functionalist

I feel that the funcionalist theory is about spot on everyone needs to fill a certain position even it is flipping burgers. If there was no one to flip burgers than there would be no restraunts so there will always be people that need to fill this not so desired jobs. It is also very questionable why someone fighting for freedom gets made like scum compared to professional athlete. There are just certain jobs that people need to do to make this world go round.

Brian movie

This movie was wacked out like someone that would be on heroin so yes this movie was portrayed well! Living the life of a heroin addict and an uppers addict this movie showed the health risks, sexual encounters, and even what people will do to get more of the drug. The girlfriend turned to sex to get her drugs because no one had any heroin and the only way to get it was by giving sex for the drug! Who knows what she may have contracted by using her body like a handkerchief, and some of the things she would of never thought of doing when she was sober it didn’t even pass her mind she just did it like Nike. By having that addiction she would do anything and everything to get more of the drug it didn’t matter what it was. Too bad her work ethic wasn’t like her heroin addiction she would be rich!

The boyfriend ended up having his arm cut off and we didn’t really get to see what happens after that. This made a great point of showing that when you are high and addicted to a drug you don’t care about your body until it is too late! He had his arm cut off because he was shooting up and got and infection that means his arm is less important that heroin and that is messed up! The thing that really gets me going is when he gets out of prison and most likely gets high again he will just look at it as one less place to shoot up. It also showed what he would do just to get drug money, he would steal his mother’s television and sell it to a guy and she would just have to buy it back every time. His mother wouldn’t give him money because she knew it would go for drug money. After figuring out that his mother was on uppers he cared a lot but he hurt her a lot in the past and she said she was finally happy so he didn’t really bother with her. Drugs also make you lie because he will lie to anyone to say you aren’t doing drugs or to get the money to get the drugs.

The mother ended up with weight loss pills that were uppers and didn’t make her have an appetite which is horrible for your body and ended up making her go crazy! She got so messed up from the uppers she had to be fed through a tube and had to be given shock therapy. It wasn’t really her fault that should have blamed on the doctor because he knew that this was going to happen and kept filling her prescriptions. She never had done drugs and she thought that was the effects of the weight loss pills. She tried telling the doctor and he said just fill the prescription so he was just looking to get an extra buck out of her. 

Tyrone was Harrys best friend but because of drugs so you could call them drug buddies they worked together to get heroin and they actually sold heroin and Harry and Marion wanted to open a business but they took one hit and ended up being addicted again. Tyrone was a prime example of how drugs get you in with the wrong people, he was going to meet up with a higher up drug guy and he ended up getting arrested and blood splattered all over his face and probably got the HIV. He also got horrible withdrawals from the heroin while in prison that it made him go cray cray!

Everything that you do to make money from is a business so selling drugs is considered a business. But what if it is illegal can you still call doing what you are doing to make money a business? People make their living off of growing poppy plants and I think that there is no way to stop it now! Once something has grown so vigorously they cannot stop it because there is already a large market for that one thing and like in the movie people will do anything to get it.
What can we do to stop the drug trade? Nothing you cannot stop it, you can slow it down but you will never stop the drug trade because of the large market that wants that drug! What can be done? The drug forces can intercept drug trades and try and arrest the higher up people and try and the business down but they will never stop it. There are to many places and to many people that are doing the trading that you will never be able to stop all of it unless you stop it at the source. If the farmers are unable to grow the poppy then that will cut the amount be let out tremendously.

Heroin is a major deal that is impacting children across the world and they are children people at the age of 14 are dying from heroin overdose. There are people trying to help these kids get away from the drug but once your are on the drug you are hooked for life! Heroin controls your life if you use it and get addicted you will go out of your way to get the drug. Peoples families are ruined from the use of heroin because the user will do anything to get the drug because the drug becomes your life and most people would kill to get the drug.


Most people think that the most users are from the hood and from the projects but in reality a lot of people that live in nice suburbs are actually users of heroin and you would not expect that. By bringing in drugs into suburbs it is actually a lot more successful because these kids have a lot more access to money and in return a lot more access to the drug. People always think that it's the lower class people that are the main users. It just proves that when a drug reaches a new area it can explode no matter the type of people in the area if you are addicted you are addicted no matter who you are.


By having drugs in the world it is actually a way for some people to make their living, knowing that the drug kills people it doesn't bother them. People don't care about other people and that's really sad that this drug can overcome someone so much that they have no care for anyone.

The American people have always blamed killing sprees on violent games saying that these people think it's alright to do in a game so it's ok to do it in the real world. Well it says now that violent crimes are not caused because of video games they are actually decreased because of the games. Researchers claimed that kids that played video games were actually less likely to be involved in violence or commit crimes. By being able to rob banks and steal cars online they are less likely to commit those crimes in the real world because there needs for the bad behavior were already met on the game. By being inside also helped kids stay out of trouble because they were not outside looking for things to do. When kids have nothing better to do they will often do something that involves violence or crime to meet there needs to do something instead of being bored.


I think that people always think it is something else than parenting because they do not want to get blamed for the way that they raise their children. People don't want to get blamed for their child being deviant so they blame it on the games they play or the things they learn in school. By blaming someone else it makes the parents feel like it isn't their fault for raising their child wrong. In all reality people blame on their kids behavior on game they play but they bought the game for their kids?


I don't think that the lead thing is totally true but I think that it could have something to do with aggression because those chemicals are being absorbed in your body and those chemicals cannot be healthy for your body. By absorbing those chemicals in your body can cause cancer so it obviously was taken out for a reason. I just think there are something that the government doesn't want us to know so they make up another reason for it
