Pro Con Prescription Drug

Even though prescription have there pros there is plenty of cons that go with prescription drugs. For example if you have a prescription for Oxycontin but the side effects that come with Oxycontin will cause you to take other prescription drug to eliminate that side effect. On the other hand if you have to take a drug for pain relief like after a surgery that drug will help you out as long as you take the certain amount that is prescribed to you. The problem is that people think just cause the prescription drug has their name on it they can take as many as they want because they know they can go back and get more. Also advertising has a lot to do with people being addicted to prescription drugs.  The reason why it plays a part is because when they see it on TV they believe that the drug is good for them and believe that they will not get addicted. I believe that prescription drug are good if used right. For example if you need the prescription drug is need to relief pain and you use it only for the time it tells you to use it for. On the other side if you get the pills for pain and you start to use them even though you don’t need them anymore which causes you to get addicted to the drug. Do you believe that prescription drugs should be harder to get? Should it be harder to get refills on prescription drugs?

Abortion

What is your social issue? The social issue that I chose was abortion.

Why is it such a social issue?  What do people disagree about in relation to this topic? Abortion is a social issue because many people believe that abortion should be illegal because its killing innocent adolescents. Also people think that abortions are to expensive, especially if you want to get one in your second trimester. 

What is your proposed solution?  Why do you think this is the best solution? My proposed solution is that the abortion policy should stay the same because all in all it is your choice if you are willing to deal with the psychological part of having a abortion.

What are pros to your solution? The pros of my solution is that nobody will have issues with abortion because they know that if it was them in that situation abortion would at least cross there mind.

What are cons to your solution? The cons of my solution is that it will always be relatively expensive and people are always going to be against it.

Any questions to your audience members for help on your topic? (Need to post at least 2 questions) Do you believe abortion should be legal? Is the price of abortion to expensive

 

Social Issues (Deporting Immigrants if they commit a serious crime)

I chose a topic that mostly everyone agrees with. The topic is Should immigrants be deported if they commit a serious crime? No matter the race, majority said that immigrants should be deported if they commit a serious crime, the percentages for all of the races were around 85 to 15. In Illinois the percentage was relatively the same to all the race percentages, which was 82 to 18. In Chicago the percentages were around the same as everything else, the percentage was 86 to 14. The democrat party was still towards deporting them but the percentages were closer than the others, the percentage was 75 to 25. The republican party was strictly towards deporting them the percentage was 95 to 5. The libertarians party went back to being close to all of the race percentages, the percentage is 81 to 19. The green party was closer to the democrat party in percentage. The green party percentage was 78 to 22.
