Arguments

Argument:

Illegval drug use is contributed for over 33,000 deaths per year.In a list that includes heart disease, and cancer, illegal drugs are listed as one of the top 15 causes of death in the world. To combat such horrible statistics, companies such as "TRUTH" and "Drug Free America,have sprouted and are commited to reducing the death and usage of drugs. These companies use a variety of techniques such as live presentations, commercials, and advertisements to convey their message of the harmful affects and outcomes of drug usage.

Coutner Argument:

However, there are those who speculate that kids and adults choose the way they live their life and the road they take is something that cannot be changed. One chooses to start doing drugs and can if they they want to, stop just as fast as they started. Attempts by anti-drug companies do not deter drug users, just simply give them a challenge to not be a statistic.

Refuation of Counter-Argument


And they are right, people do feel as though they control their life, they control their own future. The ads don't try to force drug users to change, but give them another path to take by showing drug users what their grm future is filled with, black lungs, addiction, jail, and a horrible life.
