Unit 6: Discussion 1
Some people believe
that if we could just control these three categories of substances, there would
be no more crime and as a nation the medical costs and cost of living in
general would decrease. As you answer these questions, don't just think
about this on the grandiose scale, but rather think about what each of us can
do. There are two discussion threads.
You are required to
post your initial answers; your comments on the postings of your classmates are
due on Sunday at midnight. Please be sure that your comments to peers are
substantive; do not simply write "I disagree"; if you disagree, go on
to explain your comment and add your own insights. All initial and follow-up
responses require research and appropriate citations. You should have a minimum
of two postings (one initial and one/more follow-up response/s) for each
thread.
The following rubric
will be used to score your discussion postings:
|
0-3
points |
Only
minimal response given with no elaboration OR failed to complete follow-up
postings |
|
4-7
points |
Basic
response and follow-up posting; all were clear and relevant, but needed more
detail. |
|
8-10
points |
All
responses were elaborated, clear, and detailed; complete responses and
follow-up postings. |
Discussion Topic
There are a variety of
activities, behaviors, or even hobbies upon which some individuals can become
psychologically dependent. Some of these activities may not be as life
threatening as chemical addictions or eating disorders, but they can have
profound negative effects on the individual and society. We don't really know
the reason why some people compulsively engage in a behavior, while others can
engage in the same activity without becoming psychologically dependent upon it.
In general, any behavior that is compulsively done by a person to the extent
that it causes physical, social, or psychological problems to the individual,
his/her family, or society would be considered to be an addictive behavior for
that individual.
·
Using information from your book or another source,
discuss two specific behaviors that are classified as
addictions.
·
What characteristics lead to classification of
those behaviors as "addictions"? You will need to research what these
characteristics are and provide those sources.
Remember to correctly cite any source you use and if you use direct quotes, use them sparingly and include quotation marks!
