In this case, I think it's an example of Materialism, determinism and nature. The drug affect Donald's brain so that his mind let him into the action to kill the girl. Donald took the drug cause he wanted to get High. He took the drug that misleads him to kill the girl. Then he was sent to the hospital with mental problems. The drug damaged his Brain which damaged his mind as well. After he killed the girl, he got no memory of this horrible action. Then I am wondering where could the memory go? Is it hidden somewhere deep in his brain, or the lobe somehow switched off from the drug? Nobody can really prove anything. It is still a mystery. When his symptoms got better he can go out riding bikes, one day he got hit by a crazy driver. After

    The documentary titled “Pleasure Unwoven: A Personal Journey About Addiction” was an interesting look at the theories behind addiction that classify addiction as a disease and the previous theories that discredited addiction as a disease. One part of the documentary that I learned the most from was the part that discussed the “choice argument” for addiction. Another part of the documentary that I learned a lot from was their discussion of the biological aspect of addiction and addictions effect on a human’s midbrain. Overall, I found this documentary very informative and can see myself utilizing the information I learned in my future career path.…

In Denis Johnson’s short story Emergency the topic is highly discussed, as how the characters use drugs in order to not think about their normal everyday life and how they try to escape reality by getting high off the pills from their work.

    A common question throughout students and teachers worldwide is, is intelligence something that is fixed or something that can grow or change? In the article “Brainology” by Carol Dweck we learn the process of how students learn to have a fixed mindset versus a growth mindset and how it affects their learning. It is believed that parents who praise their child for being smart in general tend to have a fixed mindset and those parents who praise their child for the hard work they did tend to have a growth mindset. Those with a fixed mindset tend to believe that intelligence is fixed and it can not be changed no matter how hard you try. Growth mindsets tend to believe intelligence is something that can be cultivated so that the harder they work…

    Cornish and Clarke believed that the reason people act in criminal behavior is due to the fact that there is a direct benefit of that behavior (pg. 83). This theory explains drug use best based on the fact that individuals are believed to be the following: hedonistic (people are engaged in the pursuit of pleasure, self-indulgent, and pleasure-seeking), egoistic (being centered in or preoccupied with oneself and the gratification of one’s own desires, self-centered), and rational (reasonable, logical, and sensible). This ties is very well with explaining drug use, because drugs, temporarily, make people feel good (pleasure-seeking), and the fact that it is based on their own personal reasons, which can be considered selfish. Lastly, an individual has to think about the pros and cons of purchasing and selling drugs, and then make a decision, which means that they make a rational…
