An Argument for the Legalization of Marijuana
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Although the writer of this essay does not necessarily endorse the use of marijuana, (s)he agrees with the argument that it is politically-incorrect to outlaw it in the United States. Very good points are made from the history of marijuana's existence in the country as well as the similar case of alcohol prohibition during the 1920's. The writer feels that the FDA should regulate the drug so that smokers do not risk using pot that is sneakily mixed with other substances. Medical evidence of marijuana's comparatively mild effects is presented and the report concludes that the negative impacts of marijuana's ban are far worse than those that would prevail if it were allowed to be sold openly and legally. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Medical Marijuana
[ send me this paper ]
The thesis of this 10 page paper is that there is a medical necessity for the legal use of marijuana. There is significant evidence that supports the benefits of THC, a chemical found in marijuana, is beneficial for sufferers of cancer, AIDS and glaucoma. Though THC is available in tablet form, many seriously ill patients cannot take the oral medication, and many complain that the pill is ineffective. If the use of marijuana can significantly reduce the suffering of severely ill individuals, it is a civic and political necessity to promote legal use.

Ethics Of Euthanasia/Physician-Assisted Suicide
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The argument that has sent the world into a tailspin is whether or not people who are suffering from terminal or excruciatingly painful illnesses have the right to take their own lives with the help of physician-assisted suicide. Proponents contend that what one does with one's life is of no consequence to anyone else -- that it is both ethical and humane to allow someone to be relieved of constant discomfort. On the other hand, critics claim that the act of euthanasia is nothing more than a fabricated form of murder. Both sides have pertinent points to ponder when it comes to understanding and assessing the conflict, but euthanasia supporters have a significantly stronger argument. The writer discusses that physician-assisted suicide is not only the right thing to do for someone seeking such a decision, but it is ethical and humane for a physician to abide by the patient's wish.

Affirmative Action's Lack Of Usefulness
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper arguing that any usefulness that affirmative action policies could have claimed in the past have long since been obsolete. When affirmative action policies were instituted, there was little chance that an educated and qualified black man or a woman of any color could break into the corporate world by any means except that of growing their own. After more than 30 years of evolution of the act and of more than enough time in which to judge affirmative action's effectiveness, the only logical conclusion in light of the facts—rather than of rhetoric—is that not only has affirmative action not worked for the black segment of our population for which it was originally intended, it has not worked for any segment of our population.

Nixon’s Failed Attempt at Protecting the O Nixon's Failed Attempt at Protecting the Office of President
[ send me this paper ]
In his Second Watergate Speech of August 13, 1973, President Richard M. Nixon tries to defend his culpability in the Republican Party actions discovered at the Watergate hotel and resultant impending impeachment by way of arguing for protection of the Office of the President by preventing certain aspects of the investigation through use of his power as president of the United States. This argument fails by virtue of the fact that, being under investigation for illegal acts, he is not in a position of protecting that office and his speech does not succeed in regaining that authority, making it a non-viable defense for his personal involvement in the Watergate activity. 2 works cited. jvNixonm.rtf

“Afrocentric Escapism”: A Review of an Article by Commentator Thomas Sowell
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page review of an article published in the April 14, 1995 edition of “The Washington Times” entitled “Afrocentric Escapism”. Sowell explores what he perceives as the creation of false history and tradition in the African American community. Sowell explains this practice as having evolved out of the dire need to escape the multitude of very real problems which are confronting the community. While the solution to such problems lies in education and the acquisition of job skills, those who are recreating the so-called black experience are instead focusing the attention of their young followers on the problems of the past. Includes many insights on the misperceptions of slavery itself. No additional sources are listed.
