Addiction and Obsession: Substance Misuse, Dependence, and the Body

For a long time, illegal substances like heroin and cocaine have been framed as the most harmful substances on society. But as you have been learning throughout this course, there are many harmful legal substances as well! There is also a new category of drugs called Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) that is posing a great public health threat. Using the first half of Chapter 3, along with the materials in the Week 5 field trip, please compose a 300-word post that responds to the following questions in ESSAY format:

1. What are novel psychoactive substances (NPS) and why are they so dangerous?
2. What is fentanyl and why is the scope of the problem so deadly in the US?
3. What is the “opioid crisis”? (Why is it called a “crisis”?)
4. Based on all the information you learned about in the first part of this chapter, and in the Week 5 field trip, which illegal or legal substance/drug (or category of drugs) has the most negative impact on the body, mind and society today, in your view? Why?

2. How does this documentary film/movie connect or relate to OUR CLASS TOPICS AND DISCUSSIONS as well as to your personal life? (This is very important! Make strong, specific class connections. If you state, “The film is about addiction and the class is about addiction,” that is NOT a strong, specific connection, and you will not get full credit. Gives lots of details! Refer to the eText and other sources we’ve been discussing!).
3. What did you learn in this documentary film/movie in relation to ideas we have covered in class? (State something NEW you learned about the topic from the documentary).
4. What was your reaction and opinion of the documentary film/movie, and would you recommend it to future classes? (This is where you provide your critique of the film. Explain WHAT makes it recommendable or not; Explain WHY you think it’s a good–or bad–film).

4.Your online social media profile is as important as your resume. Most of us use social media to stay connected to friends and family. It can also be an excellent career networking tool; however, if social media is used in the wrong or inappropriate way, it could have a devastating impact on your career. Discuss ways negative social media can impact your future career aspirations?What areas of your LinkedIn profile were especially challenging for you?

In what ways is the professional profile different than the resume; please explain.
