Music and Drugs Beginning with the late 1960 s
counterculture in San Francisco, music and drugs
will forever be inter-linked. Hippie bands such as
the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, and Phish
are associated with marijuana, mushrooms, and LSD.
Modern electronic rave, or club music is
associated with MDMA or Ecstasy. When one thinks
of rock and roll, sex and drugs immediately come
to mind. While the use of drugs is not essential
for the creation or performance of all new music,
it was certain...

Low Self Esteem Alcohol And Drug Abuse
621 words
There is no simple answer to why a teen might
begin using drugs or alcohol. Many times, it is a
combination of several things. They may turn to
drugs to escape stress or loneliness or to
overcome shyness in social situations. They may
want to be seen as grown up, or they may simply be
curious. Teens often want to be like their role
models as well; so, if their favorite music group
or a "cool" friend at school uses drugs or
alcohol, they may also use drugs or alcohol to be
like them. (Teen Health...

Hip Hop Gang Violence

ol> In searching for a properly post-modern style
of music, it may be better to look at the
electronic music scene, which began with house
music in the early to middle 80 s, rather than at
hip-hop. It is true that the hip-hop artist
generally disappears into the narrative of the
music to the extent that many of their lives are a
direct reflection of what they sing about: gang
violence, drugs, racism, alienation in the US,
etc. but here already we encounter two problems.
One is the existential ch...

Middle Aged Man Clich
1,428 words
Lolita is perhaps one of the most disturbing
novels of the century: it tells the immoral story
of a middle- aged man who falls in love with a
twelve year- old girl (a nymphet, as he calls her)
and has a sexual relationship with her for over
two years, until she disappears with another more
perverse middle- aged man. What makes this novel
particularly disturbing is the fact that Humbert's
sexual perversion is disguised in highly poetic
garb and that the only monitor of virtue is the
gifted perver...

love and joy and sorrow, of romantic visions and
practical ambitions, in the heart of a woman. The

School Age Children War On Drugs

The negative connotations that surround the issue
of drug use have been perpetuated by the media and
have created a very unhealthy societal fear of
drugs. Improper drug use is dangerous, not the
chemical compound itself. A major factor in one s
drug experience is the users personality. A person
with psychological problems who takes LSD will
most likely have those problems magnified when
under the influence of the drug. However,
psychologically healthy people who are
knowledgeable and prepared fo...

Clich Sexual Desires

Vladimir Nabokov, one of the 20 th century's
greatest writers, is a highly aesthetic writer.
Most of his work shows an amazing interest in and
talent for language. He deceptively uses language
in Lolita to mask and make the forbidden divine.
Contextually, Lolita may be viewed as a novel
about explicit sexual desire. However, it is the
illicit desire of a stepfather for his 12 -year
old stepdaughter. The novels subject inevitably
conjures up expectations of pornography, but there
