Reading Assessment for America’s Unjust Drug War by Michael Huemer In America’s Unjust Drug War, author Michael Huemer, a philosophy professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, expresses his opinion that illegal drug laws are seriously unjust because they violate a person’s natural right to control their own body. Huemer gives the viewpoint of both sides of this issue by examining the arguments that would be made by Prohibitionists and Legalizers. He focuses on three very prominent arguments in the debate for drug legalization. First, he brings forth the argument that drugs should be outlawed because they cause harm to the drug user. He dismisses this argument by listing other activities that could be harmful to an individual such as smoking tobacco, riding motorcycles, and having unprotected sex.

Such circumstances are enough to set people off by itself, but Twain goes one step further to show the malice of the time, stereotyping a race. The thought of explaining Mark Twain’s book to students is enough to make most teachers shutter because of the ferocity of actions taken against those who cannot properly present the information. However, it is their job to introduce students to a true literary work of art. If we have no faith in our educators, then we lose hope in future generations’ capacity to judge right from

This is why as African Americans, we hate to see each other make it because; it creates a false sense of superiority. For example with education I’m better then you or in other situations.

I just felt more directed and less distracted by rogue thoughts, less day-dreamy, (3)” said a Joshua Foer, a journalist who, after consulting many physicians, decided to try Adderall for himself.

Deviancy and drug use go hand in hand. In fact, many consider drugs to be one of the main gateways to some of the worst kinds of deviant behavior, aside from the actual usage of drugs. When I say drugs, I’m talking not only prescription, but synthetic drugs as well, which have now become an apparent issue in smaller towns as opposed to big cities. The key link between drug usage and deviancy is mainly based off of one’s personal perception of what they deem “deviant” and what the user deems “deviant.” But the most deviant factor of all is the fact that is these drugs become so widespread in such a small area, that you have an abundance of negative potential just waiting to go off like a time-bomb. The big problem as of lately with drug usage and small towns, is that the drugs are cheap to boost profit, meaning that the lower price may have a consequence of a more harmful substance, due to certain products being cut with cheaper, more harmful chemicals.
