Parental Drug Abuse Introduction Over the years, the family has played an essential role in the development of an individual. Knowing the various styles of bringing up a child is necessary, especially when the child is at the puberty stage. For this reason, parenting style associated with substance use is often considered as negligence. Such parents fail to provide basic needs for their kids, don’t lay any limits to their kids, and are careless. Parents abusing drugs also show unconditional love for their kids and often make little use of punishment; hence the child ends up spoiled. Consequently, people who abuse drugs find themselves isolated by family members. They often associate themselves with other people who abuse drugs or participate in some other forms of antisocial behaviors. Parental drug abuse is a critical problem affecting the well-being of both families and children. According to a national survey on drug use done in 2012 show that about 10 % of the children in the USA live with parents who abuse alcohol or drugs (Bahr, Hoffmann, & Yang, 2005). Parental abuse has…

Public Works & Infrastructure Project – Part 3 Needs, Problems, and Opportunities Needs The need to have the municipal water project arises from the fact that there is water scarcity in the area. The locals would spend so much money on buying water because they need it for their daily activities. Some vendors would take advantage of desperate people and sell water at extremely hiked prices. Sometimes the vendors did not have enough water to cater to all the people. Also, the water that the vendors provided was not necessarily clean, resulting in several water-borne diseases among those who did not treat the water. Therefore, there was a need to provide clean, affordable water that was safe for drinking. People would not only save the money they used to buy water but also the one spent to treat water-borne diseases. Problems The major problem was the availability of funds to carry out the project (Goodman & Hastak, 2015). The cost of buying equipment and paying laborers seemed overwhelming.

Religions and Theology Karl Max describes religion in his writings as the opium of the oppressed. He says religion is an expression of material realities and an economic injustice, which means that the problem faced in religion are problems in society. He describes religion as a symptom rather than a disease (Nolan, 2002). This is because religion is used by the oppressed to make them feel better about their distress. According to Karl Max, religion can be the opium of the poor in that it is meant to create an illusion fantasy for the poor. The struggles of the poor hinder them from finding true happiness, and religion tells them that it is alright because they will find joy in life after death. Just as the opium-based drugs relieve the pain during severe injuries, religion does that to the economically hurt. There are several examples to support Karl Max’s views. First, the republican politicians have enjoyed support from the New Christian Right, who advocates a more aggressive anti-communist policy. Second, Liberal politicians such as George Bush and Ronald Regan have…
Psychoanalytic and Operant Conditioning Theories Rape is a sexual act with a person by the use of force without that person’s consent. The action is usually done by individuals who feel powerful than their victims. In most cases, women are the most victims because some men consider them as sexual objects. Men can also fall victims of rape, especially underage boys who are coerced to do sex with mature older women. Rape can also take place between a man and another man. In this context, a more powerful man forces the less powerful man to submit into doing sex with that person. Rape in all its forms is unacceptable in all societies across the world. The act infringes individual rights where the victims suffer psychological torture. Young children may also fall victims of rape where their lives become endangered. Individuals who fall victims of rape may take a long time recuperating. This is because of the negative picture that is painted on their minds which becomes difficult to control. Rape perpetrators have long been classified as influenced by unbridled sexual…
