The drug given is called soma. Soma blocks and numbs reality and replaces it with happy hallucinations. It also blocks people’s ability to see the life they actually live, which is a form of manipulation because citizens are manipulated to take soma, which helps them live a happy and perfect lifestyle. The government also influences/encourages the citizens to take soma tablets but the amount is regulated. Since soma is taken every day the amount given is regulated so there is no such thing as overdose.

Drugs are an escape for many people to get out from reality. From a world that confuses consumers and indulges them in outrageous behaviors in order to fulfill their addiction. Society is acting with indifference about these people, and feeding them hate instead of understanding; in fact, the streets are filled with incomprehensible junkies. How can we make a difference for drug-addicts? Are our cities and our governments going to be able to make a change or at least reduce the number of consumers?

Alexis Oliphant-Haye CM107-37: Professor Thompson November 26, 2014 Unit #6 Discussion I’m writing a letter to the Teachers at Stranahan High School Dear Teachers, The United States is the leading developed country in teen births with more than 400,000 teens giving birth every year. Teenagers feel like they are too powerful to be defeated and do not realize the consequences of their actions on the decisions they make. The birth rate had gone up and also, the abortion rate.

It depicts unflinchingly the battle between freedom and constraint plus society’s use of drastic means to set the deviant straight in the place of a rehabilitative program in conjunction with punishment. Humans are oranges more so than clocks, our automaticity is located in our body but who we are is the fruit that is the life-force within us. Much of the incarcerated population is guided by internal impulsivity and sensation-seeking behaviors.

Society may feel the drug addict caused their own predicament and that it is a waste of government funding to try to help them overcome the addiction. People can change but it may take a lot of therapy to do so. The family will also need someone to talk to because they most assuredly will have gone through a multitude of emotions trying to deal with their loved one. Drug Addiction Affects Individuals, Their Families and Society Drug addiction will destroy a person’s life, cause great stress on their family and take them to depths they never intended to go. The highest priority will be to get the drug even if it means turning against their family.
