Role of education to curb social evils like corruption
Answers
Answer:
The problem of drug use or abuse is often viewed in unitary terms. The problem may be viewed as the drug itself, or the person who has the problem, or the society in which the problem is occurring. This leads to oversimplifications. The public health approach to the abuse of psycho-active substances helps to overcome unitary thinking on the subject. It takes into account the agent (abusing psycho-active substance), the host (a person affected by drug or alcohol abuse) and the environment (society and culture in which drug or alcohol abuse occur), which contribute in various ways to the occurrence of drug or alcohol problems. This suggests that an understanding of the person's use of psycho-active substances must include not only the interactions between the drug and the person (the two factors most obvious in the clinical context), but also interaction between the drug and society (such as social approval of drug use) and between the person and society (such as the person's role and status within society, or the person's acceptance of social norms).
