Arlene is going through her regular routine today. She wakes-up and gets ready to go to work. As she walks towards her office, she passes by her building’s cafeteria. Arlene realizes immediately that she forgot to eat breakfast before she left her house. She ignores this thought and continues on towards her office.
However, once she gets settled at her desk, she is unable to get to work as she cannot stop thinking about the smell of the freshly baked muffins coming from the cafeteria.
Explain, in your own words, the following:
What is happening to Arlene?
What senses were compromised?
What areas of the brain were engaged?
What will happen if she does not satisfy her hunger?
Instructions: This week we learned about the two major legal drugs, alcohol and tobacco, and the issue of the discrepancy between their harm and their legal status. From a constructionist perspective, alcohol is not a drug, but from an “objectivist” or essentialist perspective, alcohol is a drug in the same sense that cocaine and the narcotics are because it can lead to a “high” or intoxication. We also learned about the connection between alcohol consumption and risky, deviant behavior such as violence, being a victim of violence, and accidents.
For this discussion address the following questions :
Do you think that such a strong relationship exists between the consumption of alcohol and being the victim of risky, deviant behavior? Explain.
Some countries have much higher rates of alcohol-related violence than others. Why in some countries is the consumption of alcohol related to violent behavior, while the drinking that takes place in other countries is much less frequently accompanied by violence?
What are the similarities and differences between the use of legal drugs such as alcohol and tobacco and the use of illicit drugs such as marijuana and cocaine?
Illustrate or describe a sleep disorder that you have seen or heard of throughout your life. What did you notice and what was this person experiencing? What was the diagnosis, if any?
