Available from: https://www.dw.com/en/chinas-medicinal-tiger-bones-and-rhino-horns-tradition-or-travesty/a-46193315 ANIMAL “HORN”TINGS “Last week, China's State Council said the country would reverse a ban on the trade of products made from tigers and rhinos. Officials in Beijing said that trade volume would be "controlled" and tiger bones and rhino horns would only be obtained from animals in captivity for use in “medical research or healing”. There was no reason given for removing the ban and the announcement drew condemnation from wildlife activists along with doctors of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese consumers. Tiger bones and rhino horns may have a role in traditional Chinese medicine, but critics say that trendy health products with no medical value made from endangered animals are only a status symbol for the wealthy.” Construct an essay on inhumane cultural practices (please number your paragraphs clearly).

Available from: https://theculturetrip.com/africa/south-africa/articles/what-to-know-about-south-africas-marijuana-legalisation/ TO WEED, OR NO TO WEED, THAT IS THE QUESTION “South Africa’s constitutional court has recently ruled that personal use of cannabis is no longer a criminal offence, but the landmark ruling has left more questions than answers for many of the country’s residents and visitors eager to light up. Until recently, all use of marijuana, also called dagga, in South Africa was totally illegal. But in 2018, the High Court ruled that South Africa’s ban of the personal and private use of marijuana was an infringement on the country’s “constitutional right to privacy”. Although the confirmation was met with celebration from those in favour of marijuana consumption, to the point that many people sparked up on the streets outside the court, experts have warned that the ruling is slightly more complex and nuanced than many realise. In fact, those who lit up on the steps of the Conditional Court were in direct violation of the law. Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo said that the judgement doesn’t specify the amount that can be used by an adult in private use; this must still be determined by South Africa’s parliament. He also clarified that “it must be for the personal use of the person”.” Construct an essay on the dangers of substance abuse (please number your paragraphs clearly). Use the following as a guideline: ● Define the term “substance abuse” and mention TWO health risks of long-term substance abuse. (1+2) (3) ● Discuss THREE ways that this new law could lead to risky behaviour. (3X2) (6) ● Imagine that you are a guidance counsellor at your school advising a student on the dangers of substance abuse. Suggest TWO strategies he/ she could employ to convince his/her peers not to get involved with marijuana (weed). In your answer, also indicate the positive impact of EACH of these strategies.
