The results they concluded from their experiments are not only important to the general public, but are also important to me personally.

Bullying is one of the leading causes in teen suicide today. People bullied in the past or present have been studied and it has shown that they have a lower quality of life.

Other researcher would say it is probably safe to say the better focus is the different causes and entire approach to bullying. Researchers need to focus more into the intervention regardless of the plan of action, the age of the adolescents and social awareness.

In order to more effectively address the growing problem of the ‘war on drugs,’ many countries are striving to decriminalize or legalize drugs such as marijuana, considered to be less harmful than other, more dangerous and addictive drugs. Marijuana is currently classified as a Class C drug in the United States, the inclusion of marijuana in the ‘war on drugs’ has not provided the kind of results expected. Rather than eliminating undesirable drugs from the streets, the war on drugs has had the effect of increasing the level of violence in the drug trade, encouraged the development of organized crime, filled prison cells to unprecedented and beyond capacity levels, consumed huge amounts of government capital and yet has done very little to reduce the presence of these drugs within the general population or the numbers of people who make use of them. More recent theories have suggested that legalizing, or at least decriminalizing, lesser drugs such as marijuana may be a more effective approach as a means of reducing levels of violence, decrease incarceration, allow more individuals to remain productive members of society, and make more resources available to combat more harmful substances and criminals. To more fully understand the issue, available literature and theory regarding the topic of legalization will be examined as well as the results of decriminalization in those pockets of government where it’s been allowed and compare these to drug-related crime and possible
In Walt Whitman’s elegy, “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d,” the speaker, through the employment of circle and life-death archetypes, shifts from a tone of overwhelming grief over Lincoln’s death to one of acceptance. In the beginning of the poem, Whitman expresses his fondness for lilacs, a symbol of life, and describes his mourning during the cyclical “ever-returning spring.” This shows a deliberate contrast between his sorrow over the “powerful western fallen star,” which represents Lincoln and his death, and the idea of the return (or rebirth) of spring. This perspective changes, however, in the fifth stanza. He refers to “Death’s outlet song of life,” suggesting that he is beginning to regard death as a necessary part of life.
