Some people think that drug addicts should be treated like criminals and sent to jail, while others believe that they should be treated like patients and sent to hospital.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Some would argue that people who are addicted to drugs should go to jail because they have broken the law, while others say that they are sick and should be taken care of in hospital. Although sentencing them to a term in prison is the quick and easy solution, I believe it is better to be compassionate and help them get better in hospital.
On the one hand, custodial sentences provide a short term solution to the drugs problem. By locking up addicts the government can take them off the street and they believe that this will stop them using narcotics and also causing any harm to others. For example, in the United States someone even caught with even a small amount of heroin is likely to be locked up for at least a year. However, I believe this does not solve the actual problem because drug addicts can gain access to drugs while in prison and will be still hooked upon release.
On the other hand, helping drug addicts kick their habit under medical supervision is thought to reduce the number of addicts in the long term. By treating addiction as a disease and the person with compassion, the root cause can be addressed and the person can eventually become free from drugs. For example, in Switzerland heroin addicts are given free heroin by doctors until they are ready to stop using the drug and this has resulted in drug related crime falling by 80%. I believe this method is preferable because addiction is a disease and it benefits both the individual and society.
In conclusion, although throwing addicts in jail might get them off the street for a few years, it does not treat the actual problem and that is why it is more important to help them get off drugs in a medical facility. It is recommended that more governments follow this logic and bring in more forward thinking initiatives.
- Some people think that the government should ensure the healthy lifestyle of people, but others argue that it should be decided by individuals. Discuss both sides and give your opinion. 61
- Most countries allow 18 years old to start driving a car Some say it is good to allow it at this age while other think that the age to start driving should be at least 25 Discuss both sides and give your opinion 74
- Some people think it is more beneficial to play sports that are played in teams, e.g. football. However, some people think it is more beneficial to play individual sports, e.g. tennis and swimming. Discuss both views and give your opinion. 73
- Some people believe that it is possible for a country to be economically progressive while having a clean environment at the same time. Some people disagree with this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion 73
- Some employers offer their employees subsidised membership of sports and gym. Some people believe that this is an effective way of improving your productivity, while others are of the opinion that there is no benefit in doing so. 67
