The story labeled ‘booze-branded merchandise may spur teen drinking’ indicates that teenagers owning merchandise with alcohol brands are at a high risk of drinking (Rauf, 2016, p.1). The research indicated a strong relationship between owning alcohol-branded merchandise (such as caps and shirts) with actual drinking of alcohol. Teenagers who did not drink were likely to start drinking a year after acquiring alcohol-branded items. Ownership creates the onset of drinking but has no influence on the amount of alcohol consumed. The conclusion emerges from a review of thirteen studies conducted by different researchers on the same subject. The review, however, ...

Concomitant to this increase in ...

In sociological studies, institutional analysis is conducted for understanding how institutions affect and influence individual and collective human behavior. Conclusions can be made through empirical approaches or inferential analyses, which give various scientifically admissible conclusions on the subject. Past studies have shown ...
