Contributing Factors for Addiction

Any person is prone to addiction regardless of their background and beliefs; however, some people are more to addiction than others. It is therefore prudent to assume that regardless of one’s upbringing, several factors can increase the risk of one being addicted. From a social science standpoint, addiction may take many forms, including substance, impulse, and behavioral addiction (Chung, Lee, & Lee, 2019). There are several contributing factors to addiction, mainly environmental, biological, social, and emotional. Addiction may be because of a single factor, or it can be multifactorial. Treatment options often stem from resolving the underlying issues.

Biological factors such as genetics affect addiction, mainly due to genetic predisposition that often causes neurotransmitter imbalance causing brain dysfunction. These brain dysfunctions mainly cause an individual to crave substances they may not have been subjected to directly. From a social point of view, individuals may be subjected to addiction through peer pressure (Ewald, Strack, & Orsini, 2019). Peer pressure is arguably one of the most significant social factors many young people are predisposed to substance addiction. Additionally, human beings learn from observing; unfortunately, people also learn about addiction by copying what others are doing (Ewald, Strack, & Orsini, 2019). Environmental factors also contribute to addiction, including lack of parental involvement and increasing delinquency among young people. Emotional factors such as stress have mainly contributed to dependency on substances as a coping mechanism.

Prevention is the best alternative to treatment; despite the numerous risk factors knowing about them helps reduce the chances of being addicted. Fortunately, having predisposing factors does not guarantee an individual becoming an addict. Therefore, social scientists such as psychologists must ask pertinent questions such as;

a) How effective is online therapy with long-term addiction?

b) How does strategic system change in healthcare impact mental healthcare regarding addiction?

What are you finding? What new information have you learned about this issue? What new questions or thoughts do you have now that you have done some preliminary research? Can you narrow your focus at all? If so, what do you wish to focus on? If you have a few options, what are they? Based on the broad search, refine the list of keywords that you created on the previous page.

Macroeconomic analysis

Macroeconomic analysis deals with the crucial issue of government involvement in the operation of “free market economy.” The Keynesian model suggests that it is the responsibility of the government to help to stabilize the economy. Stabilization policies (demand-side and supply-side policies) are undertaken by the federal government to counteract business cycle fluctuations and prevent high rates of unemployment and inflation. Demand side policies are government attempts to alter aggregate demand (AD) through using fiscal (cutting taxes and increasing government spending) or monetary policy (reducing interest rates). To shift the AD to the right, the government has to increase the government spending (the G-component of AD) causing consumer expenditures (the C-component of AD) to increase. Alternatively the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates reducing the cost of borrowing thereby encouraging consumer spending and investment borrowing. Both policies will lead to an increase in AD.

Comparison/contrast essay

A. Instructions
Begin by choosing a topic for your comparison/contrast essay. You are free to select your own topic, or you may use one of the sample topics listed below. However, you should choose a topic that you have knowledge of so that you have sufficient points of comparison or contrast to discuss in your essay. You will need to compare or contrast two or three primary points about the two subjects you choose to write about, resulting in an essay with either four or six body paragraphs, an introductory paragraph, and a conclusion.
Compare or contrast two cities you’ve visited or that you’ve lived in
Compare or contrast two members of your family
Compare or contrast two sources of news
Compare or contrast two singers in different music genres
Compare or contrast two historical figures
Compare or contrast two artists (for example, Vincent van Gogh and Pablo Picasso or Keith Haring and Andy Warhol)
Compare or contrast two eras in time
Compare or contrast two television series
Compare or contrast two types of technologies (for example, Android and Apple phones or PlayStation and Xbox)
Compare or contrast two medical topics (for example, traditional medicine and modern medicine or doctors and midwives)

Remember that the two subjects you choose should have a meaningful connection so that you can draw comparisons or contrasts between the two.
Your thesis should convey the main idea of the essay and clearly articulate what two topics you are comparing/contrasting. Because you are writing in the informative mode for this essay, you should use objective language. Remember that for this essay, you are not trying to persuade or convince the audience that one thing is better or worse than the other; you are instead informing the reader about the similarities or differences between the two subjects in an objective manner.

Note that if you use information from any outside sources, you will need to cite them. Plagiarism is not acceptable in academic writing. The following resources will be helpful to you if you need to cite any sources:

B. Think About Your Writing
After you’ve drafted your essay, answer the following questions about your writing. Include answers to all of the questions below your essay.

1. Did you use the point-by-point or block method to organize your body paragraphs? What made you decide to organize your essay in this way (3-4 sentences)? Sophia says: Consider the ways a comparison/contrast essay can be organized. Which organization did you choose and why?

2. In what ways did writing a comparison/contrast essay differ from the Narrative essay you wrote in Touchstone 1? Give specific examples (3-4 sentences). Sophia says: Consider how the structure, point of view, and purpose of the two essays differ.

3. Remember that the writing process is a recursive process, and your first draft of an essay is rarely your last. What part of the draft did you struggle with (3-4 sentences)? Sophia says: Think about how you could improve the draft if you continued the writing process with revision and editing.

C. Comparison/Contrast Guidelines
Refer to the checklist below throughout the writing process. Do not submit your Touchstone until your draft meets all of the guidelines.
