    The document discusses how global spending on drug law enforcement exceeds $100 billion annually, far surpassing amounts spent on foreign aid, welfare, and climate issues. However, despite these massive financial resources, illegal drug markets remain largely controlled by criminal organizations and street gangs. It argues that the "War on Drugs" approach of the past 50 years has led to unsustainable spending levels with few tangible benefits, suggesting an alternative strategy may be needed.

    Cultural Imperialism Essay

    Crafting an essay on the subject of cultural imperialism presents a multifaceted challenge that
    demands a comprehensive understanding of various disciplines such as sociology, cultural studies,
    history, and international relations. Delving into this topic requires an in-depth exploration of the
    power dynamics inherent in cultural interactions, the impact of dominant cultures on marginalized
    ones, and the complex interplay between globalization and cultural identity.

    The intricacies of cultural imperialism involve not only dissecting historical instances but also
    critically analyzing contemporary manifestations. Addressing the subtle nuances of cultural
    hegemony, the essay must navigate through the realms of media, technology, and globalization to
    discern how cultural values and norms are disseminated and absorbed.

    Moreover, grappling with the ethical dimensions of cultural imperialism necessitates a nuanced
    examination of agency, consent, and resistance. Unraveling the layers of influence and resistance in
    cultural exchanges adds another layer of complexity to the task. One must be prepared to engage
    with a vast array of theories, perspectives, and case studies to construct a well-rounded argument.

    Crafting a compelling essay on cultural imperialism involves not just presenting facts and analyses
    but also weaving together a narrative that captures the essence of the phenomenon. It requires a
    delicate balance between empirical evidence and theoretical frameworks, making it essential for the
    writer to synthesize information from various sources coherently.

    The process of writing such an essay is not only intellectually demanding but also emotionally
    charged, as it often involves confronting uncomfortable truths about power dynamics, exploitation,
    and the erasure of cultural diversity. The writer must navigate through the moral and ethical
    dimensions of the topic with sensitivity and objectivity.

    In conclusion, tackling the topic of cultural imperialism in an essay is a formidable task that demands
    extensive research, critical thinking, and a nuanced understanding of cultural dynamics. It requires
    the ability to synthesize information from diverse fields and present a well-structured argument that
    captures the complexity of the subject. While challenging, successfully navigating this terrain can
    lead to a profound exploration of the intricate relationships between cultures in our interconnected
    world.

    The Overmedicated Research Paper
    The Overmedicated
    Imagine a time the single common cold can wipe out the entire human race. No
    medicine can prevent a population from being wiped out and no one is safe from it.
    This may become a possible reality but only if we respect antibiotics and use them only
    when they are prescribed when it is necessary it can be stopped. In America we over
    medicate our children so much that our next generation could become immune to
    antibiotics.

    Bacteria can be a scary thing, but some people do not even know what bacteria is but
    doctors have created antibiotics to destroy it. Many people are unaware what bacteria
    are and how antibiotics control them. (Voss, Bristol) Basically bacteria a large group of
    unicellular microorganisms that have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized
    nucleus, including some that can cause disease. Antibiotics are used to destroy bacteria,
    but if a person is prescribed too many antibiotics they may become immune to antibiotics
    forever and have to live without a strong immune system. Antibiotics attacks bacteria by
    preventing it from building a wall to defend itself from the body s immune system. So
    the body s immune system can easily kill the bacteria. ... Show more content on

