INTO THE FACTORS THAT LED THEM TO THEIR PRESENT STATE.
WHAT NORMS AND VALUES DO THEY HOLD?

ANSWER:
As being defined Drug addiction is a chronic, often relapsing brain
disease that causes compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful
consequences to the drug addict and those around them. Drug addiction
is a brain disease because the abuse of drugs leads to changes in the
structure and function of the brain.

According to an interview to a former drug addict friend, these are the

factors that led him to his present state.

1. Unstable home environment.

2. A poor relationship with parents.
3. Use of drugs by friends / peers.
4. Behavioral problems combined with poor parenting.
5. Poor achievement in school.
6. Availability of drugs from friends.

My friend added his statement, he said that he fall into addiction in

order to mask particular emotions that he is going through. The abuse
made him feel good and forget about the problem at hand. Eventually he
thinks they can't live without drugs.

Talking about norms and values does a drug addiction is a mental

instability where an addiction forms in the brain and the craving is
paramount thus requiring repeated dosages of drugs.

INITIATE OR TRIGGER CHAOS DURING FORCE EVACUATION TO
ILLEGAL SETTLERS, THE DEMOLITION TEAM (USUALLY COSPOSED) OF
POLICEMAN) OR THE ILLEGAL SETTLERS? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.

In relation to external social control, most of the time the illegal

settlers and cruelly destroy their homes
