Claim Of Policy Essay: Drunk Driving
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. There is, perhaps, nothing more eye opening to the brevity of life than witnessing – or being victim to - an automobile accident, particularly when such a catastrophe is caused by a drunk driver. Not only does it immediately wrench one from the idle comfort that inconspicuously shields people from such harsh reality but if that accident proves fatal to the vehicles driver or passengers, it also makes one realize that the fight against allowing drunk drivers on the road is still a losing battle. While laws exist to severely punish drivers who are driving under the influence of alcohol, they are not strong enough to prevent first-time offenders from getting behind the wheel in the first place, a reality particularly pertinent to adolescent drivers. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Cocaine
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses cocaine and the effects it has had on modern society as well as on individuals. One has to wonder how such a dangerous and
reprehensible substance became so popular. There is apparently only one answer -- it physically delights the
human being. Unfortunately, aside from the price it exacts from people in the havoc it wreaks, it also creates an
out-of-control craving, a mindless compulsion, an irrepressible urge. There are an estimated 4 million chronic
drug users in America and 3.6 million are chronic cocaine users (primarily crack cocaine). Bibliography lists 7
sources.
