ATTACHED FILE(S)
For this task, you will utilize critical thinking and create a blog where you will provide a self-reflection on the following questions. A blog can be used to tell a story or create a dialogue around a particular issue. You are encouraged to be creative with this assignment, as long as you address clearly the three areas on the assignment. Be sure to address the following:
1. What is meant by the statement that substance abuse occurs on a continuum? Do you accept this idea, or do you think that there are fundamentally different characteristics that separate substance use from substance abuse or addiction?
2. The costs of substance use disorders in society are significant. What are some of the specific contributing factors that are behind some of these costs?
3. Do you think that the problem of substance abuse is blown out of proportion by the media, or perhaps underreported? Explain your position.
In addition to creating your blog, submit a copy of your blog along with the link to your blog, as with all other written assignments.
Your blog must be effectively designed and meet the following criteria:
1. Locate a website that your professor can easily access. It is suggested that you use a free website such as
http://www.wordpress.com/
.
2. Contains text that is readable (e.g., appropriate size of font, type of font, contrasts with background, contains sufficient white space),
3. Include information within the blog that supports the assignment.
4. Ensure all of the links are active and work.
5. Contains at least one graphic.
6. Contains the same template throughout with a consistent design.
Your blog should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your submission should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards where appropriate. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
