Illegal Drugs Argumentation Analysis
Issue
Drugs abuses have for a long time being criticized in the media
and all circles in life. There is a great tendency to connect the
youth who go out to rave as having an aim and intention to get
high. Bias characterizes the media portrayal of drugs use. The
need to regulate the social scenes in order to protect the youth
against drugs use and trafficking is contended(Partlow &
Miroff, 2015).

2. Backings
Objections
Fight against illegal drugs
Fight against drugs use and trafficking should be uprooted at
the source through barring of entry points around the country.
Mexico border points should have a strong police and law
enforcement authorities. Stereotyping the young people and
controlling their activities as this may affect the creative
industry.
Need to regulate social scenes
The social scenes should have serious and critical control by the
police as they are the main places where illegal drugs
trafficking take place.
Drugs Use and music festivals scenes
Music is connected to drugs use and trafficking as most young
people become high during the concerts and festivals.
Drug trafficking
Drug trafficking and use by the youth is mostly done through
the border points and not in the music and raves festivals. The
Cuban government and USA authorities should continue
working together at border points. In this sense, the internal
measures that are usually put in place and targets the young
people should not lead to the stereotyping all young

3. people(Ibale, 2015).
Media
The media fraternity creates image to the public that all raves
are characterized by illegal drugs use. There should be
regulation of the raves by young people in order to control
illegal drugs use during the music festivals. The media need to
continue covering the activities of the raves by the young
people(Partlow & Miroff, 2015).
Strong
weaker
The Government should put measures in place to make sure that
the rave and music festivals in order to protect the youth from
peer pressure that result to illegal drugs use.
Distribution of Warrant by Importance and Plausibility
Plausible Arguments
The most plausible arguments are the backings that support the
regulation of the raves in the society in order to protect the
young people from the influence of the use of drugs. Since most
of the young people find themselves in situations that they
cannot control in the music festivals, the government's bid to
regulate the industry will protect the majority of the young who

4. may find themselves trapped. The argumentation mapping
shows strong support of all the three propositions. To this end,
the support of the regulatory measures will help address the
main issue of drugs use and illegal trafficking of drugs in the
country(Ibale, 2015).
Stakeholder Group
Involvement in Issue
Interest in Issue
Influence/ power
Resources
Impact of Issue on the Stakeholder(s)
Legislative body
The government is involved in making laws that will aid in
actual provisions for police body to take control and investigate
all the festivals for any illegal drugs
Criminal responsibility of the drug users affects the way the
government achieves its duties and roles and enforcement of
laws.
The government owns the ultimate power over all the laws that
are put in place.
Money put aside for the fight against drugs use
High
Law enforcement authorities
Police through investigations and taking control of all the
festivals in the country will be responsible for a detection of
behaviors and illegal drugs use and trafficking
Police have a great mandate of ensuring that the entertainment
scenes are not turned to illegal drugs syndicates.
Have the strength in enforcing laws
Will be funded by the government to support or oppose the
entertainment freedom.

5. High
Young generation
The young people in the country have a voice in issues and
policies that concern them. In this views, the influence of
illegal drugs that may affect them during entertainment times
will impact their lives
The laws and regulations will affect their entertainment, and
actual fun experienced.
Will have no power and influence on the implementation of the
laws.
Low resources for action on the policy.
Low
Parents groups
Parents should take care of their children. Laws and regulation
of drug abuse by their children greatly affect them and thus,
they are involved in the issues
Young people laws will impact on the development of children
in the country and thus, parents have an interest in the laws.
Have a strong support influence
Regulates availability of funds to the young children and thus
affects the drug use.
High
Music industry association
Music commentaries and industry groups oppose the laws of
regulating and taming the entertainment raves because of the
talents they nurture, and the opportunities created.
Music industry and entertainment are a source of livelihood.
Laws that threaten the access of the places will have an impact
on the associations.
Will have the ultimate power of influence on the laws affecting
the industry.
Have resources contributed by the entertainment members
High

6. Cumulative Distribution
Analysis of the Frequency Distribution
The cumulative distribution of the ideas by the stakeholders
flattens out showing great support of the regulations by the
government to the entertainment industry. In this view, the
policy is supported by all the players in the idea of regulation of
the industry. The graph flattens out immediately. The policy has
problems with some stakeholders such as the young generation,
and industry associations oppose the policy(Brechner, 2008).
Views on the Proposed U.S. Response to the Conflict in Bosnia
The conflict that is ongoing in Bosnia has necessitated some
policy makers and politicians to suggest a response from
America in various aspects. Personally, I view that the United
States should take action in order to protect the country's
economy and other interests of people of America living in
Bosnia. The continuation of the warfare in Bosnia continues to
deny opportunities for U.S citizens in various industries. Use of
military intervention in the country may make the country safe
for the people in the country and other interested stakeholders.
To this end, there will be satisfaction of all the stakeholders
who has an interest in the welfare of that country (Burg, 2009).
