Our society is driven by money. The rich achieve great feats while the poor struggle to accomplish the most basic tasks. However, value is not only found in physical money. We place our trust in the government and the banks that our money is being handled properly, to avoid hiding actual, physical money under our mattress. Many people have no idea how the banks handle this money. Either someone has money or she doesn’t; the concept seems very simple. But this assignment opens eyes to the realities of a variety of currencies, such as the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts. The currencies all have one thing in common; no one sees them physically transferred. When we get paid, we are not handed a check, we are presented with a number on a screen that represents how much money is in our checking account. We just have to trust that that screen is correct.

Vancouver is having huge problems with heroin addicts committing crimes to support their habits. The people involved with the “free heroin for addicts” program are doing everything they can to stop the addicts. The problem is that the crime rate has skyrocketed due to the addicts’ behavior. The addicts obviously have a hard time getting through their day to day lives. Daily activities such as jobs, interactions, and relationships become to difficult to maintain while leading their current lifestyles. Heroin addicts are characteristically desperate and will do whatever they must to get their hands on the drug including committing crimes such as breaking and entering as well as stealing. Such severe desperation will drive them to great lengths to feed their addiction. This program is making great strides towards lowering the crime rate related to heroin use but isn’t doing much to actually get addicts off drugs. By providing the drug, these addicts will be off the streets, which in turn will prevent them from committing minor street crimes. Such a strategy will also keep the heroin users out of the cycle of entering a hospital for withdrawal or overdose symptoms and then not being able to pay the bill. This program gives people free heroin in the cleanest way possible, which will in turn fix the city but not the addiction that these people face.

Money seems to have a big role in our society; we can’t do much or get far if we don’t have any. Money is valuable in different ways, even when it isn’t seen physically. In today’s society we must have faith in the government and in the banking system that our money is being handled with in the proper manner, if not then we would have to hide all of our money under our mattress’ or around our houses. It’s hard to tell what goes on in banks, or what happens to the money inside of them. I always thought money was simple; it’s either there or it isn’t—that’s it. However, being introduced to this assignment, the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts now seem similar. No one actually sees their money being transferred. Money is more elusive now, there’s no more cash in hand or paychecks, money is directly transferred into bank accounts and we just believe it exists.

By heroin users being addicted, they’ll do whatever they have to in order to get their hands on the drug. The types of crimes committed are those of breaking and entering as well as stealing. There’s no limits to where they’ll go to retrieve this drug so they can feed their addiction. The problem with this program is it won’t help addicts from using heroin. It’s only trying to save the city from rising crime rates. This will also keep the heroin users out of the hospital. It’s pointless that the hospitals have to deal with people that want to use bad drugs or unsanitary needles and find themselves being unable to afford hospital bills and hard to cope without the drug. This program gives people free heroin in the cleanest way possible. This in return will fix the city but not the addiction that these people face.

In Vancouver, it happens to be a problem with heroin addicts committing crimes to support their habits. The “free heroin for addicts” program is doing everything they can to stop the addicts. The problem is a large crime rate due to the addicts. It is obvious that addicts have a hard time getting through their day-to-day lives. Daily activities such as jobs, interactions, and relationships are hard to maintain because of the fact that they are using. By heroin users being addicted, they will do whatever they have to do to get their hands on the drug. The types of crimes committed are those of breaking and entering as well as stealing. Unfortunately, there is no limits to where they will go to retrieve this drug so that they can feed their addiction. The problem with this program is that it won’t help to ween these addicts off using heroin. It is only trying to save the city from rising crime rates that they’re up to. By providing the drug, these addicts will be off the streets, which in turn will prevent them from committing minor street crimes. This will also keep the heroin users out of the hospital. It is pointless that the hospitals have to deal with people who want to use bad drugs or unsanitary needles and find themselves being unable to afford hospital bills and hard to cope without the drug.

Pre-Determined Surgery
When looking at athletes, we realize that there are many injuries that they can come by. Some can so much as end an athletes career while some have a smaller recovery time. When looking at all injuries, we know there are some that we can prevent but some that will just happen out of no where. Obviously seeing an athlete get injured is terrible because it is what they live for and put there bodies out there day in and day out. There are certain injuries that happen to certain athlete in their own sports as well. When we look at injuries we know that there are processes that we can choose to go through to get better. There are procedures such as surgery, physical therapy, or rest or icing. All injuries differ in there own ways. If we zero in to a certain sport like baseball, we can look at one of the hardest injuries and something that happens to a lot of pitchers. The injury is called Tommy John, or a UCL tear which is the ligament inside the elbow basically holding the arm together from the inside. There are some people that will look at this and say that players should have the surgery before they start there actual careers in their sports to amplify there game and also help prevent the injury from happening when in their prime.
We can look at this in a few ways. Why would someone want to be operated on if they do not have an injury? Nothing says that the injury is going to happen but they way youth baseball is going, kids are throwing curveballs at such a young age that their arms are not fully developed, we can see that this is coming more common then ever. Some studies show that getting the surgery brings pitchers back stronger then they ever were because the support in the elbow is so strong that it is basically adding another spring into the elbow which helps throw harder. To look at some reasons why this is not a good idea can start with this:
Surgery is always something is very afraid of because no one wants to be knocked out and cut open to fix something inside of them but sometimes it is necessary in a certain situation. Surgery is not always safe, there are times when some people get infections, sometimes nerve injury can happen, and sometimes Chronic Regional Pain System. That is a first reason why we should not be having the surgery done if there is no reason too. Number two, if an athlete is on their way and doing great just the way they are, why would you change that? There is a saying that goes by, “Don’t fix whats not broken.” We put athletes in risk or these problems if we were to go ahead and start having surgery with no injury.
Like said, injuries to athletes are always terrible to hear and you never want to see that happen to anyone. If we bring up this argument on whether or not we should put pitchers through the surgery before they have the chance to get injured. People will more or likely respond with no. It just doesn’t make sense. Yes the recovery rate is very high and not makes pitchers strong but we should shouldn’t change what is already working. In a sense, we can think it is cheating.
