Consider celebrities who are viewed as examples for
minors and other easily influenced individuals.
Some of these celebrities obtain their "coolness" from
drug use and irresponsible behavior. Media tabloids
give the celebrities the publicity that the celebrities require.
What are your thoughts on allowing publicizing a celebrity
in drug rehab as an example that irresponsibility has
consequences? If only a celebrities enjoyment of
irresponsibility is publicized then isn't that reinforcing
irresponsibility for the media viewers.
The main controversy in this question is as follows:
Is it more socially beneficial to prevent drug use before
it happens?
OR/Both?
Is it more socially beneficial to make current drug users
comfortable with seeking rehab?
Obviously this a multi-dimensional controversy. Some people
develop drug habits due to sincere life crisis while others
develop drug habits for unreasonable casual reasons.
Mamalissa:
"It's up to us as parents to raise our children, not ask that the world change to make our jobs easier, it doesn't work that way. "
Parents do have a responsibility
to guide their children. However,
in my opinion the purpose of a
democratic society is to ask the world
to change to suit the needs of the
people in the society. Parents
should get involved with the
policy makers they vote into
office on behalf of their children
who don't know the consequences
of inaction.
