in drug use (Wodak, A., 2006, p. 837). Syringe exchange programs provide injection drug users with sterile syringes for little to no cost (Zhang, S., Yan, P., Archibald, C., 2004). Contracting blood-borne diseases from sharing and using infected needles contributes to the overall epidemic and can spread to populations outside of injection drug users (Zhang, et al. 2004).

In Changing Minds or Changing Channels, the authors Kevin Arceneaux and Martin Johnson state that we live in an area where it is easy for people to tune in to a television channel or any other source where we can be inform of current or past events which best fits our ideological predispositions.

The theory is known by other names as well: Magic Bullet Theory, Transmission-Belt Model and Hypodermic-Syringe Model. Hypodermic Needle Theory was not based on a research.Actually it was founded on the assumption that humans are controlled by their surrounding nature, will react instinctively to passing stimuli in similar ways. The theory suggests that the mass media may influence

about how HIV spreads without having sex? The primary motivation is needle trade. Numerous general public layers raise these worries; in any case, this worry isn’t an explanation behind the legislature to support the needle trade program (NEP) (Wordpress). "They give sterile needles in return to sullied or utilized needles to build access to sterile needles and to expel tainted syringes from dissemination in the group." (Vlahov). Needle trade has turned out to be disputable reasonable discussion point

The controversial issue of whether to distribute sterile needles and Narcan or Naloxone to addicts has been an increasing issue. The increase in the use of injectable substances such as opioids has caused a rise in the number of blood borne diseases, such as HIV. Programs have tried to combat this rise by distributing clean needles to addicts through needle exchange programs. These programs trade unsanitary, used needles for fresh, sterile ones. These programs also distribute the reversal medication

obstacles and disappoints in their path to establish a needle exchange program in Baltimore. Peter Beilenson did not come up with the idea by himself, but got the idea, while working at John Hopkins in 1990, from the then health commissioner, Maxie Collier (Beilenson, 62). The program was hard subject to bring up and many politicians would not pass a bill for it.

The government should impose a tax on needles being used for drug use so the needle price increases, whereas at the same time the amount of heroin users decrease as does the risk of getting diseases such as AIDS or HIV. The Government should adopt needle exchange programs. When the government adopts needle exchange programs for heroin use, the users would not being sharing needles with other people as much and if there is sharing of needles the needle exchange

They cannot change it in any way and it is up to the writers to decide what happens and when. Hypodermic Needle Model The Hypodermic Needle Theory is one of the oldest in the field of media studies. Also known as the Magic Bullet Theory, it states that media has a direct, complete and immediate effect on the audience. The message for the media is directly received and wholly

Discussion of the View that Violence on Screen Can Cause Violence in Society The screening of violence and the effects it has on the media ahs been a controversial issue for a long time. Many researches have been carried out to prove or disprove the hypothesis that violence in the media can cause violence in society and as a result many theories have been formed. A theory that supports this hypothesis is the Hypodermic syringe model developed by Vance Packard in 1957 and
