COLUMNS archive blogs BODYMATTERS American Opium [11 February 2004] column archive by Michael Stephens PopMatters Music Columns Editor and Columnist e-mail this article print this article comment on this article "Tobacco is a unique industry, for they are selling death. Cigarettes are the most deadly product on the market. Like weapons, if used as they are intended to be used, they will cause injury and death. Yet smoking tobacco is an intrinsic part of American culture and history. It is the hope of many that all people will choose not to smoke, and yet smoking is as American as apple pie." Bill W. and Doctor Bob, founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, both died of smoking-related emphysema. It is ironic that the men who spent their lives developing a recovery program to battle alcoholism died of an addiction they probably saw as relatively harmless in comparison to their drinking. Smoking has always been synonymous with recovery from other addictions, and newcomers to recovery are often advised against quitting smoking in the first year or two of sobriety. The commonly held belief is that smoking gives the addict a necessary crutch in early recovery. Yet research shows that those who quit smoking at the same time that they quit alcohol or drugs have a 20% better recovery rate after five years than those who continue smoking. The peculiar hypocrisy persists, even in addiction recovery programs, that in comparison to alcoholism or drug addiction, smoking is a relatively minor evil. Addiction to gambling and alcohol is not socially acceptable in most professional contexts. But addiction to tobacco is still, "as American as apple pie".

BPhoenix Feedback ADHD Causes and Treatments ADHD Look-Alikes ADHD Symptoms Parenting Tips ADHD Home Causes of ADHD: ADHD is one of the best researched disorders in medicine, yet the exact causes of ADHD remain unclear. Some experts believe a combination of factors are responsible for the development of this disorder. Some of the possible causes of ADHD are listed below: Differences in the Brain: Advanced imaging techniques have detected differences in the brains of ADHD children compared to those of non-ADHD children. Research has suggested that ADHD is a disorder of the right side of the brain. One specific area on the right side, the prefrontal cortex, may be particularly important in understanding ADHD. The prefrontal cortex is thought to be the brain's command center. It regulates the brain's ability to inhibit responses. A number of imaging studies has indicated that the prefrontal cortex of the brain in ADHD may be underactive in comparison with those without ADHD. Neurotransmitters: Many neurotransmitters affect mental and emotional functioning and may play a role in the ADHD. Levels of dopamine, which helps regulate concentration, attention, and inhibition, might be abnormal in the brains of those with ADHD according to some studies. Deficiencies in norepinephrine, another brain chemical that is involved in the fight or flight response, may also be critical in ADHD.

Proof that HIV Causes AIDS? Dear Christine, I'm debating the HIV hypothesis with some colleagues and need to answer to the charge that HIV is present in 100% of AIDS cases, and because it's found in every case of AIDS, this proves HIV is the cause. Is this true? How would you respond to this argument? Thanks, Farrell Dear Farrell, With regard to the charge that HIV is present in 100% of AIDS cases and that this proves HIV causes AIDS, here are five points that challenge this idea followed by some detailed information on each point that may help you keep up your end of the debate. HIV was not found in 100% of the original AIDS cases - less than half tested positive for markers used to indicate HIV infection. Since HIV tests cannot identify or quantify the presence of HIV itself, it is not known how many people with AIDS actually have HIV. Public health agency records show thousands of cases of "HIV negative AIDS," and that AIDS diseases commonly occur in people not diagnosed HIV positive. The definition for AIDS requires positive HIV status (by test or assumption) which forces a 100% correlation between HIV and AIDSÑa person with AIDS diseases cannot be put in the AIDS category unless s/he meets the "entry requirement" of testing HIV positive.

Social and Behavioral Sciences Home Criminal Justice Course Information Student Information ... Marist Home Department of Criminal Justice The major in Criminal Justice combines a broad Core/Liberal Arts curriculum with the theory, practice, and experience specific to criminal justice. All courses focus on the study of crime from a variety of perspectives: cause of crime, societal reaction, judicial processing and treatment of offenders, as well as the philosophy and practice of social control and administration of criminal behavior. Emphasis is also placed on critical thinking and problem solving. The curriculum culminates with two senior seminar courses, which bring together all facets of the Marist College undergraduate experience, and the lessons learned in the major. A mandatory six-credit internship enables the Criminal Justice major to experience practical criminal justice from a variety of criminal justice and allied agencies. Internship placements include the range of federal, state, and local agencies. While being exposed to experiences in both the classroom and the practical world, students are assisted in making informed career choices. Major curriculum completion, coupled with all Core/Liberal Arts requirements, leads to the Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice. A minor in Criminal Justice is also available.

A Constrained Vision "To those with the constrained vision, it is axiomatic that no individual or council can master this complexity [of social processes], so that systemic processes—market economies, social traditions, constitutional law—are relied on instead." Thomas Sowell, A Conflict of Visions Root causes of crime Democracy Project reprints a great speech by James Baker, the mayor of Wilmington, DE, in which he thoughtfully addresses crime . He argues that adding more police and strengthening law enforcement are only part of the solution to the city's crime problem. Addressing the "crisis of values" is also critically important (emphasis added): Unless it is attacked at its very core and resolved, crime will always overshadow the most coordinated of efforts designed to help any City reach to its ultimate greatness. We cannot continue to be baffled by the existence of crime or continue to run and hide from it. We cannot continue applying simplistic answers to the very complex reasons why crime has overwhelmed almost every city and town in America.

Accessibility Information for disabled users Home Our Homepage Articles of Interest Causes of Crime Mouseover links for full page descriptions Causes of Crime - Nature AND Nurture One of the issues that inevitably arises in any discussion of crime and sentencing, and that also must be considered when discussing rehabilitation, is that of the causes and origins of criminal behaviour. It is safe to say there is no one cause for criminality, or even for one particular type of offence. The causes are complex, and will vary from offender to offender. Not only that, but in most cases, there will be more than one cause for any particular offender's behaviour. Not only many forms of criminal behaviour, but many forms of behaviour generally have some genetic component, in some cases overwhelmingly so. For instance, the body of evidence for over 90% of causation of sexual orientation being genetic continues to mount up. And IQ now looks to be 60-80% heritable, and so on it goes. However, please note that there is no one "criminal gene", and that neither genes nor environment are exclusive causative factors.

57. There Are Many Reasons And Theories As To What Causes Crime In Society This type of behavior is best portrayed in inner cities with the concept of gangs . In a criminal’s mind, however, the urge of the superego strongly http://webpages.marshall.edu/~brunty11/index2essays.htm

There are many reasons and theories as to what causes crime in society. Many argue that crime is a biological response, and others argue that crime is explained through psychological reasoning. However, I believe that crime is a balanced mixture of all aspects including but not limited to: psychological, sociological, and biological causes. From the beginning of time crime has been influenced by the environment that one lives in. I believe that in our society today, environment is the most influential in determining crime occurrence. For example, theories based on blocked opportunity, which state that crime occurs within members of communities who cannot obtain the “American Dream” and therefore resort to crime in order to earn social status and/or to supposedly better themselves. This type of behavior is best portrayed in inner cities with the concept of gangs. Moreover, crime is also influenced strongly by sociological influences that can manipulate criminals to commit certain crimes. For example, many teenagers and children today commit crimes mainly because of pressure from other peers. This committing of crimes by teenagers could be considered as an escape or reaction formation in order to escape the pressure and demands in the daily life of many teens and children. Likewise, adults fall to the pressure of society by engaging in criminal behavior in order to provide an escape from the “measuring rod” of society.
