Drugs : The Use Of Drugs In Our Society

Drugs are not only legal in the society, but encouraged. In my opinion, the drugs are used to keep people’s minds occupied and to suppress their ideas or opinions. A reason that the people in the society turn to drugs is a lack of love. They are not shown any love by their family, and they do not feel any love towards their family. This causes a void that they feel the need to fill. Because the people are encouraged to use drugs, they do not question it, and they rely on them for their happiness. Once, when Millie overdosed on drugs, Montag called emergency services. When they came to help Millie, they said, “Hell… we get these cases nine or ten a night,” (Bradbury 15). This shows how heavily drugs are relied on. Although drugs are not legal in today’s society, we are somewhat close to Bradbury’s picture. There have been protests all over to legalize marijuana, and some states, such as Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington, have legalized the drug. Also, our family life also contributes to the increased drug abuse. For example, in the article “Risk Factors for Adolescent Alcohol and Drug Use/Abuse Prevention”, it states, “Family factors appear especially important in the early initiation to drug use and the initiation to illicit drugs…” (Bogenschneider). Because many teens today have parents who are uninvolved in their lives, it is very easy for them to abuse substances. This just proves the point that our society is close to the society that Bradbury created in his novel Fahrenheit

According to the text, what factorshave been major contributors to the demise of the two-parent household?

In Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, there is a drug used and mentioned throughout the story called Soma. The characters have been conditioned by birth that Soma is always the answer when you feel alone or sad. This drug is used so people can go on "holidays" from their reality and is used as payment for the lower caste groups. People want Soma because they go on these highs and live in their "Heaven" to escape reality. After all, they do call Soma "All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects"(Huxley 54). Soma becomes a tool to control the people in society.

ADD TITLE Illegal drugs has been a problem for many years in North America especially United States. Illegal drugs like cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and others are dangerous towards the society because they comprise harmful chemicals and toxins. These drugs trigger certain behaviour in some which causes them to act in a way that has an effect on their family and community. Some go beyond just impacting their family and community, and fall in the hands of association with criminal activities.

Substance abuse is known through most populations, particularly acknowledged in the lower economic class. Drug are becoming more popular in this day in time. Drugs are getting the attention of younger teenagers and adults. It is hard to determine if a person is using drugs or not. Substance abuse is a topic that has been spread in the society and is often look upon as the leftover of an inconsiderate acquisitiveness. As you can see on the news more parents are using heroin and other drugs such as cocaine to get a high and will pass out in front of their children. Therefore, heroin and synthetic opioids are driving a recent increase in cocaine-related abuse.

Social conflicts and struggles are an inevitable part of any society in any country. These struggles can include an increased rate in crime, unemployment, domestic/general violence, and overall civilian depression. When governments cannot seem to find a means to an end, they often turn and look for something to blame for their struggles, and that thing is more often than not, drugs. For many years, several opiates and drugs were primarily used for medicinal purposes, were seen to have an abundance of health benefits and was widely accepted among communities. Although, with the increasing social conflicts and economic conditions, authorities turned to and targeted many different forms of once accepted drugs, and made them the scapegoat for the problems they were facing.

Did you know that in 2011, almost five people per hour dies of a drug overdose in the U.S alone? Good morning/afternoon everyone, isn’t it shocking to learn how easy it is to die of a drug overdose, yet, it seems, people in Brave New World are willing to take them in order to retain a permanent happiness holiday 24/7. Drugs both play a massive role in Brave New World and our modern society. I’m sure if I were to ask you if you knew of anyone who has ever tried drugs, I think we all would know the answer. It seems that in The World State you cannot find one person who doesn’t take drugs. Throughout this seminar we are going to see how drugs play an important role in both Brave New World and our modern day society for different reasons but also for some of the same reasons.

In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the use of drugs has a major impact as to how society will function in the future. Huxley’s vision for the future is very similar as to how the world is run today. By creating the idea of soma, a drug that is regulated by the government and given to every person in the World State, Huxley is constructing a society that is dependent upon narcotics that aim to achieve peace and happiness among all working classes. Huxley’s attempt to predict the distribution of drugs was accurate regarding the regulation of drugs through the government; however, the reality of drugs in modern day has drastic differences compared to his vision.

Drugs in society have been a part of society for hundreds of year, and the usage of them definitely has to do with the psychology in the users and certainly the abusers. Throughout history, the way society views and uses of drugs has been different from culture to culture. In some cultures it is a natural consumption, while in others it is strictly forbidden both by law and society’s stigma. Addiction to drugs has always been around and it has always been a problem, in both places with strict and relaxed laws about drug use, how different patients are treated is a different issue. There are many facets to the battle against drugs like in the United States there is a current debate on the legalization of marijuana in all the states. When you

The problem here in México is that drug dealers are taking our country and the government is working with them below the water. Why is this affecting our country? Why the government is not doing nothing about it? First of all we have to see why and how these two themes are related. Drugs have been affecting our country since the very beginning but in this last five years it has been worse, since the drugs have been consumed in an excessive way and without moderation, this is bringing violence and with this, insecurity to our country.

Although some people argue for the legalization of drugs, addiction to these substances has caused a huge increase in violent crimes in the home, at school, and on the street. Many people do not understand why individuals become addicted to drugs or how drugs change the brain to create compulsive drug abuse. They mistakenly view drug abuse and addiction as strictly a social problem and may characterize those who take drugs as morally weak. One very common belief is that drug abusers should be able to just stop taking drugs if they are only willing to change their behavior. This is a false and uneducated belief. Drug abuse may start as a social problem or social escape but one the addiction has taken ahold of a person

Drugs have been used throughout the world for thousands of years, whereas drug use has existed here in the U.S for a little over a hundred years. Regardless of the time of existance or when and why they were created, drug use is and has always been a major problem throughout our society. From the opium addicts of the late 1800s (The Drug Policy Alliance, 2016), the Rock and Roll heroine addicts of the 1960s and 70s, to the creation of a more affordable cocaine-like drug called "crack" in the 1980 's, drugs have consistently been proven to contribute to criminal behavior, signifancantly change individuals, warp relationships, ruin lives, and even end them. Since this realization, the justice system of our country has taken many different approches to combating drugs and the problems that they create.
