The third model of substance use disorders presented is the disease of the human spirit. This model suggests that as we enter the burdens and trials of life and become ungrounded with pain or voids in our lives we allow ourselves to feel pity and open ourselves up to our inwardly sinful nature. “It is at this point that some recoil in horror and become spiritual narcissists: self-centered, unwilling to see any reason to deny the “self” any desire or pleasure” (Doweiko, 2012, p. 357). This model believes that all individuals “all start out with hope, faith and fortitude” but when exposed to the ills of the world some “turn to chemicals to fill the perceived void within or to ease their pain” (Doweiko, 2012, p. 361).

The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to life?

In the speech,”Everything you know about addiction is wrong,” spoken by Johann Hari, attempts to inform the audience about how society takes drug addiction the wrong way and is completely normal for a human to use drugs as a last resort in life. The presentation starts off when he explains to the audience the many different drug addicts he has met in his life a few years ago while traveling a long 30,000 mile journey. He then goes onto stating from his research that everything humanity has been taught about drugs is completely backwards. A experiment was done in the 50’s to show the relationship between drugs and social life. The reason people start drugs is not because they want to, but it is caused by not being able to bear a present in your life. Moreover, there is cruel punishments of drug abuse in America and how Portugal has tried to change it in their country. Luckily people can get over any kind of addiction when they have a friend or blood relative that they can call on if they have a crisis. Finally, people should be more supportive and open in their heart when it comes to others that have a addiction. The author uses logos and pathos to emotionally connect and comfort the people that have thought about drugs in their life and people that dislike drugs and addicts, but using ethos he tries to make a change in the natural drug habitat.

Drugs, smoking, drinking, and partying are many extracurricular activities that many teens across the world participate in and struggle with.

In the article “Drugs and Socializing”, it states, “addicts who consume drugs lose the bond with their family because that’s all they want in which comes to be hurtful to their health which can be deadly”, this indicates that an individual that's in a state of isolation and takes bad choices can harm one’s life for forever (Sara Bellum). Isolation can provoke corruption on someone’s healthy life. Addicts who consume drugs do it because that’s their way of letting go of all stress, this is where Isolation slowly but surely starts drowning people in which comes to harm in an instant. The consuming of drugs makes heart problems and liver issues come to play all because isolation from individuals and their loved one’s. In the Metamorphosis, it is seen that similarity there’s Gregor who holds an obsession that also comes to affect him drastically.

To conclude, many devastating things that can occur if a person does not try to get better as far as breaking free from anything that can trigger Isolation and health problems that could

Individually, we create a metaphorical puzzle as we reflect on our life. These puzzle pieces represent all of the small-scale decisions we’ve made. Inside of those decisions, also consists of other people and how they influenced our upbringings. When this puzzle is put together, all of these decisions create one large picture. Specifically, Wes Moore’s “puzzle” obtains unfinished than other people, these pieces may not fit particularly well with other pieces, and they may never will. The reader may never perceive why Wes made any of the poor decisions he has made in his lifetime, nevertheless, there’s one large section of the puzzle that holds together–this would be Wes Moore’s influence from drug abuse. The idea of drug abuse continues to be frowned upon by other people. However, what most people may not understand is that there’s an addiction that comes with it, not an addiction to the drugs specifically, though an addiction to the lifestyle that came with it.

This is one of the reasons I think Bobby has come of age. In the nextparagraph i'm going to tell another reason how Bobby has come of age.""The second reason to how Bobby has come of age is he is losing his old identity andgaining a new one as he is coming of age. In the book "The First Part Last" he spray paints awall. This wall symbolizes all his positive memories from being a kid all the way to when Featherwas born. Then Johnson goes on to say, "Finally it's just me and that thing in the baby carrierwho doesn't have a face" (pg.60). In this chapter he wants to find the baby's face but he can't. Ina few chapters after that Angela says "I climb the stairs and think about holding her, or maybeI'm really thinking about just holding on to her"(pg.75). He realized Feather is the missing piece inhis life and he wants to keep it that way and not lose her. He needs to lose his old partying anddoing whatever he wants identity and get a new mature and father like identity in order to dothat.This has to do with Angela Johnson's discussion regarding coming of age because he has tochange so much to be mature it's like he's gaining a new identity and growing up.This is anotherreason I think Bobby has come of age.

And this quote means that bobby has lost respect for himself and his friends have lost respect for him. This makes bobby feel upset because no one respects him and now he is treated as if he wasn't even there.

A symbol that is shown is the symbol of the arcade, and children playing games. Bobby will see these children, or talk of what his friends are doing in the arcade; furthermore, it shows that Bobby wants to be a kid again. A symbol that is also shown is the symbol of the bubblegum. The bubblegum found on page 108 shows that he feels the temptation to leave Feather behind, and to just have his life be easy and simple. These symbols all show his longing to be a kid again, but he doesn’t follow these promptings. Bobby always seems to only glance at these symbols, but not put them to action. He doesn’t want to leave Feather all alone, even if it is hard. Another thing that Bobby does throughout the book is he censors himself. Instead of speaking out loud, he stops himself. On page forty-two, Bobby thinks to himself while the teacher is talking, and doesn’t try to contradict what the teacher is saying. He tries his hardest to just listen and keep the situation from getting worse. Throughout the book, Bobby says that he sometimes wants to be like Feather. He even acts like he is Feather’s brother on page 82 saying, “Yeah, she’s easy to deal with, my sister,” in order to get out of the responsibility of being a parent, yet he still has to take care of Feather at the end of the day. “This must be what made my mom’s eyes narrow and nasty words come out of her mouth. This must be what helped give my dad an ulcer and that look on his face that says-what next (Page 33)?” Bobby is able to realize that what he has done has changed the lives of his parents, and it has made the situation harder for his family overall. He feels bad, saying, “I feel worse because I’m taking my dad’s smile and probably some more things he’ll never talk about (Page 74),” and he sees that he might have taken his dad’s smile away. He feels guilty, and therefore decides that he will do as much as he can without his parent’s help. This

In his research Jay Macleod, compares two groups of teenage boys, the Hallway Hangers and the Brothers. Both groups of teenagers live in a low income neighborhood in Clarendon Heights, but they are complete opposites of each other. The Hallway Hangers, composed of eight teenagers spend most of their time in the late afternoon or early evening hanging out in doorway number 13 until very late at night. The Brothers are a group of seven teenagers that have no aspirations to just hang out and cause problems, the Brothers enjoy active pastimes such as playing basketball. The Hallway Hangers all smoke, drink, and use drugs. Stereotyped as “hoodlums,” “punks,” or “burnouts” by outsiders, the Hallway Hangers are actually a varied group, and much

Dali’s painting appears to be representative of mainly the subconscious mind because many of the elements in the painting express objects or ideas that are highly characteristic of memories, dreams, or even socially unacceptable elements. More importantly, The Museum of Modern Art explains that a year before this painting was made Dali began to undergo his “paranoiac-critical method” which stimulated
