Persuasive Essay On Drug Testing

In two thousand and twelve more than one-fifth of the U.S. population, or 52.2 million people, received some kind of means-tested public assistance every month. How many of those recipients do you think are using the assistance for illegal substances? Seven states already have welfare recipients drug testing to keep their benefits. These seven states include Utah, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Welfare drug testing is an officiant way to make sure the aid is being used properly. Although most people pass the drug tests, some also fail. Those failing people then lose their aide. Welfare money is not for drugs, it's for keeping up with your bills and families needs. Welfare recipients should have to be drug tested to continue getting their assistance.

Drug testing has been going on for a long time and they have been used for different occupations. They have been used for teachers, medical jobs, and even jobs people wouldn't think had to have drug tests. The sad thing is they are using them on students. When a person uses drug tests on students for no apparent reason, that's just basically torturing them. This is occurring all throughout America and is really pointless. A child would not want some person they don't really know seeing their personal information and knowing if they are guilty or not. Having drug tests for student athletes is not beneficial because of the Extreme Cost, the Mental Health Effects, and the Fourth Amendment.

The solution to this issue is to not do drugs, no matter how much peer pressure there is. If you don't do drugs, there is no reason to flip out or be mad that it's breaking your constitutional rights like I said previously. If your kid has a serious drug addiction go to a therapist or a doctor and get them on the right path for

A client was asked to take a drug test for his company that he has worked at for 15 years. My client’s job entails him to inspect finished products for the company. When the client was hired he was not hired under the pretensions of drug testing. When the employee refused to take the drug test he was fired. A similar case was experienced in California. Barbara Luck sued her ex-employer, where she had worked at for six years, Southern Pacific Transportation Company (SPT) for firing her over refusing to take a drug test. When it went to court Luck was awarded $485,000 in damages. The jury had to decide whether the obligations Mrs.Luck was conducting in her everyday job duties could be considered to have an effect on the safety of others, for

I am going to talk about drugs and athletes and the different drugs they use to development of their body. One drug they use is steroids. I am going to prove that they should have to take the drug tests, that way the playing field is fair for everyone. Also a lot of kids have athletes as their role model. Most of the drugs they are taking are steroids which are illegal. I hope that I learn why athletes use steroids. That steroids are a horrible drug to use. Athletes and drug tests, the reason I am researching this is so the playing field between the players is fair.

Forcing students to participating in these tests aren’t in fact a total positive on their lives. Many student athletes may feel separated from their peers because of these tests, which could very well end their continuation in athletics. In an article placed by the American Liberty Civils Union, stated that singling out students isn’t really fair. Think About it; Enforcing a rule on those who want to do what they love, only by giving up what they love. My argument is not that students love drugs, ironically, their addiction leads to bondage. The impulse of testing may in fact cause students to indulge in their substance use even further, and end their goals in athletics if necessary. All things considered, this doesn’t justify the actions taken. While a percent of students may be in the category described, a larger portion can be benefitted by the testing. It is even said in the same article that, “Mandatory drug tests are constitutional for after school sports and other extracurricular activities”(ACLU: KnowYourRights 3). To end drug usage in sports, can very well lead to the end of drug usage in the student body as a

“Why aren’t you doing softball this year? You're the best player on the team and your batting average is almost perfect!” I asked. “They did drug tests and I failed mine, so I can’t play this season.” I herd under a mumbled breathe. I shouted, “that is why schools should not have drug tests, they are restraining great athletes from doing what they do best! You have great grades, participate in extracurricular activities, and even help with food pantries outside of school so why would they be punishing you for this?” Schools should not be drug testing student athletes for these reasons: drugs do not determine the way students play, forbids them from playing a sport they like or are good at, and it restricts some students from participating in extracurricular activities because they are scared they might get drug tested.

After analyzing the various sources I have determined it is not cost effective to require drug testing for welfare applicants and recipients. Before I go into my reasoning I want to give a little history on why the welfare system was put into place. The British poor laws were in place before the Welfare system as we know was adapted. These laws were in place top distinguish what people were unable to work due to various reasons and who was able to work but just could not find employment. One that fell into this category received assistance either cash or others forms of help. All through the 1800's the government attempted to reconstruct how they dealt with the poor. The idea was to assist the poor while helping them move to their independence.

