Drugs
1. In fact, all medicines are drugs. You take drugs for your headache or your asthma. But you need to remember that not all drugs are medicines. Alcohol is a drug, and nicotine is a drug. There are many drugs that do you no good at all. There’s nothing wrong with medicinal drugs if they’re used properly. The trouble is, some people use them wrongly and make themselves ill. Most of the drugs are illegal, but some are ordinary medical substances that people use in the wrong way.
2. People take drugs because they think they make them feel better. Young people are often introduced to drug-taking by their friends. Many users take drugs to escape from a life that may seem too hard to bear. Drugs may seem the only answer, but they are no answer at all. They simply make the problem worse. Depending on the type and strength of the drug, all drug-abusers are in danger of developing side effects. Drugs can bring on confusion and frightening hallucinations and cause unbalanced emotions or more serious mental disorders.
3. First-time heroin users are sometimes violently sick. Cocaine, even in small amounts, can cause sudden death in some young people, due to heartbeat irregularities. Children born to drug-addicted parents can be badly affected. Regular users may become constipated and girls can miss their periods. Some drugs can slow, even stop the breathing process, and if someone overdoses accidentally they may become unconscious or even die.

The latest statistical data says that violent crime is rising constantly in this country. I know about it not only by newspapers reports. I’ve been robbed twice already and I’m afraid to leave my flat when it becomes dark. But even staying at home isn’t a guarantee for safety. My old neighbour had been killed in his own flat and as usual the murderers hadn’t been found by the police. Violence has become an accepted way of life in America. There are different explanations for this phenomenon. One of them is the possibility to buy any kind of weapons at gun shops everywhere in the US. The weapon is being bought not only buy criminals but by law – abiding citizens too to protect themselves.

The dignity and rights of man, a dominant theme in the political philosophy of the 18th century, flowered into practical significance with such instruments as the Virginia Declaration of Rights 1776, the American Declaration of Independence 1776, the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen 1789 and, of more lasting importance, the series of Amendments to the United States Constitution adopted in 1791 as the American Bill of Rights. The constitutional settlement in the United States and the attached Bill of Rights provided a model of the protection of human rights.

In some states the fundamental rights and liberties are protected within the Constitution itself. In other states a Bill of Rights is annexed to the Constitution subject to the same overriding primacy as the Constitution itself. In yet other states, fundamental rights are guaranteed by a Basic Law, falling short of the Constitution itself but remaining paramount over the ordinary legislation of the state. It has to be remembered that the effectiveness of the protection of human rights is dependent only in part on the rights and liberties set out in the relevant law. There are many instances of states whose constitutions contain an impressive series of human rights provisions which are not observed in practice.
