Essays on Hard Core

Studies have proved the stepping-stone theory, i.e. from simple addiction to “hard core” addiction, which is similar to gateway theory. Some users used canabis or marijuana as a “gateway” or substitute for alcohol, and those who used medical canabis were former canabis users. Charlton (as cited in Reiman, 2009) indicated that substitution with substances was used by some users to address the problem of alcohol addiction, but further using harder drugs for self-medication. Alcohol and tobacco have been regarded “soft” drugs and are used as “gateway” to “harder” ones. The stepping stone suggests that it is a progression (from ...

Pornland: How Porn has Hijacked our Sexuality was written by Gail Dines in 2010. As a sociologist, Dine’s perspective on pornography is that it has hampered the growth of sexuality and distorted the views of both young men and women, not only on sexuality as a whole, but on their own sexuality.

Gonzo porn is the focus of her book. This is porn that is hard core with sex that punishes the ...

Abstract

Economics is the science of studying behavioral aspects of the consumer market. Trends in the consumer market directly influence the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Micro economic specifically explores the aspects of rationalization that affects the decision making of the consumer market.

The consumer therefore is ...

Introduction Assisted suicide is a term used where doctors knowingly provided a patient or helps a person commit suicide. This can be done through inducing lethal drugs to the patients.

When doctors have to induce the assisted suicide, there has to be an agreement reached with patients, patient’s family and the doctors in order to ensure that the case is not conducted without the knowledge of the patients.

Bounded Rationality is essentially the term for rational behavior under some constraints upon an individual’s rationality regarding access to information, lack of capacity or special nature of utility functions. The original proposed approach of Bounded Rationality involved “satisficing”, by a search for additional information until an outcome was reached that satisfied the minimum needed utility for the individual (Selten, 1999). At this stage, the individual would stop searching, even though full rationality (with perfect information) was not reached. Bounded Rationality has since become an important part of economics, especially Behavioral economics, and aims to improve on the classical ...
