Individual work

[edit] Prohibition does not work
A report sponsored by the New York County Lawyers' Association, one of the largest local bar associations in the United States, argues on the subject of US drug policy:
“ Notwithstanding the vast public resources expended on the enforcement of penal statutes against users and distributors of controlled substances, contemporary drug policy appears to have failed, even on its own terms, in a number of notable respects. These include: minimal reduction in the consumption of controlled substances; failure to reduce violent crime; failure to markedly reduce drug importation, distribution and street-level drug sales; failure to reduce the widespread availability of drugs to potential users; failure to deter individuals from becoming involved in the drug trade; failure to impact upon the huge profits and financial opportunity available to individual "entrepreneurs" and organized underworld organizations through engaging in the illicit drug trade; the expenditure of great amounts of increasingly limited public resources in pursuit of a cost-intensive "penal" or "law-enforcement" based policy; failure to provide meaningful treatment and other assistance to substance abusers and their families; and failure to provide meaningful alternative economic opportunities to those attracted to the drug trade for lack of other available avenues for financial advancement.[1]
Moreover, a growing body of evidence and opinion suggests that contemporary drug policy, as pursued in recent decades, may be counterproductive and even harmful to the society whose public safety it seeks to protect. This conclusion becomes more readily apparent when one distinguishes the harms suffered by society and its members directly attributable to the pharmacological effects of drug use upon human behavior, from those harms resulting from policies attempting to eradicate drug use.[2]
With aid of these distinctions, we see that present drug policy appears to contribute to the increase of violence in our communities. It does so by permitting and indeed, causing the drug trade to remain a lucrative source of economic opportunity for street dealers, drug kingpins and all those willing to engage in the often violent, illicit, black market trade.
Meanwhile, the effect of present policy serves to stigmatize and marginalize drug users, thereby inhibiting and undermining the efforts of many such individuals to remain or become productive, gainfully employed members of society. Furthermore, current policy has not only failed to provide adequate access to treatment for substance abuse, it has, in many ways, rendered the obtaining of such treatment, and of other medical services, more difficult and even dangerous to pursue. ”

Pregnancy in older womens

The statistics confirm a phenomenon that has been growing for several years. Pregnancies in women over 35 are increasing year after year, and affect the European countries, notably Spain. Since the late 70s has significantly increased the rate infants born to women 35 to 50 years of age.
A healthy pregnancy depends greatly on the health status of women and the elderly have. If the woman is healthy, will certainly have a good pregnancy. The age limit is important because after 35 years, began the gradual increase risk for Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities.

Considering the risks of pregnancy in women over 35 should be allowed to women 50 or even 60 years to be artificially inseminated?

On the one hand there is the fact that doctors, from a physiological point of view, argue that the best time, the best age for having a baby is between 20 and 30 years. But due to many and varied reasons, women are not wanting or able to follow this account. Having a child at an older age has its advantages, if we start from the point where the woman already has an emotional stability, social and economic so that the mother would have a better economic and employment situation, he knows what he wants and responsibility that is to take care of a child, so it is an aspect that promotes good parenting and child development.
In contrast to the positive aspects presented above, there are several arguments against the pregnancy advanced age. First the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus, such as Down syndrome increases with the passage of years for women. The success rate of pregnancies in women over 40 years is close to 20% or even lower in some cases, compared to 38% per cycle in those with 36 years, according to the experts say. Therefore with increasing age of women, fertility decreases, while increasing almost complications, both in the form of abortions and chromosomal abnormalities of the fetus.
In conclusion, despite the negative aspects that were submitted earlier, the statistics confirm that every year the women take longer to become pregnant, and although the risk is greatest, most pregnancies do not present serious complications during pregnancy or during the birth.
I think the scientific development of the health sciences has helped reduce the risk posed by women who become pregnant and are between 50 and 60 years old, and therefore should not be denied artificial fertilization as a way to have a child.

Causes for the creation of the Internet

The technological development of man and his need to facilitate the development of their daily activities led him to create the Internet, which has allowed a global communication faster, an access to the information agile and development of the economy of the business.
This essay aims to set an example of the three cases that were fundamental in the creation of the Internet.

First referring to the process of communication among people, the Internet emerged as a response to the problems that people had in trying to communicate with each other, especially if they were a several miles away, because the means used up before the creation of the internet presented several problems, such mail could take months to deliver a letter, and the phone was not the appropriate means by which presented exec costs and the difficulty to generate a link that will allow the communication.

The second cause was the need of man to be able to access the information without having to spend hours consulting books or encyclopedias, which would allow him to carry out their studies and research more quickly; man used to take several hours to collect information required, which is currently using the Internet can be done in a few minutes and more effectively.

As a third cause for the development of the internet is the need of human beings to streamline business activities that already existed between businessmen of different countries. It was common to see that business between countries took longer to realize earlier than at present, and to a large extent is due to the limited communication it had among the sides involved.

In conclusion the Internet emerged as a response to emerging needs of man, and has become the media used today, both as to chat with old friends, meet new people, buy or sell goods, conducting business with international and National, among many other uses.

Da Vinci vs Thomas Edison

Since prehistory man has searched for creative solutions to the problems submitted to it every day since the discovery of fire and the invention of the wheel without a number of inventors have arisen in order to give free rein to their creativity, and used to generate an asset to society.
Two inventors m always captured attention, and now I can write about them, I do so with gusto and interest. I am talking about Leonardo Da Vinci and Thomas Edison.
Da Vinci is regarded as the first inventor of important history, as their inventions transcended his time and served as the basis for the development of new technologies even centuries later. Among the inventions of Da Vinci highlights the parachute, the prototype plane, the first tank warfare used by an army.
Leonardo was the largest producer of weapons of war of his era, and despite the fact that never had an interest in the war should comply with the requirements of the reigning emperor and who remained as the sole prisoner and inventor of the king.
Another great inventor but considered the modern era, Thomas Alva Edison. Edison was the first great American inventor, development innumerable inventions among which are the new bulb and the creation of the phonograph, the latter is the basis of modern telephone.
Even thought both were great inventors in his time, clearly differentiate their personalities. Da Vinci was a lonely man, devoted to art and religion; perform works such as "Mona Lisa" and "The last supper", in each of his works could show his love for the Catholic religion and its interest in the creation God.

Moreover Edison was a businessman, and opportunistic worker, was characterized by requiring their employees and have standardized methods for carrying out the work in his company, was a man who always support the system and looking industrialize bourgeois society.
