One of the major topics of debate in the US today is the legalization of marijuana. Marijuana is a psychoactive substance generated from the Cannabis plant and can be used for medical or recreat ional purposes (Caulkins, Kilmer & Kleiman, 2016). In the US, there have been questions as to whether to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes. Some are opposed to the legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes. Opponents argue that legalization will lead to an increase in crime and use of other drugs among other arguments. On the other hand, proponents argue that legalization of marijuana will lead to a reduction in crime and destroy illegal black-market that profits cartels and other criminals. They further argue that legalization will reduce prison overcrowding and improve the economy through tax revenues. Thus, legalization of marijuana remains a major controversy.
Abortion debate
The abortion debate has remained controversial in the US over the decades. The debate involves two opposing sides, the pro-choice who support abortion and the pro-life that opposes abortion. Abortion refers to the intentional ending of a pregnancy (Greenhouse & Siegel, 2012). Pro-life argues that abortion is immoral because it involves the murder of an unborn baby. They also argue that abortion is unconstitutional because it violates the right of the unborn baby to life. On the other hand, pro-choice argues that abortion is ethical because women have the right to control their own bodies and their life-support roles (Greenhouse & Siegel, 2012).
Gun control
Gun control is currently one of the most divisive debates in the US. Gun control is a debate that surrounds firearms regulations or laws that regulate the use of firearms by the public. Proponents of gun control argue that more gun control legislation would reduce gun deaths. They further argue that more gun control laws are needed to protect women from domestic violence. On the other hand, opponents of gun control argue that it is an infringement of the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, which protects civilian gun possession (Blendon, Young & Hemenway, 1996). They further argue that more gun control laws do not prevent crimes.
