Dilemmas Of Drug Testing Rhetorical Analysis

Summary
From reviewing several articles, the one that stood out the most was “the Dilemmas of Drug Testing.” “The Dilemmas of Drug Testing,” was written by Claire Andre and Manuel Velasquez.

In this article the roles included the employers and employees.

On a professional level with most jobs I have held I could understand why they do conduct the test. You have to make sure that the people that you are hiring is able to deal with private information and make sure they are trustworthy
