It is obvious that illegal drugs have become a major cause for concern in North America. It is becoming increasingly difficult to fight the war on drugs since many substances are readily available to anyone who can afford them. According to the PFDA, Partnership for a Drug-Free America, the average age teens first use inhalants is thirteen. This statistic is mind-boggling and surely something must be done. Since Canada tends to follow America’s example, the drug problem in the United States affects Canadians as well. What is the clean-cut solution? There are many advocates for drug legalization and many people feel that legalization will end all drug-related crimes. Yet, this issue has been debated to death and there is no need to beat a dead horse. Instead, it is more advantageous to examine the many other viable options, rather than looking at the old argument of drug “legalization.” Therefore, the real question is – “What steps should America take to fix its growing drug problem?” and there are actually five main areas to consider – adolescent drug use, drug offenses/crimes, the drug laws themselves, foreign drug trade, and drug abuse.

November 11th, 2009A wonderful novel of Ernest Hemingway “The Sun Also Rises” is a great story of the post war generation, or so called ‘the lost generation’. This topic was very close to the writer’s soul because he, in person, took part in those historical events and knew exactly all terrible consequences engendered by the World War I. Probably this personal experience explains that vivacity and reality of his characters among which we should put on the first place Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. We cannot analyse or judge about this characters without retrospection to the whole generation of people of their age of that time. Their problems are not unique and concerning only them but if we have a more profound look we will see that so many people suffered from the same or, at least, similar difficulties and, to some extend, their fate is alike and it is quite symbolic because it shows the devastation that reigned in the post war world and in souls of so many people.
Free example essay: Estuary English
September 4th, 2009In the modern world, the question “do you speak English?” is no more a wonder, the whole world tries to learn English, tries to speak English. Even the Englishmen learn how to speak English. However, they learn how to speak properly, how to speak fashionably. Preferably, they learn Estuary English.
Actually, what is Estuary English? Does it really exist? The “founder” of this term, David Rosewarne defines Estuary English as “a variety of modified regional speech, a mixture of non-regional and local south-eastern English pronunciation and intonation.” Because it was observed in the South-East of England, this kind of English pronunciation was probably called after the Thames estuary. Actually, it is not excluded, that this dialect had already existed long before Rosewarne had defined it.
