    A Critique on Drug Awareness

    1. Name of Speakers

    2. Good purpose of drug use

    3. Drug abuse & its effects

    4. Listen to the Q&A and write it down

    5. Your opinion as a group

    Our group’s opinion about drug awareness is that since drug abuse is a widespread
    problem that makes individual drug users the prime victims and drug abuse can cause
    serious physical and mental deterioration thus, effective drug education is important and
    should be exercised because young people are faced with many influences to use both
    licit and illicit drugs. Education can play a counterbalancing role in shaping a normative
    culture of safety, moderation, and informed decision making and we have thought that
    the prevention of drug abuse has to be a component part of social programmes, school
    curricula, anti-crime activities, the provision of recreational facilities, parenting support
    programs, and the like. Drugs have positive uses too, but as it is human nature we tend
    to bend towards the negative side of the use of drugs.

    In fact, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reports that
    approximately 5 percent of the world's population used an illicit drug in 2010 and 27
    million people, or 0.6 percent of the worlds adult population, can be classified as
    problem drug users. In addition to causing death, substance abuse is also responsible
    for significant morbidity and the treatment of drug addiction creates a tremendous
    burden on society. Alcohol and other drug use in the adolescent population carries a
    high risk for school underachievement, delinquency, teenage pregnancy, and
    depression.
