Gambing

Gambling has been around for so many years. Some forms of gambling are legal while others are not. There are many pros and cons to everything in life. I am choosing to write about gambling because there has been a lot of debate recently about it. Alot people have mixed feelings about the growth of legalized gambling. Some see it as a harmless activity. Others are concerned about some of the more serious consequences related to gambling. One of the most serious consequences related to gambling is addiction. When a person is addicted to gambling some bad things can occur. So the question is should gambling be allowed to stay the way it is, should it be strictly regulated, or should gambling be illegal? Some may argue that gambling has evolved into an American pastime and should stay that way. In this view gambling is not a problem. Gambling creates some jobs, and helps local economies. The second option is to regulate gambling to make it safer. Although gambling can be a fun activity, it can also be very dangerous to those who abuse it. There are several different ways the government could regulate gambling going on legally. One way to regulate gambling is to force states to stop promoting and advertising their lotteries. They can also stop casinos that give out free alcohol or any other type of complimentary services. Overall gambling can be dangerous to some of the United States citizens and the government has a duty to protect them from such risks. The third option is to completely outlaw gambling. This would stop any further growth in gambling what so ever. Gambling helps make people believe that they can get something for nothing and success is achieved by luck and chance rather than by hard work and intelligence. One big argument as to why gambling should be legal is because we can tax it and benefit a large amount of money from it. The taxes we would collect could fund new schools and programs for kids. People will gamble even if it’s illegal...
