In fact, it is fundamentally impossible for the awareness of deliberate ignorance on the part of superior officers not to result in some degree of psychological erosion of the general respect for orders (Aronson, Wilson, & Akert, 2003; Myers & Spencer, 2004).
Moreover, the official prohibition of alcohol in Camp Bonsteel undermines its purpose of ensuring the security, health, and welfare of enlisted personnel. It exposes them to the environment of illicit alcohol procurement and consumption outside the base and in circumstances more likely to precipitate threats to their safety and potential adverse interactions with local civilians than permitting responsible alcohol consumption in camp. Likewise, whereas another purpose of General Order 1 is to enhance U.S. relations in the region, it prohibits at least one useful mechanism for achieving that objective. Specifically, employing local civilians has long been known by sociologists to be beneficial to in terms of enhancing relations between foreign military forces and civilian populations in the local region (Henslin, 2002; Macionis, 2003). In that regard, opening a bar & grill on the ground of Camp Bonsteel would maximize this principle and allow local civilians employed by the venture to interact with U.S. military personnel in a much more positive context than their exposure to military patrols and other military operations.
Conclusion:
General Order 1 is ineffective because it is virtually impossible to...
Its stated underlying purpose is valid but contradicted rather than furthered by implementation of alcohol prohibition. Superior officers routinely ignore infractions unless it is impossible to do so without serious consequences. As a result, enlisted personnel expose themselves to increased dangers of several types by resorting to drinking outside of the camp. Repealing General Order 1 and allowing the establishment of a bar & grill in Camp Bonsteel would further every element of the stated purpose of General Order 1 better than alcohol prohibition. In addition, a Camp Bonsteel Bar & Grill would provide additional opportunities to employ local civilians and thereby enhance U.S. relations in the area as well in conjunction with their employment.

Like alcohol, tobacco use is prohibited by minors but permitted by adults. Also like alcohol, tobacco use is detrimental to the health of the user, except even more so. Whereas alcohol consumption generally benign and only acutely harmful when it is overused, tobacco use (especially in the form of cigarettes) is extremely dangerous for practically all users. This is simply a function of the fact that "typical" use of tobacco entails
We are proposing a new set of rules and guidelines Drexel should follow to ensure the success of its students moving forward. The current policy for the underage consumption of alcohol here at Drexel University goes as followed. Obviously the consumption of alcohol under the age of 21 is highlighted in Drexel drinking policy; in fact Drexel's alcohol policy is in compliance with all of the state of Philadelphia's alcohol
Alcohol and Highway Safety Vehicle crashes have been accounted as the leading cause of death in the 15-20-age group of drivers and most of these crashes are alcohol-related. About 1/5 of all U.S. drivers admit to driving while or after drinking and 4 out of 5 of them are legally impaired. There have been prevention laws and further recommendations to prevent drunk driving but violations and fatalities persist. Suggested legislations to
Instead, their main aim is to encourage increased usage of a particular brand by those who already consume alcohol, and to encourage brand loyalty. In other words, the main objective is market share. Advertisers who reach their goals gain market share at the expense of others in the same market, who lose share. The total market for the product is not increased. Hanson uses a practical example from the United
Alcohol also affects the stomach, the pancreas, and the large and small intestines. Because alcohol increases acid in the stomach, gastritis and/or stomach and intestinal ulcers can result (Dunlap). Insulin, produced by the pancreas, is vital in the regulation of sugar levels in the blood. Alcohol increases the blood sugar, which causes the pancreas to respond by producing insulin, leading to a rapid drop in blood sugar (Dunlap). It is
Alcohol How effective has the legal prohibition of alcohol been in controlling crime? A recent Department of Justice Report (U.S. Department of Justice) said that alcohol was a factor in 40% of all violent crimes and accounted for 40.9% of all traffic fatalities in the U.S.A. In the last decade. But these figures were 34% and 29%, respectively, lower than those of the previous decade. The Report further stated that arrests
