respond to one of these two prompts:
- All human behavior, by definition, flows from one of two sources: heredity vs. environment. Our conduct proceeds from our genetic legacy and/or our life experiences. Comment upon your own opinion and overall life view as to the nature of negative addictive behavior, both as an individual and as a public administrator, using the course readings and videos to support your ideas.
- Our video, Pleasure Unwoven, initially appears to suggest the addict has little or no choice in their decision to use self-destructive substances. Later, the video seems to change that position. Based upon the content and message of the video, choose a scale number from 1 to 10 that describes your view of the addicts ability to control their use of substances. Explain and defend your numerical choice using the course readings and videos to support your ideas.
