Document Summary

I"ve been there for you always, when things were going right in your life, you invited me in. You said you didn"t deserve these good things, and i was the only one who would agree with you. Together we were able to destroy all good things in your life! . This excerpt originates from the poem i am your disease , which has yet to be credited to an author, nonetheless it provides a vivid image of the chaos brought upon by substance abuse addiction. Addiction can be defined as a treatable, chronic medical disease, involving a complex of interlinkage between brain circuits, genetic predisposition, environment, and life experiences. Substance use addiction entails the repetitive and compulsive use of drugs and/or alcohol, which is driven by a physiological and psychological dependence on the substance of choice. Additionally, there exists correlation of several social factors that influence both risky drug use behaviour and harmful consequences as a result of drug use.

Based on what you have learned about emotion and motivation, learning theories, as well as biological (nature) and environmental/social (nurture) factors, explore the debate on what is known about the causes of aggressive behavior. Include the following sections in your essay.

Introduction Paragraph

Body Paragraphs:

Nature: Biological Basis of Behavior

Is one gender naturally (genetically) more or less aggressive than the other gender? Why or why not? Discuss evidence to support your position. (Refer to specific theories, models, and research of particular psychologists in this section of the paper.)

Nurture: Social and Environmental Influences on Behavior

Does exposure to aggressive behavior in the environment (i.e. home, role models, caregivers, media - TV, movies, music, and video games), encourage or discourage aggressive behavior? Discuss evidence to support your position. (Refer to specific theories, models, and research of particular psychologists in this section of the paper.)

Conclusion Paragraph

Based on what you have learned about biological and environmental influences on behavior, which plays a more influential role in helping us understand aggression?

Am I using economic concepts correctly in the following? Please correct and clarify for me if not.

In this scenario, we want to curb or decrease the use of drugs and the use of the services provided by prostitution. So, if you legalize either, and then in policy increase the prices for those goods or services, you can eliminate price-sensitive or elastic consumers, like teenagers. It does not solve the problem, but this is just an economic scenario, right? It will decrease documented use and users, but since these were black market operations, to begin with, there will always exist a black market to supply what the public markets cannot. Quality in these black markets will be poor, but prices will reflect this. Inelastic consumers, such as working adults, in the face of a price increase, will choose less expensive substitutes rather than abstain, and will even choose illegal avenues to attain before abstaining, or going without.

Another conundrum in the drug arena is the addictive vs non-addictive substances debate. Highly addictive substances like cocaine and heroin will experience less elasticity than substances such as nicotine or marijuana. Because it can be argued that addiction diminishes rational choice, increases in price that would normally cause users to refrain from use are not effective and thus do not end up lowering the quantity of drugs demanded, addiction counteracts theory and demand only decreases negligibly. Here, revenues would increase for the suppliers of such goods and services, while not even making a dent in the quantity of drugs demanded. Profits however may not increase as interdiction efforts also increase a supplier's production and distribution costs.
