What series of laws changed how America punished drug users

Health

Answer:

The United States puts more people behind bars than any other country, five times as many per capital compared with Britain or Spain.

Explanation:

It wasn't always like this. Half a century ago, relatively few people were locked up, and those inmates generally served short sentences. But 40 years ago, New York passed strict sentencing guidelines known as the "Rockefeller drug laws" — after their champion, Gov. Nelson Rockefeller — that put even low-level criminals behind bars for decades.  Those tough-on-crime policies became the new normal across the country. But a new debate is under way over the effectiveness of tough sentencing laws.

What affects the focal point, leading to near- or far-sightedness?
-BARSIC- [3]

Near sightedness is a condition whereby the eyeball is too long or cornea has excess curvature such that light entering the eye is focused in front of the retina rather on the retina itself.

The exact cause of nearsightedness is unknown but there are two factors that may be responsible  for its development.

1. Visual stress

2. Heredity

Individuals who spend considerable time reading or working at a computer or engage in other types of intense close visual work may develop nearsightedness.

There is credible evidence that many people inherit nearsightedness or are at least  predisposed to the condition, especially if both parents suffer from the condition.

Far sightedness (hyperopia) is a condition where the eye is shorter than normal, the cornea is not curved quite enough or the lens sits further back in the eye than is normal.

This condition can be inherited especially if both parents suffer from it.

The other cause is through diseases like diabetes or glaucoma.

Answer:

  1. Waste
  2. Plastic
  3. Landfill
  4. Compost

Explanation:

Waste is anything that is thrown away because it is no longer of use.

When plastic was first invented, it was hailed for all the usefulness that it had and still has. It has a serious drawback of being very hard to decay however as it takes hundreds of years to do so thereby worsening the waste management problem that the planet is experiencing.

Landfills are where the government dumps the garbage it collects. They recycle some of this waste and destroy most.

Compost refers to organic material that is used as plant fertilizer. They contain nutrients that the plants can use to grow.
