My research paper is about smart drugs, how college students used them to get better grades. The pro and cons that this have and the consequences of abusing of these drugs. My thesis of my research paper is, what these students are doing to get focused, to study and memorize assignments when most of them have very short time. Maybe they use something else to perform better at school. Can it be “smart drugs?” Hurting themselves by using drugs, damaging there brain and body; but does smart drugs really make people smarter or make them dumber. I feel proud of my paper, because it was a topic that I had always want to know about. Before deciding of what was going to be about my paper I have some knowledge of smart drugs, but know I can said what

Med-Pharmex Incorporated is known nationally and abroad as a pharmaceutical manufacturer of animal-related products. Before gaining fame worldwide, the business began its journey to success as a small lab in 1983, which slowly grew over time. Since then, the company maintains its main goal, and that is to produce drugs that promote the health of companion animals, such as dogs, cats, and horses, as well as food-producing animals, such as pork and chickens. To ensure legal responsibility, the company’s manufacturing process is examined by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

To support my argument, I will need to inform my readers about the positive effects of antidepressants and then discuss governments role and how they can benefit from antidepressant drugs. My audience are my classmates (from many different backgrounds and studying different majors) and my professors. Although there is a wide range of articles and research on this topic, I believe the general public is not fully aware on the positive effects of antidepressants. My goal is that after reading my paper, the person will have a better understanding on the effectiveness of antidepressant drugs. I will be creating a research paper to explain my research and arguments to my audience. The printed copy of my paper will allow my readers to read my findings at their own pace and it will provide them with the easiest way to find the sources that I used to conduct further
In Margaret Talbot 's article about neuroenhancing drugs, she uses tone, appeals, and evidence from various sources. Talbot also utilized stories from past students that had used these drugs to enhance their academic performance, along with their work ethic, because they felt they needed an academic aid. Throughout this article, Talbot is trying to inform our society of the effects of neuroenhancing drugs, as well as get her point across about how she feels about this issue. She uses evidence from past college students that displays her opinion on the use of these drugs for nonmedicinal use. According to her writing, the use of these drugs is becoming more widespread than it should. In my analysis I will focus on how Talbot uses these strategies
A blockbuster drug is the one which generates more than $1 billion of revenue for the pharmaceutical company that sells it each year."In the pharmaceutical industry, a blockbuster drug is termed as the one that achieves acceptance by prescribing physicians as a therapeutic standard for, most commonly, a highly prevalent chronic (rather than acute) condition. 'Blockbuster’ drugs play a key role in the pharmaceutical industry. However, discovery and development alone are not enough to create a blockbuster; the firms must be able to market the drug aggressively to achieve the potential gains from their innovation. A report from URCH Publishing estimated that one third of the pharma market is accounted for by blockbuster drugs by value. Between 2000 and 2005 drugs with more than $1billion in sales accounted for 28 to 36% of global sales changes in the sales of these drugs can cause large changed in a firms profitability .There are arguments that while many firms are capable of discovering and developing new drugs, only a handful of firms are capable of successfully commercializing a breakthrough innovation. This commercialization capability is what creates a blockbuster: without this capability, even a major innovation would not reach blockbuster status For example: Cimetidine was the first drug to reach a $1 billion target thus making it a blockbuster drug.
According to Benedict Carey, taking pills to enhance performance in academia is flourishing. Throughout his argument he talks about how individuals are using pills such as Adderall or Provigil to help boost one’s abilities. In his perspective he sees taking stimulants as a horrendous problem within the academic field.

I chose Drug use as my topic because since my early years as a child I can remember someone in my life always being addicted to drugs or using drugs. Because of this I have seen many of the trends of what drugs are out on the streets, in schools, and in our own homes.

When I was in school they did not impliment drug awarness programs, talk to us much about drug use or even show us in our classes the war America is facing when it comes to drugs.

He used logos, ethos, and pathos while speaking. Chatterjee’s logos argument included specific medical journals that did not show any added risk of
How is developing a civilization similar to developing a new medicine to cure a disease? They are similar in the way that they are both made up of “building blocks” and if put together well they are successful. Starting a civilization involves multiple steps. Developing a new medicine is a journey in which multiple actions need to be taken. Both civilizations and drug development have one thing in common, they both take very long to accomplish and there are many steps involved.
