Marijuana


Marijuana is one of the dangerous drugs today. What we know about marijuana is that it is a plant that burning it you smoke it and when it smokes the drug get in to your body and affects your brain and then you feel like different but it relax you and make you say things crazy it really have a big effect and like all people say it gets you high. In most places in the World like Ámsterdam marijuana is legal to be sell but in other places its illegal. I think marijuana should not be legal in all places in the world and specially in my country Honduras it is a type of drug that can kill you and with one try it might ruined your life. Marijuana can cause society to be stupids and lazy and thinking that the Only way to find a solution for there problems is getting pot. Marijuana may damage peoples life they can be so high that they Could put there life in danger doing things without thinking like driving high or fighting to be killed. I think marijuana should not be legal in Honduras it would be a worse place of what it all ready is it can make society go into a place where there will no be discipline. Burning a plant may have a lot of bad chemical in it and then when it is inhalated in gives you chemicals in your body anthen you might dye. In my opinion the marijuana is a very difficult drug to stop using it because the sense that it gives you the person will like it and be confortable of smoking marijuana. Marijuana cant be legal in conclusion I like how the law is established in the country where all those drugs are illegal.

The results of fear




After watching many videos of the mara salvatrucha we can see that fear is a major and important part when you are watching those gangs. The mara salvatrucha is one of the biggest gangs hear in Latin America that is Mexico central America and part s of the united states they are the best gang. Fear plays a very important role in this gangs when the mara salvatrucha wants to give fear they start painting the walls from the streets with strange messages that can give you fear. They might give fear by how they look there physical appearance they use a lot of tattoos there cloth is like some of them dirty others are ripped some of them use strange signs with there hands like signals or the way they talk they have code words that only they know what it is. In this gangs when the fear starts is when they go assault someone because they want something but if the person don’t want to give them what they want they killed that person so theres where the fear starts in the community because they are demonstrating that they are really dangerous and they whant to give fear so people from the city strats getting fear so they start driving with the windows closed other people always look around an see if there is something strange like someone is at there back and many other warnings. What fear gives us is like a vision that something bad will happen. Fear can be something that will never get out of our brain we all wayshave fear in for something and what this gangs like the mara salvatrucha give us is only fear and with fear it make a huge problem because then many things can not be done correct because of the sensation that something bad is going to happen.

Violence




Violence is an extreme form of aggression, such as assault, rape or murder.
Violence has many causes, including frustration, exposure to violent media, violence in the home or neighborhood and a tendency to see other people's actions as hostile even when they're not. Certain situations also increase the risk of aggression, such as drinking, insults and other provocations and environmental factors like heat and overcrowding.Many people think of school shootings when they think of teen violence. But teen violence includes many different activities. These include fights, gang violence and suicide. The victims of teen violence are most often other teenagers.
Teens who commit acts of violence are often involved in other types of risky or criminal behavior. They may use drugs, carry weapons, drive recklessly and have unsafe sex.

The most critical risk factor for violence for your children is the behavior of their friends and classmates. You should know who your kids hang out with and encourage healthy behavior and relationships.Religious and political ideologies have been the cause of interpersonal violence throughout history.The causes of violent behavior in humans are often topics of research in psychology and sociology. Neurobiologist Jan Volavka emphasizes that for those purposes, “violent behavior is defined as intentional physically aggressive behavior against another person."

Official crime statistics reveal high rates of offense among young people. These offenses include rape, assault, and theft. About 34 percent of all offenders arrested for criminal offenses in 2006 were under the age of twenty-one
