Cocaine
Explanation:
All addictive drug directly or indirectly activate or stimulate the reward center. Alcohol, opium and marijuana indirectly stimulates the reward center through the peripheral nerves. In the case of cocaine, this drug directly activates or stimulates the reward center instead of through peripheral nerves.
Normally, during neural communication process, dopamine is released into the synapses by a neuron, where it is able to bind to dopamine receptors in other neuron and further recycled through the dopamine transporter into the transmitting neuron. In the presence of cocaine, the dopamine transporter is blocked resulting in dopamine build up hence stimulating the reward system.
Answer:
Stereotype Threat
Explanation:
Stereotype Threat is a very common situation in which all of us are part of at least once in our life. In this kind of situations an individual, which is prone to belong in a group, act´s in a negative or counterproductive way to his interestest´s, just for not being different from the group.
There are 3 things we need to have straight to understand this:
- First, it is almost natural to us human beings to want to belong somewhere: to a family, a group of friends, a job.... we want to be part of the society in which we live in.
- To be part of the group we have to share some "common grounds" (rules, manners, same kind´s of goals and desires, similar moral values, etc.)
- Sometimes this "common grounds" are negative and counterproductive to us (and most of the times they are stereotypes).
Imagine now not the scenario of the tall students, but one more real: about black students. For many years, even nowadays, theres a very common stereotype about black people: they are lazy, they are not succesfull, they are meant to be poor, etc.
Now imagine theres a black girl who want to apply to college and needs to pass a test and the teacher in charge says something like that just before the exam starts. The girl will feel bad and will probably be victim of an Stereotype Threat resulting on her failling (she, at some point, will beleive that what the teacher says is true!).
<u>Nowadays there´s a big worldwide campaign against this kind of phenomena because it is a contributing factor to long-standing racial and genders gaps in both academic and profesional performance.</u>