    It can cause something as small as a cold to be able to kill a person. Eric was
    prescribed to many antibiotics as a young child that when he became sick at the age of
    10 the had to try 4 different medications before he would start the get better. (Renkl,
    Margaret) When bacteria becomes immune to antibiotics the body has no defense over
    the disease. The bacteria is stronger than the body s immune system because it has cell
    walls when human cells do not have walls to protect itself. It can cause serious damage
    to a person s body, sometimes so serious that when not treated properly it can even lead to
    The Importance Of Operant Conditioning
    Operant Conditioning Within the early 19th Century, Edward Throne like conducted
    experiments on dogs and cats to determine the way these animals behave under certain
    conditions. These studies were conducted through replicating and standardizing the
    circumstances that the animals were in through a controlled environment. As such, this
    model demonstrated that animals had the nature to learn when they were presented with
    certain consequences. In 1938, Burrhus Friederich (B. F.) developed the core idea of the
    Operant ConditioningSkinner, which claims that operant conditioning, was brought about
    by the response from the operant under threat (Sakagami, Lattal, 2016). Some factors
    were involved in the increase of the operant conditioning especially when Edward
    Thorndike was examining the behavior of cats and rats. It was necessary to consider the
    problem solving abilities of these animals within puzzle boxes that would otherwise lead
    the animals in a state of constraint. Moreover, there was a need to understand the
    relationship exhibited between the appropriate reaction to the individual situation and the
    associated strengths to the same. Moreover, other factors such as the ability of the
    animals to learn under the conditions presented as was later proven by Skinner.
    The core principles that are important in understanding the operant conditioning and how
    it may result in the retention offer includes the operant variability where the individual
    may experience emitted behavioral
    The Immobilized Lipase On The Membrane
    The fastness of the immobilized lipase on the membrane is crucial to the long term use
    of the EMBR latterly. The plot of the desorption ratio as a function of time is shown in
    Figure 7. The desorption ratio of the EMBR without using crosslinking agent reached
    63.4% within 180 min, indicating a very week interaction between the membrane and
    purely physically adsorbed lipase. Therefore, the lipase can be easily flushed away under
    a high shear force condition. In contrast, the desorption ratio remained no more than 10%
    after crosslinking, owing to the resolution of the enzymeleakage problem during the
    operation.
    Figure 7

    Optimization of operating condition of EMBR


    For obtaining the best performance of EMR, an appropriate operating condition
    should be selected. To optimize the operating condition of EMR, RSM was applied to
    model the apparent enzymatic membrane activity of the immobilized lipase using four
    parameters: substrate concentration (C), peristaltic pump flow rate (μL·min 1),
    reaction pH, and temperature (°C). These four variables were optimized using two 2
    factor 3 level CCDs. The accuracy of the models was evaluated by the coefficient of
    determination (R2). The value of R2 for designs 1 and 2 were 96.69 and 97.27%,
    respectively. ANOVA (Table 2, The Supporting Information) shows that both the models
    for designs 1 and 2 were statistically good with a significance level of P 1162 μL·min 1
    and certain substrate concentration, the membrane activity apparently
    Global Spending On Drug Law Enforcement Currently
    Exceeds
    Global spending on drug law enforcement currently exceeds one hundred billion dollars
    per annum. This is said to be way over the amount spent on foreign aid, global welfare,
    and climate change (CounttheCosts.org, 2016). This is also backed up by further
    expenditure of about 70 80 per cent of tens of billions of cash injections from the United
    Nations to be spent on global drug control, through policing and military intervention, this
    cash is injected with the aim of eradicating drug production facilities and farms, and the
    prosecution and punishment of drug traffickers and farmers (Gossop, 2013). This is all
    spent with one intention, the intention to create a safer drug free world (Horsfield, 2016).
    Taking into consideration the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
    After that it costs a further £40,000 for each year they spend incarcerated (Ministry of
    Justice, 2015). It can thus be suggested that as it stands current global spending far
    exceeds its worth, or at least for the state and those in government. As comparatively, it
    could be argued it works very well in serving a criminal industry. An illegal industry,
    that is eager to supply a growing global demand for drugs, with an estimated annual
    turnover of $320 billion (Countthecost.org, 2016).Therefore, despite all of these
    resources spent by the state, there has been little improvement towards the harms of
    illegal substance misuse and the global drug trade is now arguably, entirely controlled
    by criminal organisations, street gangs and even terrorists (Bean, 2010). It leaves you
    wondering, firstly, are we, as a society, going the right way in dealing with the problems
    of substance misuse and secondly, how has spending on the issue increased to such
    unsustainable amounts, often with little positive results. 3.2 The Declaration of War
    The answer to the latter question, it could be argued, is largely down to the fifty year
    global stance and the concept of the War on drugs . A cohesive stance against certain
    substances is not something which is new. Implemented measures can be deemed to go
    way back, even as far as the time of the ancient Egyptians, whereby, records dating back
    Review Of Jennifer Armstrong s Novel Shipwreck At The...
    You might be wondering what some of the obstacles the Imperial Trans Antarctic
    Expedition might of had to deal with, one of many obstacles was the extreme weather
    of the antarctic. Jennifer Armstrong author of the novel Shipwreck at the bottom of the
    world speaks of this in her novel. The ice never melts; it clings to the bottom of the
    world, spawning winds, storms, and weather that affects the whole planet. And of all the
    weather it creates, the weather the Antarctic creates for itself is by far the worst. In the
    winter, the temperature can sink to 100 degrees below fahrenheit. Cold air masses
    sliding down the sides of the glaciers speed up until they become winds of close to 200
    miles per hour. When winter descends on the southern continent,
