The Deadly Social Cloud

The campaign educates the smoker who is trying to quick with advice which will give them a clear understanding on how their health is at risk and the consequences that it will have

To punish based on intent only would infringe on the personal freedom of thought and feeling, and would invade a citizen’s right to private thought. However, if inchoate crimes are not adequately dealt with, then a significant deterrent and failsafe for the more innocent attempts would lose a heavy amount of significance and the general populace might be in greater danger. Criminal attempts should be punished to protect the general public’s well-being and corral the potential offender’s willingness to harm another’s civil liberties, but the severity of the attempt and the reason for its failure should have weight when considering the level and severity of the attempt’s corresponding punishment, though they should not match a completed crime’s

The article, A ‘Virtual Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free Card,’ takes a distinctive approach on the proposition’s effect on crime and individuals who commit such. This article discusses the negative effects proposition has on delinquent individuals who have come to continue their unlawful acts as the merciful proposition has led these individuals to become less fearful of the consequences of their actions. This position is best summarized in the words of Shelley Zimmerman, a San Diego police chief who claimed the penalties under this proposition are, “ a slap on the wrist the first time and the third time and the 30th time, so it’s a virtual get-out-of-jail-free card.”

Public smoking has been an issue for people who do not take part in the smoking epidemic for as long as smoking has been around. What people need to understand is that individuals who do not engage in the activity of ruining their lungs are being forced into the act of involuntary smoking rather they like it or not, and that is unacceptable.

In theory, the threat of jail time acts as a deterrent because of the punitive nature of jail. Going to jail may create a number of problems—loss of income and possible loss of the job itself, difficulty with finding another job, family disruption, social stigma, loss of peer associations, violence and stress, lack of treatment for physical and

Could be due to a number of reasons, but a prominent one could be the aggravator’s repulsion of their living conditions and uncaring nature of the life or property of others. Past experiences or trauma such as emotional or physical abuse may also play a role in their actions and violence against others.

Like California, many other states have the “three strikes” rule and one of every nine of the inmates who are on their third strike get 25 to life sentence (Haerens, M., 2010, May 15). This rule contributes to the overcrowding issue which an individual is taking up more space in jails and prisons. For example, if a person is charged three times with felony drug trafficking and is convicted that would be the third offence and would serve twenty-five year to life in jail. A violent offender, like a murderer, could that the place of that individual and rot in jail and make the community safer, it is the lesser of two evils.

A prisoner’s life consists of twenty-three hours per day in a tiny, empty concrete cell, with one hour of daily exercise in a small concrete swimming pool; they have no access to other inmates, and only rare contact with guards, who say nothing to them; they can see nothing of the outside world except a tiny sliver of sky. The death penalty as punishment is an unnecessary threat compared to the dullness of what prison life is like.

The rapid growth of technology in our society has become more dominant than it was in the 17th and 18th century. Today, technology is used for almost everything in our day to day lives. But the most common usage of technology is for communication and industrialization. However, every good thing has its disadvantage if it is over used, and since technology has become very dominant, it is used by both young and older people but more predominant among the youth of the today. Even more, technology has brought about social networking such as Facebook, Twitter, my space, piazza.com, instagram, tango, and last but not the least texting. According to socialnetworking.procon.org, “47% of American adults used social networking sites like

Some people feel that our society is moving toward regarding cigarette smoking as deviant. Before determining whether it is true or not, there is a need to define what is deviant. According to the Oxford dictionary (2008), deviant means “different from what most people consider to be normal and acceptable” (p. 547). What does it mean? To tell what is deviant and how to determine if an act is deviant, different scholars would use different approaches, for example: biological, psychological, and sociological. In this paper, I would like to focus on the sociological theories.

Although there are not victims in this type of crime, there is nevertheless a threat to the public interest in some cases of these crimes. There is therefore a formal legal framework to prevent or prohibit such crimes.

In society many people are debating whether or not victimless crimes are harmful. Some people believe there are “true” victims and particular consequences should follow. Others believe these crimes are wrong in terms of their morality. The history of victimless crimes, the type of crimes, and society’s view on these crimes can offer evidence as to why these types of crimes are morally wrong and should be decriminalized. This paper demonstrates that victimless crimes are morally wrong rather than harmful.

It is estimated that 36.5 million adults smoke in the United States of America (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). A cigarette contains 7,000 chemicals and 70 of those can cause cancer (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). When someone decides to smoke a cigarette, they are not only choosing to allow those toxins into their body but are imposing all those same toxins on anyone around them. Secondhand smoke is the combination of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke breathed out by smokers and is considered more dangerous then smoking the cigarette (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). Every year 480,000 people in the United States of America die because of cigarette smoking, which is the leading cause of preventable disease and death. Why has this deadly habit become such a casual part of the American life? This habit is not only harmful to the person smoking, but is hurting everyone around them. It may be their decision to smoke and cause damage to their own bodies but when they decide to smoke in public they are infringing on the rights of everyone around them right to protect their health. Smoking should be made illegal because it is not only harmful to the smokers but also causes harm to fetuses in utero, developing children and any other adults who may breathe that smoke in.
