Hi guys, I would like some of your input or help on my undergraduate politics dissertation. It is due for the 25th of April, so 3 weeks pretty much. I have not started, and have done a very limited amount of reading(however I do now have LOADS of books, articles and journals) . I am starting today, and I hope to get it done in time. The dissertation is 10,000 words. I also have another 7,000 words in other essays to do! As you can probably tell, I am starting to worry.
The title I have come up with, which is not yet set in stone is something along the lines of this:
The US has been loosing Nixon’s War on Drugs since 1971. It is time to consider a policy of decriminalisation of cannabis in the US to end this futile war
This may be reworded to make it more sophisticated etc.
My plan for the chapters is to focus upon
1) The economic benefits of decriminalisation
2) The public health benefits of decriminalisation
I am struggling to think of some other appropriate chapters to include. I had thought of the argument surrounding personal liberties, and the control that the government holds over the people may be viable as a chapter.
The structure of my dissertation is also something I am not completely certain upon. Should I include a history of prohibition of cannabis in the US?
For some reason, after I typed my title in bold, the rest of the post came in bold
Any help would be great!
