What Are Some Movies About Losing Everything?

Question by Bob: What are some movies about losing everything?
I’m looking for some movies about someone who falls from grace and loses everything either due to drug addiction or substance abuse. Possibly about someone who starts drinking and beings to use other drugs until they’ve lost everything, or about someone successful whose life spirals out of control. If the movie ends with them finding religion that would be even better. I can’t seem to find anything quite what I’m looking for. The movie Cocaine Angel is about as close as I can get.

Do You Think Homosexuality Is a Gene That Scientists Need to Fix?

Question by PLANET MAN: Do you think homosexuality is a gene that scientists need to fix?
SCIENTISTS are hard at work to try to find genetic causes for alcoholism, drug addiction, promiscuity, violence, other aberrant behavior, and even for death itself. Would it not be a relief to find that we are not responsible for our actions but are merely victims of biology? It is human nature to blame someone or something else for our errors.

If the genes are to blame, scientists hold out the possibility of changing them, eliminating undesirable traits through genetic engineering. The recent success in mapping the entire human genome has given such aspirations new impetus.

Best answer:

Answer by elle
I think it’s asking what role do social institutions (ex: schools, prisons, family, government, etc.) play in drug abuse. Like, are they the cause/problem, do they try to prevent it, what’s the effect on them

Should Parents Be More Concerned About Weed or Prescription Drugs When It Comes to Their Children?

Question by Joe B: Should parents be more concerned about weed or prescription drugs when it comes to their children?
In today’s society from your personal opinion, which is more popular and which should the government be concerned about?

Clearly in the past it was weed, do you believe this should remain the focal point of the governments propaganda or should they shift to prescription drug abuse?

I know when I was a kid we had anti drug lessons in health but I don’t recall anything regarding prescription drugs.
