Health Risk Behaviors : Binge Drinking And Binge Eating Occurred On Young Adults At Age 18-24.

The title of the essay “Facebook Friendonomics” is a play on words referencing “Freakonomics,” Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt’s successful book and podcast series that applies economic theories to other modern pop culture subjects. Furthermore, Brown makes his argument strongest by comparing “friends” to currency. Using an extended metaphor, Brown describes how “humans are natural pack rats… Friends are the currency of the socially networked world; therefore it follows that more equals better” (par 3). Brown uses this to reflect the modern day Facebook mindset of desiring more friends. The metaphor further develops the relationship between economics and friends as Brown states that “the more Friends you have, the less they’re worth” (par 3).

For my research project I decided to look at binge drinking in teens. Binge drinking interested me because so many teenagers drink alcohol when they go out and don’t know what consequences it has on the body. Binge drinking is the consumption of an unreasonable amount of alcohol in a short period of time. I have chosen to research ‘What are the psychological and physiological effects of binge drinking in teens?’. I chose this question because I wanted to inform myself and other teens on the effects of binge drinking. The research methods used throughout my research were internet articles and a survey.

Presidents of college campuses around the nation face issues of underage drinking and binge drinking on a regular basis and realizes that it is a danger and a problem. “Alcohol consumption is the third leading cause of death in the U.S., a major contributing factor to unintentional injuries, the leading cause of death for youths and young adults, and accounts for an estimated 75,000 or more deaths in the United States annually” (Wechsler 2010). Binge drinking can be loosely defined as consuming five or more drinks at one sitting for men and four drinks for women. Binge drinking amongst college students is a social activity that allows students to let loose and “fit in”.

Moreover, all types of friendship leave some sort of significant impact on each friend’s life. “They [friendships] render us vulnerable, and in

A recent event that showcases that binge drinking is still a problem for many college students at the University of Iowa is the story of one Iowa student during the 2013 football season. Samantha Goudie, who is a twenty-two year old University of Iowa student, was once known as ‘Vodka Samm’ not only around the Iowa City area but nationally. One day in a highly intoxicated state, she tried to jump onto the field during a regular home football game and after quickly being arrested was known around the nation as “The World’s Drunkest College Student.” She was cited for having a blood-alcohol level of .341 percent, which is more than four times the legal driving limit. This event just continued to help solidify the University of Iowa’s out of control party school reputation. However, it did bring light to the serious problem of the students binge drinking and its effects especially during home football games.

In 1987 most of the laws regarding alcohol consumption were put to work, and studies show that from 1987, the number of binge drinkers decreased. The amount 12th graders who reported binge drinking peaked in the early 1980s with a percent of 41. While in the early 1990s it was as low as 27.5. However, as mentioned earlier, the traffic accidents were alcohol was included had its decrease before the MLDA was changed. The decrease in binge drinking did also start before the law was signed. It had a greater decrease after the law was passed but none the less it cannot be proved to be only caused by the law.

The studies that involve perspective relevant to those who exhibit abusive alcoholic behavior are substantial in their findings as they relate to certain commonalities in social climate as well as chronic behaviors or activities that form analysis. Moreover, the literature review will present a synthesis of methodological decisions made in proceeding research development studies.

Social capital refers to the resources inherent in social relationships; it is considered the foundation of economic, political, and social development. To explore the media’s impact on social capital, we analyze the impact of media consumption at the individual level and the effects of media system structures at the national level. The results indicate that Internet use and informational media use increase social capital. Moreover, societies seem to benefit from open and free media systems as they support the production of social capital. In sum, we argue for a dissociation from a culturally pessimistic, one-sided point of view when discussing media effects. In today’s societies, media imply potential rather than restrictions.
