Do Multivitamins Really Work?:
It seems counterintuitive that multivitamins claiming to have grande positive effects on our health in many reliable cases prove to be quite useless, and for some even harmful.
With the recent surge in people making healthier choices here in the western world, many individuals are already unknowingly getting the adequate amount of each vitamin through their diet alone. Therefore adding supplements on top of that proves to be counterintuitive for many, and an excess of certain vitamins can actually lead to problems. Such as too much Iron can cause Heart Disease, etc.
There is an ongoing debate between politicians, manufacturers, and consumers regarding the legitimacy of statements made by supplement companies, however, the age of this article (2012) could prove to yield outdated information.
There’s More to Life Than Being Happy:
It seems counterintuitive that your life containing “happiness” is not always paired with “meaning”.
The philosophy that while many of us claim to be “happy”, since we are all just fellow travelers to the grave, true “meaning” is what satisfies and fulfills our lives. It is brought up that in several surveys many Americans feel their lives lack meaning. And those who find meaning in even the worst of circumstances overall prove to have a more pleasant life.
Vancouver combats heroin by giving its addicts the best smack in the world:
It seems extremely counterintuitive that in an effort to get heroin off the streets of downtown Vancouver, through doctor’s prescriptions, authorities are giving free heroin to extreme addicts directly.
According to the 2015 article, government and medical authorities in Vancouver are giving 26 extremely troubled addicts- the ones that rejected all other treatment- heroin, and supplying all the necessary tools and environment to take the drug; legally and without consequences.
Their ideology is that supplying the drug in a safe dosage and with nurse observation will prevent the inevitable OD that happens daily from the street heroin found in Vancouver.
The current status of this policy is unknown, the article is outdated (2015).

Vancouver combats heroin by giving its addicts the best smack in the world:
Very Good Summary but to no Purpose: It seems extremely counterintuitive that in an effort to get heroin off the streets of downtown Vancouver, through doctor’s prescriptions, authorities are giving free heroin to extreme addicts directly. According to the 2015 article, government and medical authorities in Vancouver are giving 26 extremely troubled addicts—the ones that rejected all other treatment—heroin, and supplying all the necessary tools and environment to take the drug; legally and without consequences. (Contains a Punctuation Error: Semicolon) Their ideology is that supplying the drug in a safe dosage and with nurse observation will prevent the inevitable OD that happens daily from the street heroin found in Vancouver.
Only one student scored higher than you on this assignment, Sinatraman. Your work is excellent by that measure, but I don’t give away high As to students who are capable of better. Fix the grammar and punctuation errors and write with more Purpose. You’re being fair; you’re summarizing beautifully; but the purpose of a Purposeful Summary assignment is to SHAPE the material to your Authorial advantage. You don’t need to reflect your true opinion, but you do have to express one—explicitly or implicitly—whether you have one or not.
