Question:

1. Do a 5 pages research paper regarding your subject "vice and drug education and control ". What is
subject all about and its function to criminal justice system.

Answer:

When we hear the vice and drug education and control, we may think that this is about how this drugs
and vices teach to the people in order for them to be knowledgeable and responsible wiyh their actions
or doings in life. This subject will help us to know and learn those drugs that are prohibited and what
could be the outcome or consequence if a single person would commit it.

First of all, we need to define the key words in our subject. The vice, drugs and control.

Vice is all about immoral or wicked behaviour. This are activigies involving prostitution, ponography, or
drugs.

The word vice can be defined as a bad habit or ongoing pattern of behavior that represents moral
weakness or depravity. Some vices are actions often considered to be evil or wicked, while others are
more self-indulgent in nature.

Examples of vice can find its way into human behavior in many ways. Common vices include:

1. Anger

While not all anger is an example of vice, the type of anger that leads to hatred, a deeply-held desire for
revenge, or extreme resentment against others falls into the category of vice. Anger rises to the level of
vice when it is so strong or deeply held that a person comes to despise or feel rage toward specific
individuals or groups of people to such a degree that they want to exact revenge or otherwise bring
harm to others.

2. Arrogance
While people should take pride in their work and feel proud of their accomplishments, pride taken to
the extreme can become arrogance. People who are arrogant tend to have an elevated sense of self-
worth, leading them to believe they are better than other people. They tend to see themselves as
superior to others. As a result, their behavior tends to come across as conceited; other people
sometimes describe arrogant individuals as stuck-up.

3. Envy

A person whose behavior is characterized by envy is an individual who wants what other people have, or
even what they perceive other people have regardless of whether they really do. Rather than being
happy for the achievements of others, envious individuals feel slighted and jealous when they believe
that others have gained something that they feel is lacking in their own life. It leads to a general sense of
dissatisfaction with one’s own situation and a desire to have or take what belongs to others.

4. Gluttony

Gluttony refers to eating or drinking to excess on a habitual basis. This term does not refer to a simple
act of overeating on occasion, but rather to a behavioral pattern of over-consuming to the extreme.
Gluttony represents an extravagant form of overindulgence as a matter of habit. Someone who is a
glutton takes more than his or her share, even if it means there is not enough to meet the basic needs of
other people. Gluttony can also include the habitual excessive consumption of alcohol, to the point of
extreme drunkenness or even passing out.

5. Greed

Greed is an example of vice. People who are motivated by greed seek to add to their material wealth,
even at the expense of the well-being of others. Greed leads to people seeking to gain more and more
money and goods, often compulsively and without regard to who may be harmed by their laser-like
focus on continuing to accumulate wealth or material possessions. In its extreme, when a person can
never be satisfied no matter how much they accumulate, greed becomes avarice.

6. Sloth

While the words sloth is sometimes used to describe inactivity, that approach doesn’t really explain
what sloth means in the context of vice. Taking a break to recover from a busy schedule can be good for
a person. Sloth is more of a complete lack of effort paired with a habit of laziness. A person is exhibiting
sloth when the individual doesn’t engage in things that really matter. For example, failing to put effort
into personal relationships is an example of sloth, resulting in taking the other person for granted
instead of engaging appropriately.

This list represents just a few basic examples of the many ways vice can show up in the actions of
people. Learning about common vices and bad habits can be a great way to expand your understanding
of human behavior.
Drugs are any substance that is either natural or synthetic that stimulates depresses or irritates
specialized cells. It is any substance that brought about physical, psychological and behavioural change
to the person taking it.

The Impact of Drugs on Society

The negative consequences of drug abuse affect not only individuals who abuse drugs but also their
families and friends, various businesses, and government resources. Although many of these effects
cannot be quantified, ONDCP recently reported that in 2002, the economic cost of drug abuse to the
United States was $180.9 billion.

The most obvious effects of drug abuse--which are manifested in the individuals who abuse drugs--
include ill health, sickness and, ultimately, death. Particularly devastating to an abuser's health is the
contraction of needle borne illnesses including hepatitis and HIV/AIDS through injection drug use.

Drug education is the planned provision of information, resources, and skills relevant to living in a world
where psychoactive substances are widely available and commonly used for a variety of both medical
and non-medical purposes, some of which may lead to harms such as overdose, injury, infectious
disease (such as HIV or hepatitis C), or addiction.

This subject will help the students to know what are those vices and drugs that can damage not only in
the health but in the society as a whole. By having this subject could encourage the teen like us the
students to avoid to commit such doings.
