PART A
As described in the introduction paragraph of this editorial, “Legalize Drugs-All of Them” the author is a retired police officer whom favors legalization of all drugs. His subjectivity on the legalization of drugs is based on his life experience as an officer. His experience of daily handling situations created by drugs and drug use has molded his subjectivity on the legalization of drugs. He has been witness to many situations involving the subject at hand and has formed his opinion based on past experiences.
The author’s subjectivity has influenced the opinion he expresses in his nonfiction work by illustrating that he feels as if drugs being legalized will help eliminate additional issues that are caused by drugs. His work expresses his belief that making drugs legal will inevitably create a more peaceful place for everyone to live, including the police officers who sacrifice their safety while fighting to keep drugs off of the street while, in his opinion, more imminent crimes need the attention of said officers. His work as an officer gives him a unique outlook on the subject and leads him to feel passionately about the legalization of drugs. His opinion is highlighted through his experience in the field as an officer.
The author’s subjectivity is illustrated throughout his writing in many aspects. Aside from the excerpt stating his life experiences effect on his opinion, it is obvious of his subjectivity through his writing in this editorial. The author uses harsh analogies such as “in declaring a war on drugs, we’ve declared war on our fellow citizens” (Stamper, 2005) to reference the criminalization of drugs in our society. This sentence emphasizes his disgust for the constant struggle they are fighting to eliminate the presence of drugs in our country. His disgust on this war being fought is clearly created by the everyday battle he fought as an officer. The tone set in the paragraph demonstrates that he feels angry that we are treating our citizens as “less than human”. Other harsh words in the editorial such as “hostiles, enemies, fear, loathe, and demonize” help emphasize his point on the negative connotation associated with drug use. He feels that we are attacking the people who have fallen victim to the usage and selling of drugs, while legalizing and regulating drugs, in the author’s opinion, would eliminate all the negative effects. This type of tone demonstrates that he is tired of fighting the fight against drugs, where there are more violent and heinous crimes to focus attention on. (Stamper, 2005) The author expresses his subjectivity through his writing also through his choice of argument and by what he does not say. The author expresses that the city would be “infinitely healthier place to live and raise a family” creating a happy thought for the reader to sell his opinion. He also expresses his subjectivity that when drugs are legalized, that being a cop would be a safer occupation, with greater job satisfaction, showing his desire to face less violence which he associates with the illegalization of drugs. What the author leaves out of the editorial are statistics or theories involving the negative side of legalizing drugs. This demonstrates his strong opinion and the one-sided argument he portrays.

Paragraphs from Editorial
Legalize Drugs- All of Them
Author: Norm Stamper
In declaring a war on drugs, we've declared war on our fellow citizens. War requires "hostiles" — enemies we can demonize, fear and loathe. This unfortunate categorization of millions of our citizens justifies treating them as dope fiends, less than human. That grants political license to ban the exchange or purchase of clean needles or to withhold methadone from heroin addicts motivated to kick the addiction.
Combined with treatment, education and other public-health programs for drug abusers, regulated legalization would make your city or town an infinitely healthier place to live and raise a family.
It would make being a cop a much safer occupation, and it would lead to greater police accountability and improved morale and job satisfaction

PART B
One aspect of my subjectivity that might conflict with my responsibilities as a teacher in the future would be my religious beliefs. I am not an extremely religious person but I am set in the way I was raised and in certain foundations of my faith. There are many ways in which this subjectivity could negatively affect my ability to be an open and efficient teacher. One of the most obvious ways in which this subjectivity will affect my teaching would be in the teaching of curriculum surrounding the theories by which the universe was created. It is my belief that the universe was created by God, however, it is required to teach students about the scientific creation of the universe. Naturally, my subjectivity may create a minimized desire to explain the scientific creation of the universe to my students. In order to avoid my subjectivity from negatively affecting my teaching and to avoid conflicting with my students beliefs on the matter, I intend to do further research on the subject in order to completely understand the evidence surrounding the creation of the universe in regards to what the curriculum requires to be taught. I will set aside my subjectivity on this matter to allow the students to learn the material as it is intended to be taught and not let my beliefs or opinions affect my tone or choice of words on the subject. This might seem like a difficult task to complete, however, I believe if I thoroughly research and get a full understanding as to why scientists believe the universe was created in the way that they state, I will be able to implement my research and present it in an objective way. I intend to state facts as to what is scientifically known and only present the facts, not opinions. I know that my subjectivity in this matter may also be reflective of some of the student’s subjectivity, but it is important to present all the students with the information required to be learned for their educational experience.
