Activity 2!
The drug I looked up was cocaine and after typing cocaine
epidemic in to the search engine, I had received around 667,000 results. After
looking over and reading through at least 5 different sources, I noticed that
the major theme was addiction. I think addiction is definitely valid to the
theme because it is, in fact one of the most addictive drugs. Most articles described
how easy it was to make and get and how much money so little of the drug can
make. Drug dealers have easy access to cocaine and always have clients who are
addicted and are willing to pay large amounts. Especially towards the end of
the 20th century was when cocaine grew to form an epidemic, which
spread in to several cities within the United States. People started to use cocaine
routinely, which formed addiction. According to class, cocaine if definitely a
highly addictive and dangerous drug and it does consist of a huge problem for
addicts. The media always presents cocaine as being the worst possible drug to
try, especially in movies. They present the drug cocaine with negativity and
downfall. Once addicted, it can ruin someone’s life entirely.
