Moral and Legal Responsibility Against Drinking and Driving
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page tutorial language paper discussing the moral and legal responsibility and the campaigns against drinking and driving. As drinking and driving continues to take many lives on an annual basis, two different formats are being used to control drinking and driving in Canada and the United States. From a legal perspective, stricter laws are being advocated to try and deter and punish people from drinking and driving. Perhaps more effective campaigns however, are those which have targeted the moral responsibility of drinking. Harm reduction programs, moderation management and public awareness are now becoming more prominent in regards to a person’s moral and social responsibility to use self-control and moderation when drinking in order for the protection of the individuals and others in society. Provincial alcohol boards and some alcohol distributors are now promoting the moral obligations and choices people must make when they drink. In addition, many believe that the laws reflect the moral and values of the population even though they may conflict with images of irresponsibility which are often promoted as well. In the case of hard core drinkers who seemed unaffected by moral responsibility campaigns, stricter laws are being suggested focusing on the hard core drinker.

Mothers And Drugs: How A Child's Life Is Impacted When She Is An Addict
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Women are cautioned about what they put into their bodies long before they become pregnant; if the pregnancy is unplanned, the mother needs to take immediate measures to modify her diet and habits so they do not harm the growing fetus as soon as she realizes she is with child. From foods to supplements and prescription medications to over-the-counter products, there is nothing that escapes scrutiny when it comes the impact such external influences have upon a developing baby. In light of this understanding, it seems unconscionable that a woman would ingest illicit drugs during her pregnancy when there is no question - both anecdotally and scientifically proven - that such behavior serves to detrimentally impact the fetus's mental and physical formation. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Multicultural Counseling in Substance Abuse: Blacks and Hispanics
[ send me this paper ]
A 16 page paper discussing the need for cultural awareness on the part of treatment personnel. Cultural characteristics can dictate individuals’ reactions to stressors and treatment, and those involved in treatment must be aware of the individual’s culture’s views of and reactions to substance abuse. One of the hallmarks of current treatment methods is to encourage and support additional education and job training, which also is more difficult to accomplish among African American and Hispanic populations. The treating clinician needs to be aware of these aftercare difficulties early on, and to take steps that seek to circumvent the cultural barriers that exist. Toward this end, this paper discusses current preferred methods of substance abuse treatment, trends in demographic changes and cultural implications among African American and Hispanic ethnic groups. It concludes that culture influences how both groups come to seek substance abuse treatment and how they react to it. Clinicians not only have to be aware of cultural differences, they also need to directly address aftercare issues of education and employment. Includes an abstract and a 1-page outline. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Opium: History And Social Impact
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Opium was the drug of choice during eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America. Popularized for its mood-altering capability, opium was first consumed in crude form and then later transformed into various recreational and medicinal strains. From the juice of the opium plant's poppy came laudanum and paragoric, two alcoholic extracts; black drop or Quaker's opium; and a
preparation for smoking, of which the Chinese immigrants were particularly fond. However, crude opium was the most popularized form centuries ago, inasmuch as approximately ten percent of its composition is that of alkaloid morphine, its most powerful mood-altering ingredient. The writer
discusses the history of opium usage, as well as
contemporary efforts to curb opiate popularity.

Opposition To Drunk Driving
[ send me this paper ]