Roughly a thousand of student athletes in Beaufort County public schools. Were randomly tested for and counted for drugs. In and about, merely twenty three were accounted for being positive. Having some parents to take over their child’s legal rights that were wrongly being broken off. Putting their fourth and fifth amendment in danger, knocking them to feel unsecured and a intrusion in their property. This is no way to treat athletes in this situation, they should be always on their game and not no drug test. Especially giving out over thirty test out per month, hurting the schools if given a bad report. At any rate not, nor should a mandatory drug test should not be given out roughly thirty times. But only convincing parent or their child

The world of professional sports is changing. This radical change has been brought about by one simple factor: invasive testing. Athletes are now subject to advanced screening and probing before they are even permitted to play for the team. Naturally, two distinct opinions arise: those in favor of this screening, and those who believe it is a major invasion of personal privacy. Despite the claim that athletes must comply with their employer’s demands, drug testing poses a threat because it affects the privacy of athletes, as well as that of the general public.

For the past 60 years drugs have found the mainstream among teenagers, especially ages 14-19. High schoolers often delve themselves into the use of drugs shortly after starting high school. Often pressured to do it by upper classmen. Whether it is marijuana, LSD, Ecstasy, or MDMA, kids will experiment with them. Schools all across the USA are drug testing students at random times throughout the school year, and are putting kids into trouble that do not deserve it! Students should only be drug tested if they are in possession of an illegal drug, or are not sober at the time school is taking place.

The booklet Making Sense of Student Drug Testing: Why Educators Are Saying No shares the opinions of the authors the Drug Policy Alliance and the American Civil Liberties Union based on what they gathered through their research. Although the booklet covers several topics including it being ineffective and legally risky I’m going to focus on cost. Before drug testing used to be targeted towards athletes, but now it's being considered for all students. Just like with learning one method can’t be effective for all

It seems that drugs have become a major epidemic within teenagers in the last few years. There is only so much that can be done to try and eliminate drug use, while not dramatically changing anything in the community. Drug testing the district’s student athletes provides many reasons that it is a worthwhile expense. Lawyers, Mark Vetter and Daniel Chanen, stated in the Sports Law Institute Newsletter “First, student-athletes were the leaders of the drug culture” (Vetter and Chanen ¶3). This simple statement proves that athletes need to be drug tested; it will improve multiple circumstances within the district and the lives of athletes. Drug testing student athletes at the high school level is a step every school district needs to take in order to improve their schools, and the students’ lifestyles despite the high price tag on these tests.

Because the World State doesn't want its citizens to cope with reality or other factors, Opiates and soma subdue the citizens’ thoughts, resulting in a stable, adjective society. The challenge of facing reality for some is to grave, in order to combat this many will turn to drugs in order to relieve their stress.Drug use is controversial within society that affects the decisions and lifestyle of those who use them.Society and science has advanced far enough where drugs can be so important in one's life that it triumphs any other being in one's life.

Imagine walking into work and seeing a new co-worker acting weird, or precisely showing signs of drug use and to have no clue about it. Is it not that person’s right to know that he/she will be sharing the same environment as someone who frequently practices drug use? On the other hand, The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) recognizes that addictions to drug and alcohol are considered ‘disabilities,’ meaning those who practice drug and alcohol use are in their right to not be discriminated or judged based on their ‘disability’ and instead accommodated. This issues remains controversial to this day since every organization or individual has its own situation that emphasis drug tests and their repercussions differently. Some organizations just simply cannot be bothered to spend time and money on drug tests while others have a hard time drawing the line between what are the ethical approaches to positive drug tests. Currently, random testing of current staff in an organization without an approved written drug policy is not legal and will not be upheld by courts in Canada. This was settled by the Supreme Court in June of 2013. However, pre-employment testing of job candidates should be allowed in the workplace and be upheld by courts at any time as it is the utilitarian practice for any organization and its stakeholders.
