Ecstasy: The Life Speed Of The 21st Century

Advancement is both the most noteworthy accomplishment and worst thing about humankind. Innovations and revelations are not innately great or underhandedness; nonetheless, contingent on who wields them they can be a power for kindheartedness or noxiousness.

     Ecstasy, or 3, 4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine, was first synthesized and patented in 1914, by the German drug company Merck. The original purpose of the drug was to be an appetite suppressant, however in 1970 it was given to clinical depressed patients to open them up and talk about their feelings. Then in 1986, Ecstasy was determined to cause brain damage (http://faculity.washington.edu/chudler/mdma.html).

The study that I will critique and review in this paper is called “Adolescent Ecstasy Use: A Test of Social Bonds and Social Learning Theory” and it was published by an associate professor, Jason A. Ford, and a professor, Laurent B. Ford in the department of sociology in University of Central Florida in 2014. It is a research paper that focuses of the relationship between two social theories, social control theory and social learning theory, and ecstasy usage among adolescents. The theoretical perspective that this study chose to examine separated this specific study among the other in its field of study because it fill a missing point in understanding why ecstasy usage among adolescents increased. In the following paper, I will be reviewing different strengths and weaknesses of this study while using a descriptive language. In general this is astudy that

In The Ecstasy Of Influence: A Plagerism, the author Jonathan Lethem attempts to decipher the difference between getting an idea that is influenced by another’s work, and plagiarizing somebody’s work. Not only does he discuss the multiple times in history where new ideas have been derived from other works, but he also attempts to discover where the line can be drawn between influence and plagiarism. Throughout the work, the author discussed what he thinks about adopting ideas and why some people may consider something plagiarism while others may not. He argues that while some artists may consider similar ideas to be a form of plagiarism, others like himself see the sharing of ideas & being influenced and inspired by other works is what helps

The living quarters above the saloon allowed Victor Rodriguez to watch over his establishment and maintain his privacy. Seated alone at the slant-front desk, he counted the week’s receipts and sipped his whiskey. Satisfied with the total, he placed enough money in an envelope for an ordinary bank deposit and slid the rest to the side, bumping a stack of newspapers that fanned out to the edge of the desk.

Technology contributes immensely to the field of warfare. However, it is not the sole source of innovation. Exceedingly, it is the need for new or improving methods that force change. Subsequently technology is not the root of innovation, rather it is a contributing factor. The true driving force for innovation is necessity. No saying best describes this aspect than the quote from Plato’s book The Republic, “a true creator is necessity, which is the mother of our invention.”

Every day people create innovations because they are never satisfied with their current lives and they strive for improvements. How a person goes about achieving that goal determines the outcome. If a person is sagacious and pragmatic, they will be successful. Consequently, if a person is impractical and does everything without thinking, the outcome could be detrimental. Mary Shelley’s main protagonist, Victor Frankenstein, in Frankenstein, David Gow from Geoff Brumfiel’s article “Replaceable You”, and Dr. Rosen from his interview, “Dr. Daedalus” for Harper’s Magazine all feel they could create something that enhances the world.

While mainly all drugs are supplied into the U.S, the country also produces some illegal drugs on a relatively large scale. The most common illegal drug that is made in the U.S is cannabis. The country has never been a big exporter of illegal drugs. In fact, mostly every drug consumed is imported. One of the drugs that is snuggled into the U.S is ecstasy. Canada is a significant producer of ecstasy.

As stated in (McCaughan (2004)"Ecstasy was first developed in 1914 as a weight loss aid, it was never marketed for that purpose. In 1970 the drug began to get some popularity among clinical psychologist as an aid to psychotherapy and marriage counseling in the United States". More than a decade later, DEA placed the MDMA drug into the list of schedule drugs, however the popularity of the drug gained attention among the youth subcultures. The way that this drug is distributed throughout the public is in pill form; they vary from color and designs, an example would be superman symbol, different cartoon characters, etc.; as color goes, it varies from white, blue, pink, etc.. This drugs has also gained attention in recent Hollywood Movies like Bad Boys 2, when of

Ecstasy, a word stemming from Late Latin extasis, meaning "entrancement, astonishment, insanity; any displacement or removal from the proper place." The definition is rather spot on given the side effects that the hallucinogenic drug produces. Ecstasy or MDMA (Methylenedioxymethamphetamine) originates from Germany when chemist Anton Köllisch was performing trial and error experiments with Amphetamine. At the time of its creation, Köllisch worked for pharmaceutical company Merck, who later in 1913 patents the drug. Although ecstasy is seen as a highly addictive drug with no purpose in our society today the drug was actually meant to sold as a appetite supplement. Many of Köllisch did not believe their coworker when he stated the reasoning

In the realm of innovations, the importance of daily inventions which was always debatable, has now become more controversial. With many people claiming that it is beneficial, while others reject this notion. The substantial influence of new inventions in our daily lives has sparked the controversy over the potential impact of this trend in recent years. This essay will further elaborate both advantages and disadvantages of inventions and thus will lead to a logical conclusion.

The most interesting future research direction that comes to mind for me is the line between warm and hot. To clarify, it is a well-known psychological phenomenon that as temperatures rise, so does aggressive behavior. If physical warmth, as demonstrated in this study, increases interpersonal warmth, where does that effect stop and begin moving toward that increased aggression? I’d be interested to see if the manner in which the physical temperature is delivered also plays a factor. In this study, it was a more concentrated, subtle approach to priming temperature. Would turning the heat or air conditioning on high influence interpersonal warmth similarly? Instead of concentrating the physical temperature on one part of the body (the hand),

Women can be ready for vaginal intercourse right away, provided that the chemistry or sexual polarity between her and her partner is STRONG and/or the woman has cultivated a very strong receptivity to masculine energy in general. That being said, women need to feel safe, secure, relaxed and unhurried in order to become fully engorged vaginally. This requires a) emotional intimacy and b) physical foreplay that stimulates her entire body, especially her breasts, womb and ass (buttocks). When a woman is fully aroused, then vaginal intercourse and orgasm are super easy!

The populations of the contemporaneous society are being virtually assaulted by innovation and developments, whether they like it or not. The pace of life is rapid and events occur at a tumultuous rate.

The world that we live in is constantly changing. There are numerous inventions and new
