Steroid Use In Adolescents: Leads To Other Drug Use And Illicit Criminal Behavior?
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. The physical transformation that occurs with the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) is such that it provides the adolescent with a greater sense of self when the objective is to increase body mass. For adolescent athletes, there are virtually no limitations when it comes to bulking up and reaching greater athletic stature. However, it stands to reason how something that metamorphoses human muscle the way steroids do must also have an impact upon other aspects of the body; as it turns out, these residual effects have been proven detrimental to the adolescent's psychological condition, inasmuch as those who take steroids "have unleashed a myriad of psychiatric complications such as addiction, depression, rage, and psychosis on themselves and the public at large" (Hall et al, 2005, p. 285).

Substance Abuse in Older Adults
[ send me this paper ]
A 17 page paper examining the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in adults over the age of 60. Though increasing numbers of aging baby boomers may usher in the occurrence of many more cases of abuse of illicit drugs, currently it is prescription drugs and alcohol that cause the greatest number of substance abuse cases among those over the age of 60. Some seniors become drug abusers unwittingly and insidiously, often through misuse of prescription drugs and lack of knowledge of the drugs’ intended actions. Alcohol abuse can occur for the same kinds of reasons, given that its effects are more pronounced in the presence of the effects of age. Seniors likely need to be educated in these factors at the same time that they are being urged to consistently take their blood pressure medication or check their blood sugar. Whatever the reason that seniors cross the line into substance abuse, intervention needs to be thoughtful and sensitive. Includes and abstract and a 1-page outline. Bibliography lists 19 sources.

The Benefits Of Legalized Drugs
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Of all the hotly debated topics looming over society today, there is one that has divided friends, family and lawmakers alike: the notion of legalizing drugs as a means by which to lower the crime rate and reduce the inherent negativity associated with drugs. To legalize drugs would be to remove the temptation that surrounds the act of drug taking; it would eliminate the need for black markets, robbery, murder and all the other insidious elements connected with illicit drug use. People would be left to their own accord as to how much and when they consumed without the infiltration of law enforcement authorities, enabling the crime rate to drop considerably and finally establishing societies where drugs are not at the root of virtually all criminal activity. The writer discusses the benefits of drug legalization, as well as addresses how well this platform has worked in Amsterdam. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
