Provisional proposition - Union (wit is the best weapon.)

Provisional proposition - Union (wit is the best weapon.) 

In the academic writing exercise that is part 5 of chapter 7 of Quest, "Medicine and Drugs: Addictive Substances," Pamela Hartmann asks us to answer one of the questions on pages 224 and 227 (2007).  

• I have chosen to answer the question:  
   What can be done to persuade children not to begin taking illicit drugs?

________________________________________________

• My provisional proposition is: 
   We should provide the children with the information about the pros and cons of illicit drugs abuse as well as effect on their life.

Briefly, I think this is one effective solution (there might be others) because:

• Children's curiosity cannot be forbidden anymore because of the communication technology.
• Children may get the distorted or half truth story from the biased source.
• Children can access to the illicit drug sooner or later.
• Good, enough and well rounded informations they derive can lead to the better decision they make.
