Goth's girl Case Analysis
Do you feel that Goth Girl's explanation of the media's role in her harmful drinking is persuasive?
Yes, Goth girl's explanation is persuasive of the media's role in harmful drinking. The media plays a crucial role in the sharing and distributing news and information. Numerous studies show that the media's laxity to showcase the dangers of alcohol abuse has misled many youths into addiction.
Should the Government control the content of the media?
The Government is the central determining body and can censor advertisements in the media. Every individual has the right to know the positives and negatives of any commodity before using it. In light of this approach, I believe it is pertinent for the Government to censor advertisements of alcohol and drugs in the media. Teen drinking and drug use is a complex and complicated problem that requires urgent intervention.
Do you believe that this account is accurate with regard to how the media presents teen drinking and drug use? Is it mainly positive? Or is Goth Girl's view skewed?
The media reinforces alcohol and drug use as a glamourous act. Thus, Goth's narration of the role of media in perpetuating teen drinking and drug abuse is accurate. There is considerable evidence of the highly positive agenda of teen drinking and drug use in media houses. The presentation of alcohol and drug use in positive light perpetuates and reinforces excessive drug use. This case presents factual evidence of how media glamorizes teen drinking and drug use. Most advertisements air positive remarks and showcase young people having fun while using drugs; therefore, Goth's girl perspective is accurate.
Do you believe that the media's current self-control on its presentation of the consequences of adolescent drinking and drug use is adequate—or should the Government impose censorship on the media in the way that substance abuse is depicted?
Media central tenents revolve around providing authentic, informational, and unfiltered information of a phenomenon without exerting any controls. This should not be an exemption in alcohol and drug abuse. As a result, the media's current self-control measures are not adequate. Therefore it is an opportune time for Governments to impose censorship on the press to display cases of drug abuse as well.
Given the young lives that such a measure would save, is this censorship at all?
Censorship is a revolutionary movement that can change how the alcohol and drugs are perceived. Therefore, the negative and positive should not be perceived as censorship but as legitimate advertisements.
Is the cure worse than the disease?
Censoring alcohol advertisements will significantly reduce the ongoing social menace caused by alcohol and drug abuse. Airing the positive and negative effects of substance use gives young people the opportunity to make sober decisions.
Jim's case Analysis
Do you accept Jim's rationale for drug use at raves?
Jim's perspective is flawed and does not depict a clear picture of the role of drug use in raves. Jim's rationale is absurd because one can still have fun at raves without using drugs. Although ravers use drugs occasionally,...
