Many parents, teachers, and community leaders are eager for some sign of a decline in drug use among teenagers that it’s worth citing a recent survey by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America.This group’s polls show drug are gradually losing their aura of "coolness" and acceptability. The statistical declines are hardly startling-40 percent of teens surveyed saying that really cool kids don’t use drugs, compared with 35 percent a year ago; experimentation with marijuana is down to 41 percent, from 44 percent in 1997.A few more kids are trying to talk friends out of using drugs. More are saying they couldn’t be talked into it. Considerably more say they’re aware of antidrug messages in the media.Skeptics are prone to sneer at such findings. They point to continued high drug use generally. But changes in attitudes toward drugs shouldn’t be discounted. Altered attitudes lead to altered behavior, as shown by dropping cigarette use among youths in states making a consistent effort to discourage smoking.Perhaps most importantly, anti-addiction drives-whether against drugs, tobacco, or alcohol-have to credit the people they want to stay with intelligence and common sense. Those faculties may need to be awakened, Kids, and adults for that matter, have to be moved to the question, " Do I really want to do this to myself" and, "Do I want to set this example for others"Helping young people towards the right answers early is at the heart of the country’s against drugs. The ads being aired as part of the government’s National Youth Anti-Media Campaign have their part to play. So, citically, do parents and other influential adults. It’s encouraging that an increased proportion of teens surveyed (50 percent versus 27 percent last year) said their parents had informed them of the dangers of drugs.The glimpses of hope seen in this survey and other recent ones demand diligent follow-up. Reducing demand is the most critical front in the drug "war".Among youths, whether urban, suburban, or rural, that means education, with an emphasis on moral reasoning-making decisions that help oneself and others. The people who are doubtful about it ().

Friend: OK, so what happened when you got to the airport Pauline: Well, I waited in queue for ages and finally it was my turn to come up to the desk. So I presented my passport and she said, "I think you need a visa". And I said, "No, I don’t. I was there six years ago and it was OK then". So…and she said, "Well your travel agent should have told you". So anyway she went away to check and when she came back I just knew by the look on her face that I needed a visa. And my flight was going to go just then. And I said," What will I do" And so she called over the OSL rep, they’re the people I booked through, and they were very nice to me and they said," Well, you’ve got to go to London and get your visa. "And I said" Well can’t you have it at the airport" And they said" No". So then they said, "Well the best thing to do is to get on this coach and go down to London". So I got on a coach but there was pea-soup fog everywhere and so I sat on the motorway for two hours. And the whole time thinking what I am doing And so I got down to London. And it took literally three minutes. I filled in a form. They stamped my passport, 3 pounds thanks. And then I had to ring the airline and try to get a flight out. And they kept saying "Ring back in an hour. Ring back in an hour. Ring back in an hour". And every time I had to ring back they’d say "Sorry. Well, the nearest flight we’ve got is from Newcastle tomorrow morning. " Friend: Oh, no. You didn’t go to Newcastle. Pauline: No, I didn’t go to Newcastle. Luckily, they kept ringing and ringing and ringing and meantime I had to kill time in Green Park. It was a hot, hot day and I was carrying all my luggage and I then kept walking back to Victoria Station. Friend: Oh, you weren’t in Luton. You were waiting in London. Pauline: That’t right. I then went to London. And then , so I kept ringing and then eventually they got me a flight out to airport…er to lbiza. Friend: From Luton Pauline: No, from Gatwick actually. So then because I was in London that was nearer Gatwick, I had to then stay in London so I had to phone a friend and he was out for two hours, and then he wouldn’t be home for another two hours so I killed four hours before I got to him, stayed the night with him. He drove me to the airport the next morning. Then the plane was delayed. So I was getting really frightened by this time. And so then eventually I got on the plane and it was delayed by engine trouble and so on. And then I got out there, and I got out there five minutes after the airline office closed and there was no message for me. Friend: Oh my God. Pauline: So I thought "I don’t know what to do". And all the other people kept saying "Well, get in a taxi" and you know what it’s like in a foreign country. You think "I can’t get in a taxi. It’ll cost the earth". But in fact they said "Well it’s never far in these places". And so then I decided. OK, so I got in a taxi. Friend: But you had the address Pauline: Well luckily…I didn’ t have the address before I left home but luckily at Luton airport I’d asked for the address, so I had the address. Right. So then the taxi drove me out to the airport…er…to the villa, and we took ages to find it. We were searching round eventually found it… The customs officials suggested that she go to London by taking a long-distance bus.
We were married in 1962. I was 21, he was 24. These were times when it was generally expected that women married young rarely traveled before marriage and were not independent in financial matters. They did not own their own cars or house and mostly lived at home with their parents until marriage. Rarely did women have university degrees, most left school as soon as they reached 15 and worked in what was perceived as ’female’ positions. The assumption was that they would get married, produce children and stay at home to he a mother and so a tertiary education was not considered important unless one came from a family of professionals. It was generally expected that after a few years of marriage, children would eventuate, Contraception was a hit and miss affair and many unplanned pregnancies occurred. It was unusual for a couple not to reproduce, and stranger still that they would choose not to have children. However, I never felt pressure to have a family. My mother asked once when she was to be a grandmother and was given the reply ’never’, so the subject was not discussed again. My sister has three kids so she did not miss out on grandkids, I do not accept comments like: "Who will look after you when you are old" I would never have had children for that purpose and do not believe this is a logical reason for producing offspring. The choice not to have children in our ease was not for selfish reasons, as was once mentioned by a person who did not know me very well, such as wanting material possessions. In fact these things are not high on our agenda. Sure, not having kids has given us more flexibility in some pursuits. Couples today do make decisions not to have children and up to a point, their decisions are more accepted than the past. What is wrong with women wanting to pursue a career or whatever and deciding do not fit into the scheme of things Why did a lot of people feel pressure to have a family()

The importance of parties and of the people in the British system of government can best be appreciated by seeing what happens at a General Election. At this, which must take place at least every five years, elections are held in every constituency in Britain to decide which individuals shall represent them in the House of Commons. For electoral purposes the country is divided into 635 constituencies, each of which returns one Member of Parliament. Each constituency contains, on the average, about 63,000 electors. Any citizen over the age of 18 can vote in the constituency where he usually resides; only criminals, lunatics, and members of the House of Lords are disqualified from voting. Similarly, any citizen can become a candidate for election to Parliament, though there are two conditions: he or she must get ten electors in the constiuency to nominate him as a candidate, and he must put down a deposit of 150 pounds which he forfeits if he gets less than one-eighth of all the votes cast in the constituency. On the day appointed for the election, voters go to the polling stations in their constituency and indicate, by marking a ballot form, which of the various candidates listed on the form they would like to have as their representative in the House of Commons. At the end of the day the ballot-boxes, into which the voters have put their marked forms, are sealed and taken to one center in the constituency, unlocked, and the votes counted in the presence of the candidates. The one who has the most votes (even if he has only more than his nearest opponent) is successful, and will go to Westminster as Member of Parliament for that constituency. How many constituencies is the country divided into for the General Election()
