* Equity affects nearly all aspects of our lives none less than sports such as beach volleyball. Sport is an integral part of today’s society and as such, sport should be organised, participated in and distributed in an equitable manner.The aim of equity in sports is to encourage all people, regardless of age, gender, disability or ethnic origin to participate in and develop their potential within sport.

The documentary points to a company called Pharma Purdue, which seemed to have caused a momentum in drug addictions and deaths, after releasing a drug called Oxycontin (Oxycodone). Originally it was pushed as a pain medication, supposedly not as addictive as other pain medications. "Oxycontin was not really a new drug. The molecule has been around since 1916. What they did is, they took this old extinct drug, and they introduced a time release mechanism into it so that it would be significantly less addictive because it wouldn 't be released upfront, all at once. That’s how they pitched it to the FDA" (Katherine Eban, Fortune).

Quinton Figueroa explains how Hitler wasn’t actually a bad guy, he wasn’t even a good guy, he was a really great guy, especially based on American standards today. Why is Figueroa calling Hitler a great guy? Well, naturally people place labels on things without thinking about what’s underneath, this is considered mislabeling. If you conduct research, you’ll actually find that most of the Jews were moving to America to look for better jobs, there was six million Jews, only a couple thousand were actually in camps. Most of people in camps were Germans who committed crimes. Nevertheless, have you ever heard about the idea which something changes after it’s said fifty times? It was like that.

The perfect product to sell is one that the customer is willing to pay any price to get. Another growing trend of Methamphetamine manufacture is that of the “one pot” method (Corporal McClung). This method acquires its name due to the one pot that is required to produce the drug.

The surrounding area is negatively affected, and even hazardous, for a considerable amount of

The topic of the article is just not very interesting. The reason it wasn’t interesting is because it is just something I couldn’t really relate to or would want to read about in the future.

It seems to me that he loses track of his main idea near the end. It seems like he was running out of stuff to say so he just put in filler things which takes away from the article. It would have been better for him to end the article earlier than to have done this.

Drugs and alcohol have played a role in American society for many years. There is, however, a wider variety of drugs available today than ever before and with this wider variety there comes a wider range of addictive qualities and health related risks that individuals who take these drugs are subjected. Habit forming drugs were introduced into American society as far back as the 1700's. These drugs were widely used for "medicinal" purposes without any knowledge of their addictive properties and the health risks involved with taking them. One such drug, Laudanum, a drug containing opium, was widely available in the 1700's and in the 1800's there were many products readily available that contained ingredients such as
