Sesssion 11 Perspectives

Purpose

In Session 11, students examine their specific attitudes toward drug use in the context of their general views toward social problems, which may elicit a more conservative, anti-drug abuse perspective.

Description

The primary activity is a discussion/demonstration in which students discuss what it means to have a radical, moderate, and conservative view about a social issue. They participate in a demonstration in which they state and briefly debate their views on three specific social issues (gun control, anti-smoking laws, and drug use). They learn that most people have moderate views about drug use.
