Question

Sometimes it is helpful to get an outside perspective. In your discussion post, describe your selected social science issue and include two relevant questions that social science professionals (e.g., psychologists, sociologists, or anthropologists) might be interested in. In response to your peers, add a relevant question or summary that will support them in narrowing the investigative focus for their topic/issue. To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric document.

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

This issue that I have selected in the field of social sciences to examine is in regard to the social factors that influence to and/or responsible for addiction in individuals. This issue is very important because drugs abuses and addiction have been a major predicament in our society for a very long time. Now, more than it is before, a lot of individuals in our society are losing their lives to substances like fentanyl and opiates. This particular topic hits home with me since my childhood friend later turned out to be addicted to a particular substance, and unfortunately, last June she ended up overdosing.

Below are two pertinent and significant questions that scholars in the field of social science might be interested in. Psychologists

1. What environmental stressors influence drug use?

2. Are brain abnormalities the culprit of addiction?

Sociologists

1. How do the roles of attitude and behavior have on groups who become addicted?

2. What circumstances have led groups to become addicted to drugs?

Anthropologists

1. Do certain geographic locations have more of a problem with addiction?

2. How have drugs and addictions changed cultural views?
