes considerable damage to people. In Canada there is no consensus on how many people are involved in the sex trade industry however the estimate is in the hundreds of thousands. In addition, there is a high correlation between prostitution and substance use disorders, psychological problems, and violence.
