Drug Testing in Employment: Discussion of Arguments Presented and in Relation to Capitalism
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing drug testing in the work place arguments. DesJardins and Duska (1996) present two different arguments in regards to drug testing in employment. The first argument is based on the assumption that drug use adversely affects job performance which is rejected as a sound argument by the authors. The second argument is based on the assumption that employee drug use can harm the employer, other employees and the public which is considered acceptable by the authors only if there it is restricted and there is a consideration that drug testing should be voluntary by the employees. However, DesJardins and Duska do not provide sufficient basis for even their second argument in which under some circumstances employees could be tested to prevent harm. Regardless of the circumstance, employees who use drugs cannot be assumed that they will bring harm to others similar to the basis used in the argument that employees who use drugs will be assumed to decrease in productivity. In both arguments, if employee performance is still considered satisfactory to the employer, than any other information gathered about the employee would be considered an invasion of privacy and would not ever warrant drug testing.

Drug Use and Treatment of Hispanic Immigrants
[ send me this paper ]
A 19 page paper discussing the influence of culture on addiction treatment. Much of the research into drug use among Hispanics of the past has identified Hispanics only by cultural identification, without giving a clear picture of those cultural matters that can influence whether a Mexican American chooses to seek help in breaking an addiction. There are several aspects of the Mexican American culture that prevent Mexican Americans from moving along the same path of addiction resolution that individuals of other ethnic groups navigate in similar journeys. This paper discusses some of these points, including acculturization and the tradition of relying on family groups in times of crisis. Counselors need to realize that Hispanics who enter treatment likely already have used these social structures without success. Includes an abstract and an outline. Bibliography lists 19 sources.

Ecstasy

A 10 page paper tracing the development of the 'designer drug' ecstasy and the events leading to its proclamation as illegal in the US, and arguing in favor of a continued ban on legal status. Proponents claim it to be harmless, but the evidence appears to indicate otherwise. Even if research did indeed come to the point that it could be concluded based on the facts at hand that there is no long-term damage (i.e., brain damage or death), the conclusion would still only be a partial one in that we are still unsure of precisely what constitutes brain damage. For the present, ecstasy's inclusion on DEA's Schedule I is one that should be continued. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Ecstasy Use As A Party Drug: Cause And Effect
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The need for artificial stimulation has long been associated with the social circuit, inasmuch as various drugs provide an assortment of synthetically inspired sensations that take people to another mental or physical plane. Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), more commonly known as ecstasy, is one of the more popular party drugs because of the favorable feelings it induces, the result of a change of the brain's neurotransmitter serotonin that controls mood. Ecstasy produces a false sense of peacefulness that compels users to interact with one another in a markedly tolerant and accepting fashion known as empathogenesis; the longing to convey love and be in the company of beauty - technically termed entactogenesis - has served to label ecstasy as the 'hug drug.'
