The Military has used uniforms for a very long time to show the different ranks and order of the people. Many people wonder why public schools have not enforced school uniforms and many people do not like the idea of school uniforms.

the addict. It has been proven, that addiction alters the brain, thus making it a medical issue. I think that we need to look to decriminalizing some of the drugs to start with, by ending the war on drugs.

The major issue brought up in the book, which was directly and if not directly, indirectly responsible for writing the fate of most of the characters in this story was racism. I think that solution to this problem is communication. People often talk in hushed tone about issues that they are not comfortable with. Racial prejudice are found some what rampant everywhere…
