Long gone are the days when herbs and spices were mixed together to make us feel better. Capsules and pills have now become our method of regaining a good feeling and healthy recoveries. We often take medications from the direction of our physician and feel we can trust his decision to prescribe it. How can the United States ensure Prescription drugs are safe and effective, while also having a speedy approval process? Being sure these prescribed medications are safe and do not have side effects is important to us and our families.

We have become so dependent on them that we pile the whole family inside to take a two block ride to the fast food drive through window. Our love for our cars is paramount to nearly anything else we own. Some people must get a new car every two years to keep ahead of what the neighbors have. Weekends are spent washing and waxing these vehicles at neighborhood car washing complexes that we just drive into and then automatically are pushed to the other end for a blast of hot air to make sure it is dry. We love our cars and sometimes wonder what we would do without them.

(NIV). Honey in the Scriptures, is usually understood to be fruit nectar, more or less it is thought to be date honey and not bees' honey. Nachmanides writes that the main word in the verse is "flowing." The Fruit trees sprout in many different environments, although their produce was plentiful with the nectar only when the land is most especially fertile, during the time trees are, for the most part, well-nourished.
The most descriptive commandment is the fourth commandment wherein God said “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy… he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy”. This commandment explains the best that when we follow the laws of God and practice the covenants that were agreed upon we will prosper and be taken care of by God.

With the help of three different articles, we get a clear insight of how different governments use political influence to influence the implementation of policies. Firstly, some governments take it upon themselves to formulate and implement policies that both favor their interests and the economic stability of their nations. In some instances, governments also use foreign influence to formulate policies in their own backyard, and implementation of these policies depends upon the likeability of the foreign influence on the people. It is also possible that there are governments who formulate but face the difficulty of implementing policies due to the influence of other stakeholders sharing the same interests. The general implementation of policies depends largely on the government’s type of rule together with its political influence in the different sectors involved. Using viable evidence, the influence of different governments on policy making and implementation is determined

For anyone, more especially a government, to attempt to find a system that will fit into our lifestyles will never be done. Each individual has grown up in different social experiences. Whether you were born in the flatlands of the Mid West plains or the hill country of the Appellation Mountains your perspective on your lifestyle will differ from another person. There is no way to prepare everyone to live exactly the same as everyone else. We are individuals and we live and breathe as individuals. But when the Government tries to intervene and standardize our lives, they usually fail.

Constitutional theorists constantly tussle with under what circumstances and how far our Constitution is to be bent for the safety of our law abiding citizens. Is it appropriate for someone to gleefully disrespect the legal system because they are in a moving vehicle? When, we as a nation of laws must seemingly walk on someone’s right it must be for a good reason.

Our Constitution lets us know that any amendment can be presented either by our Congress with a two-thirds majority vote within both the House of Representatives and Senate or by holding a constitutional convention requested by two thirds of State legislatures. (National, n.d.) The fourth Amendment, or Article IV, concerns itself with personal freedoms against search and seizure. Are these rights currently upheld? Our country has been turned upside down by forces beyond our control.

When trying to compare Christian worldviews with the classical school of thought concerning crime. We find that criminal justice came about during the time of the late eighteenth century. It was with the work of an Italian named Cesare Beccaria and of an Englishman named Jeremy Bentham. The theory of Classical thinking takes its central ideas from a period in time known as the Enlightenment. It first began to emerge in France in the early eighteenth century. The main principles of the classical thinking are that as humans we have free will and have become hedonistic. The main way to control behavior is with the use of fear and mostly pain. One of the basic purposes of using the criminal justice system was preventing crime with deterrence. Beccaria stated, "In order for punishment not to be, in every instance, an act of violence of one or of many against a private citizen, it must be essentially public, prompt, necessary, the least possible in the given circumstances, proportionate to the crimes, dictated by the laws."

Circumstances will be different throughout childhood, young adulthood, adulthood and the final passing into the uncertain void of afterlife. Nothing can be worse than having a life come to an early end. Someone can be run over by a car crossing the street, fall off a cliff taking a selfie, be shot in a war or even struck by lightning. Once a person begins a path down a life of crime, they can escalate their actions until they get into a situation where their trial may end in a death sentence under the laws in most states. Is this form of punishment reasonable? How did we get into this situation of ending another human life? What other types of punishment are available? We do have other choices. Romans 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.

Theories concerning how to punish the guilty for their crimes change over the generations. Schmalleger presents us with two strategies’ that were to help impact crime rates in our communities. They are Community Policing and Broken Windows Policing. Each theory has its own methods and results.
