7.8 percent have a substance use disorder of all adolescents and adults in the United States.

Genes, pharmacological effects, peer pressure, emotional anguish, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and environmental stress are all potential contributing variables.

Depression, attention deficit disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental illnesses are common among those who acquire substance use disorders.

Drugs affect how neurons use neurotransmitters to send, receive, and process signals. Because some drugs, like heroin and marijuana, have molecular structures that are similar to those of natural neurotransmitters in the body, they can activate neurons.

Chronic drug or alcohol use by you or someone you care about can alter brain chemistry and result in difficulties with paranoia, sadness, anxiety, violence, hallucinations, and other mental health conditions.

Answer:

The stage represented is called the Post-Conventional

Explanation:

According to lawrence kohlberg's theory of moral development, the so-called post-conventional stage is one in which the individual determines in his subconscious what is right and wrong based on democratically pre-established social parameters. At this stage, laws are considered as social contracts rather than a strict commandment. The individual who is participating in illegal public demonstrations against fur traffickers believes it is wrong to kill animals to remove their fur, so we can conclude that it is at the Post-Conventional stage.

In 1821 what was the problem mexican leaders had with texas

Anni [7]

The rebellions that erupted throughout Latin America to overthrow Spanish colonial rule, left Mexico with an array of problems that touched upon events in the far northern Mexican province of Texas. Economically, the country faced devastation in 1821. It stood in marked contrast to the rich colony that had promised great potential towards the end of the colonial era. Money barely circulated. Once-rich mines struggled to regain their former efficiency. Ranches and farms were no longer productive. With the economy in shambles, thousands faced unemployment. Entire areas experienced depopulation as people sought out a livelihood elsewhere. Moreover, differences over class distinctions split the nation as the landed gentry, the military, and church officials sought the preservation of the antebellum order, wherein they ruled alongside government. Additionally, many of the country's new leaders had had little prior experience in governing.

It has been debated a lot about Homo floresiensis, is it Homo sapiens that shrunk in size because of the conditions, or is it a separate hominid species. The general consensus nowadays is that Homo floresiensis is a separate species of hominid, and this has been based on anatomical and genetic analyses. This species of hominid is very interesting as it only grew to a height of 1.1 meters, was sing tools, but it also lived for some time along side the Homo sapiens, meaning that our species had encountered these small hominids.
