Need help with my History question – I’m studying for my class.
Questions:
1. How would you define the term “drugs”? In what ways does this reading challenge, expand upon, or reinforce your understanding of drugs?
2. What role does biology (or biochemistry) play in Courtwright’s explanation of why people use drugs? What kinds of examples does he give to show how chemistry influences people’s drug consumption choices? Do you think biochemistry is as important as culture in understanding patterns of drug consumption? Explain
3. What role does culture play in Courtwright’s explanation of why people use drugs? What kinds of historical examples does he offer to show how culture influences people’s drug consumption choices? Do you think culture is as important as biochemistry in understanding patterns of drug consumption? Explain
4. What role do economics play in Courtwright’s explanation of why people use drugs? How do the biochemical aspects of drug consumption shape drug markets, and conversely, how do drug markets shape patterns of drug consumption? How do drug markets work to create secondary drug (or drug-related) markets?
