Drug War
The drug war started in the early 1980s by a man name Ricky Ross. He was from California , deep in the rough part or Los Angela's where there were a lot of homeless and poor people who lived on streets and instead of houses . He begin to sale the drugs when the drugs had got shipped over by the government and flooded the cities and he knew someone who was close to government who helped him. When the business got good for him he started to also put people on . when he got other people to do it people were dying because either the drugs were killing them or people were killing each other over the drugs . He was making lots of money just from celling drugs he had 5 houses and made over a thousands dollars a day just from celling. When he finally got caught he begin to tell his story about the drug war business and how he got the name the drug lord. he talked about the money he had and made everyday but he really expressed how the drugs got over from oversees into the inner city places like California and how that having the drugs come over from those places into the city areas it was just a set up for African Americans to get kilt or off the streets and in jail. Drugs were not just sold in California it was everywhere across the country including places like New York and Washington DC basically the rough parts of America . The reason Ricky Ross was named the drug lord because everyone knew who he was and the connects he had. There were other drug dealers but just not as strong as Ricky Ross. That is how the drug war started and it is still and on going thing in America .
Legal Drugs
Certain Drugs in America are legal such as medical drugs or prescription drugs because they help cure for the ones that are sick or in need of. But the one drug that is legal which is a surprise is marijuana because it has been illegal for so long that it now just got passed as a legal substance on in certain areas of the country. That means you can only buy and sale and use marijuana in the place that you purchase them from. Which is the same law for buying liquor in certain states and county's it is not allowed to purchase it and take it back to where you are from to use it. What makes it bad that marijuana is legal is that now kids can easily get a hold of it and use it . It is not hard to sale because you only have to be 18 years old to use . If the drug is going to be legal you should at least have to purchase it a pharmacy market or at least at the doctors and use it there instead of being allowed to buy it off the street.

Evidence supporting why students need to use digital devices during class
Having technology in the classroom helps students better understand work that is giving and also helps students learn how to use technology better because after college almost every job in the real world uses some type of technology. Technology has came along way since the first computers were made in the late 1980s there has been upgrades on computers and also technology every year. Each year there is a different technology device that comes out in stores that is very expensive and has new advancements. Technology does distract learning sometimes but having devices in class can help not make it an distraction by enforcing different things to on devices that helps with learning. The more technology students are able to use while in class the better.
For this generation of students, they work better using devices that are new. An example that supports my argument from an article with empirical evidence is in Education Week. Julie Blair argues that more schools around the country are starting to use iPhone's and iPod's in classrooms to take quizzes and also do assignments. In the article is says that by using these mobile devices classes are able to expand the classroom beyond the 45 minutes they have. Billie J. McConnell, a professor of teacher education at ACU. "We're getting students connected to think , collaborate , and discuss ideas outside of the classroom. Throughout this article there are teachers and professors that agree using mobile devices can be very helpful because it teaches students at a early age how to take care of devices such as iPhone's and ipads, also it has been an success in classrooms.
There are some teachers and professors who banned devices and have learned that students are not as active as there when they have there devices. Chronicle of Higher Education To support my argument about devices being an distraction in class Professor Jason Farman argues that even though computer are just like Ipads that it is not a good idea to band them because of the social media is everywhere in our everyday lives. Farman also says that he is learning to help make it easier for students to learn better by using tablets because as he learned that there are many different things you can do with an ipad just using an ipad. Professor Farman understands that ipads are a bigger verging of an iPhone and can be used as an cell phone as well. In his class, using twitter backchannel will keep students engaged and also help them multitask. This article helps support my augment that technology helps students in class because in these two articles, college professors that use technology in class gets work done faster and also makes grading a lot easier. It is not just easy for the professor but it is also easy for the students. If students overuse the technology devices, they have to be concerned about classwork as well. But if students can use devices for academic purposes in their courses ,the class will seem more interesting and there also learning about how to use technology to assist in their classroom learning and for doing something creative on an technology device.
