This side debates that there is no need for imprisonment, there just needs to be treatment programs in place that teach moms about the devastating effects of abusing drugs while pregnant and assisting them with getting the proper physicians and medications to come off from drugs. However there is a lot more research done recently on what stage of pregnancy a baby is most at risk and the result is that we just don’t know. There is no set amount and no set time frame that it is okay for a baby to be exposed to drugs or alcohol and still be safe from birth defects. The problem with this still lies in the fact that a large percentage of people that enter drug treatment actually graduate from the program. There is a high drop out rate in treatment centers.

When thinking about the relationship between celebrities and politicians, the first celebrity that comes to mind is Britney Spears. Yes, the pop icon from back in the day, whatever day that might be. In my reflection, I am referring more to the Britney Spears the world came to know when she was first starting out in her main-stream debut. That Britney (before all of the scandal and mishaps of Britney’s life that polluted the media) was young, vibrant, and full of super-star potential. She had come from a history of media attention that started at a young age, beginning with her inclusion in the Mickey Mouse Club.
Prescription pain pills include narcotics, stimulants and depressants, which are the most commonly abused. Statistics show that 1 in 20 people in the United States, ages 12 and older, abuse prescription painkillers. These drugs affect the brain and reach the opiate receptors which cause a release of dopamine which acts as a “excitatory neurotransmitter”. Dopamine produces feelings of pleasure, satisfaction, and a feeling of euphoria. These feelings are only temporary and when they wear off the person feels much worse than they did before taking the pills.
“Mary Poppins is a film rich in detail, but its universal appeal is due to the fact that it blends so many elements together.”3 This movie “became an instant, blockbuster hit, with thirteen Academy Award nominations.”4 Such awards were Best Actress Oscar, Best Film Editing Oscar, Best Music Scoring Oscar, Best Song Oscar, and Best Special Visual Effects Oscar.
