Group Presentations Day 2

As I listened to the last of the groups present their topics, I was interested to learn more about such topics. For instance, I feel that the presentation about rape awareness is significant considering the dramatic increase of rape victims in our country. There is only so little our law enforcement can do to prevent rape in our high schools, colleges and in the community. The video for the group was really touching and had a lot of emotions put into the video, which made me understand how important this problem is. I was particularly interested in the group trying to legalize drugs. In a way, I can understand the negative standpoint on this issue such as age, because the government could not handle 13 year olds using drugs on a daily basis. However, the prince that people have to pay to keep drugs illegal is nearly $600 a day according to the group members. The guys in the group believe that the government could control drug problems easier. The jails could have a dramatic decrease of inmates due to the fact that many people who illegally sell and do drugs would no longer have to worry. Obviously, there are pros and cons to this debate. Overall, I was interested to hear this presentation because I have never really heard anything in the news about legalizing drugs.
