Should Dhmo Be Banned In Campus
After reading about the DHMO and all of its positive and negative effects, I've come to the conclusion that I strongly feel it should be banned from our campus. It is not only dangerous to us as humans and individuals, but it is also harmful to our environment. After meeting with several students here at Iona, we all feel strongly about our decision when thinking about what is best for the College community. From all of the reading and research regarding DHMO and its harm it can potentially bring I began to wonder why is it still legal, and why would anyone continue it's using knowing of the damage it can do. Not only is it here on our campus, it is found almost everywhere- such as lakes, ponds, rivers, streams and the ocean itself. What

    Montana Drug Abuse

    The Montana Meth Project was introduced a few years back to show real life cases of what happens when a person becomes hooked on this drug. From billboards on interstates, to ads on the radio, and even commercials on TV, this organization is trying to fight for a extremely important cause. Their advertisements are very powerful. While driving along an interstate you may not only see a billboard depicted like the one to the left, but also listen on the radio to an addicted teen talk about the horrible experiences that he or she have lived through. Drug abuse is a terrible addiction to get into, but meth is the worst of the worst. I have seen firsthand how meth can affect families and the Montana economy. This is why I have stated all of the information above to help prove my point that the meth usage and distribution in Montana needs to stop. If one state can make a difference then maybe it can start a chain reaction for the nation to turn this devastating trend…

    Schools should limit online speech because it could endanger people’s lives, be disruptive to education, and display offensive information. “The First Amendment to the Constitution says,””Congress shall make no law...abridging [limiting] the freedom of speech...”” (Online Speech Mini-Q 179). Freedom of speech has limits; examples are clear and present danger, fighting words, obscenity, conflict with other important interest, and the time, place, and manner which are not protected by the First Amendment. In 1925, the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment applied to multiple levels of government, which included public schools. In 1969, the Supreme Court ruled that free speech rights don’t end at school grounds, and in 2007 the Supreme Court allowed the school to punish students for speech outside of the school campus. Therefore, schools should be allowed to limit online speech in order to protect students from physical and mental harassment as well as distractions.…

    There is more than one side to the debate about cell phone availability during school. One claim is that students should be allowed to have their phones on them and use their cell phones during appropriate times. In the article, the authors provide details about how there are numerous reasons why cell phones should be allowed during school. Students should be allowed access to cell phones, because if they are responsible enough to be going off to college in a year or so, they should be responsible enough to have a cell phone on them and use it wisely (George and Cook). Another reason why cell phones should be allowed in school is because otherwise it can create a divide between the students and the teachers. Students are so invested in their phones, so if a teacher…

    In the following paper I will discuss about three reasons why should schools not be allowed to limit student’s online speech. I choose not limit because cyberbullying is most often out of the school territory and not all the kids have to be punishments for others kid’s faults and not everyone is a cyberbullying so what happen to are privacy. Cyberbullying does not occur in school, so I think parents need to learn how to handle their children problems. That’s one of the reasons why I think not limit is best.…

    Imagine finding a book from one’s childhood, or a classic one read while in school that brings memories and nostalgia for the past, but this book is now banned in schools and libraries. Knowing of a book one loved as a child and knowing others could not learn to love the same book can make people upset. Censorship is affecting the world today as classics or books that could be important in one’s life are gone from the lives of others. These books or sources of information could be important to society. Censorship is a problem because it infringes on the First Amendment, it can affect a child’s development, and it can control the flow of power unnecessarily.…

    Should cell phones be allowed in Piedmont High School? Although there should be regulations to this allowance, I believe they should be allowed because cell phones have many uses that may prove to be helpful to students. For example, my laptop crashed recently while I was in school. The only way I could access my assignments and reminders was through my cell phone. Some may argue that cell phones are only a distraction. A lot of students at Piedmont High School play on their phones during lessons. This causes the teacher to stop class to tell the student to put their phone away. At the same time, it is the students fault if they miss important information due to them using their cell phone. Allowing cell phones in class will tech responsibility by giving them a choice of when to use it.…

    For every eight smoker's tobacco kills, one non-smoker is also killed by second hand smoke.´(American Lung Association) With a fact like that, it makes one really think about where they have been and how much smoke they have been subjected to. For me, attending college every day and walking through clouds of smoke to get from class to class really begins to put my health into perspective.

    Smoking Ban Argument

    Banning smoking on college campuses such as ARC would diminish morale, especially to students who smoke. Judging from student comments many of us have already heard around campus, the complete outdoor smoking ban alienates many, and breeds resentment toward an administration seen as having gone too far. Faculty in particular may find it frustrating to work so hard for student retention and morale only to see their efforts hampered in this regard.…
