Explanation:
Behavioral perspective- This is a theoretical perspective through which behavior and learning are described in terms of stimulus-response (SR) relationships. According to behaviorists, a person's behavior is a result of the interaction with the given environment. There are two processes through which people learn and develop skills from their environments: Operant conditioning and Classical conditioning.
Cognitive perspective- This involves the understanding of mental processes, for example, perception, memory, problem-solving, and thinking. It states that our thought processes influence the way we behave.
United States, Germany and the Scandinavian coutries represent a low-context culture due to they have an explicit type of communication based on clear, defined and well-expressed information in the messages that are sent.

Two of the misconceptions that derived from the Anti Drug Abuse Act of 1986 and that the third report wanted to fix were:
There is no rational medical or penological reason why charges related to crack cocaine are treated as much worse than those related to powdered cocaine. The reasoning appears to be racially motivated.
The stereotype of "crack babies" is a false one. Babies exposed to crack cocaine exhibit the same conditions as those exposed to powdered cocaine or tobacco, which are low weight, height or head circumference. Developmental delays and other similar problems are attributed to the environment the child grows up in, not to in-utero problems.
