psychostimulants drugs and one of the most common is Adderall. However, the rising number of students without ADHD using prescription drugs like Adderall has become a controversy. These brain enhancers help with staying focused and alert. From students to education experts, there are some expectations and concerns of the impact of using brain enhancers. Some may claim that the drug can be addictive while others argue that there isn't enough evidence of such effect. Although some people may think it's dangerous
Mike Webster’s brain and believed the disease was caused from years of football. This disease did not just stop at Mike Webster. Today, a total of 87 out of 91 deceased NFL players test positive for brain disease (Concussion Watch). This lead a variety of doctors to assume that concussions sustained in football had life-long harmful effects to its players. When the NFL was notified about Omalu’s findings, they adamantly denied that concussions sustained in football lead to chronic brain issues, and
sports after having a concussion. The argument is separated by those who believe it is safe to return from a concussion to sports and those who believe it is not safe to return. Those who believe the child should stop playing sports are acting out of safety and concern for the child’s future. They believe after one concussion it is in the best interest of the athlete to stop exposing them to risk of danger. Those who believe it is safe to return to sports after a concussion, have placed their trust in
too dangerous and unsafe to continue being played in its current state when considering the high risk of long-term brain disease, frequent concussions, and faulty protective equipment. This isn’t

helmet-to-helmet contact, though against the rules, does happen almost every play of the game and can leave devastating changes and damage to the player’s frontal areas of their brains. These damages may not be apparent now or even in a few years, but many studies have been conducted by the NFL and other groups that show a high rate of brain diseases developing in their long retired players much sooner, and at a higher rate than the general population. In an article by Ken Belson of the New York Times he says
we perceive as willful actions because our brain cannot perceive what causes our actions. An experiment conducted by Dr. Libet showed that some unconscious processes in our brain may have already decided what we will do before we consciously feel the will to do something. What we perceive as conscious will may just be an illusion created by our brain to explain why we do things. However libet also found that even though some unknown processes in the brain might have decided what we will do, we still

Marijuana should stay illegal due to the endangering of public safety, having negative effect on mental and physical health, and, jeopardizing the youth. To being with, Marijuana users who consume the drug on the job can seriously put public safety at risk. It is true that many jobs drug test, however many of those jobs may drug test
vaccines? All of these issues will be addressed starting with the parents concern of not trusting drug companies. All drug companies have heavy regulations and go through vigorous and continuous testing before and after the vaccine come out to ensure safety and improve upon it if necessary. There are diseases like polio that have been eradicated, but the reason they are eradicated is because there is a vaccine and people are vaccinating for the prevention of the disease. But since more and more people
can often cause tearing of the veins in the brain which cause swelling and bleeding. Another explanation of concussions is found in the Textbook of Medical Physiology. It defines concussions as when the brain tissue and capillaries are traumatized and capillary fluid leaks into the traumatized tissues. This causes one of two possible negative consequences. 1.) The swelling causes the compression of the veins, which in turn slows the bloodflow of the brain. The the compression of the veins leads to
