Where Are The - Say No To Drugs - Campaigns?

It seemed like such a long time ago when campaigns against illegal drugs were a major priority in our societies. At that time, educators were visiting schools intending to educate about the dangers of using narcotics.  Additionally, wherever we looked, there was a poster to encourage us to keep away from them.

Where are the educators today?

Many things have indeed changed since the ’90s, and many more things are demanding our attention today, but what about illegal substances?

What about the previous campaigns? Were they so successful that everyone received the message, and because of that, we do not have a drug problem in our societies today?

Now and then, a trickle of information such as the abuse of legal drugs are just as dangerous as the abuse of illegal ones, comes through the media, and if we are looking for information on this topic, we could find it. Nevertheless, is this enough?

Whether adults or younger, our children need to know that it is better to say no to drugs than yes to a possible life of destructiveness.

In some societies, it seems as though it is the norm for them to use illegal substances, and if any individuals among them do not use them, they are looked upon as being “strange.”

Many other things need to be campaigned about, such as bullying, online safety, cancer, Aids… oh no, Aids is no longer a problem in our societies. There is a cure for it, isn’t there?

Well, indeed, there are many things that we need to address. Therefore, let’s not put aside any of these issues by thinking that one “thing” is more important than another.

Belarus – Rhombicuboctahedron Building

The top part of the National Library of Belarus in Minsk is in the shape of a Rhombicuboctahedron. That is, it has eight triangular and eighteen square faces. It is said to be one of the best libraries in the world. The National Library of Belarus opened in 1922. However, on the 16th June 2006 a new building, which took several years to complete, was opened. The library has over 8 million items in it, and this includes over 70,000 manuscripts, graphics, visual and audio documents. This twenty-two-story building also has a book museum, twenty reading halls, a sky deck and a center for international meetings and negotiations.   Notes: https://www.belarus.by/en/about-belarus/architecture/national-library https://www.nlb.by/en/about-the-library/
