  Amphetamine Use and Abuse

Aaliyah continues to struggle with balancing her work  hours and her schoolwork. She has been drinking coffee to help her stay  awake, but it is no longer working. She has an exam coming up and needs  to stay up to study.

Aaliyah decides to take an amphetamine to stay awake to  study for the exam. She promises herself that she will only take it this  one time for the exam. The drug allows her to stay awake and alert  while she is studying for the exam. She also feels that she is learning  the material better as a result of the amphetamine. When the grades are  in, Aaliyah receives an A on her work.

As the semester continues, Aaliyah turns to amphetamines  more and more often to help her stay awake to complete her schoolwork.  Soon, Aaliyah finds that one pill no longer keeps her awake as long as  she needs.

She starts taking more than one pill at a time. She  knows that taking amphetamines so often is not good for her health, and  she finds she experiences an increase in headaches when she takes them,  but she continues to take them because they are helping her be  successful in school and at work.

Based on the case study, prepare a paper that addresses the following:

Examine the change in amphetamine use and abuse in the U.S. from the 1950s to the present. Explain to which schedule amphetamines belong and why they are on the Schedule of Controlled Substances. Explain the effects Aaliyah might be experiencing as a result of her regular amphetamine use. Be sure to include:   Acute effects, chronic effects, and withdrawal

Effects on physiology (brain and body), behavior, mood, and toxicity Give at least three indications from the case study suggesting there  may be a problem with Aaliyah’s substance use. That is, describe at  least three likely behaviors that Aaliyah is likely to exhibit if she is  misusing amphetamines.

Determine whether Aaliyah has a substance use disorder.  Include a discussion of DSM criteria. Use the template to help you make  the assessment.

Write a 4-5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources

Week 5 – Final Paper        Final Paper   Please read these assignment instructions before writing your paper, and re-read them often during and after the writing process to make sure that you are fulfilling all of the instructions. Please also utilize the assignment guidance and the outlined model provided.  Overview In the Week One Assignment, you formulated a concrete ethical question, took a position on that topic, and identified a reason supporting and a reason opposing that position. In the Week Three Assignment, you discussed either deontological or utilitarian theory, applied that theory to the question, and raised a relevant objection.  By engaging with the course material, you now have had a chance to refine your thinking and broaden your understanding of the problem by approaching it from the perspective of multiple ethical theories.  In this paper, you will demonstrate what you have learned by writing an essay in which you •Present a revised formulation of the ethical question and introduction to the topic. •Explain the kind of reasoning you think is the best way to approach this question, and how that reasoning supports the position you think is strongest. •Raise an objection, and be able to respond to it.  Instructions Write an essay that conforms to the requirements below. The paper must be 1500 to 2000 words in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..  The paragraphs of your essay should conform to the following guidelines: • Introduction Your first paragraph should begin with the topic question, suitably revised. It should be focused, concrete, and on a relevant moral problem. You should then introduce the topic in the way described by the Week One instructions, but reflecting the developed understanding and information you have gained about the topic and any necessary refinement of the scope.  Follow this with a thesis statement that states your position, and a brief description of the primary reason(s) supporting your position. (See the handout on thesis statements provided). Finally, provide a brief preview of the overall aim and procedure of your paper.  • Explanation and Demonstration of Moral Reasoning This section of the Final Paper will explain and demonstrate what you believe to be the best way of reasoning about the question you have chosen, and showing how that reasoning supports the position you have taken on the question. You might explain the principles, rules, values, virtues, conceptions of purposes and ends, and other general ideas that you find persuasive, and show how they support concrete judgments.  In the course of doing so, you must make reference to at least two of the approaches that we have examined in the course (such as deontological, utilitarian, or virtue-based), and utilize at least one resource off the provided list for each of the two approaches. One of these theories may be the theory you discussed in your Week Three Assignment, but your discussion here should be more refined.  For example, you might find the reasoning associated with Aristotelian virtue ethics to be the most compelling, and reference Aristotle in the process of showing how that reasoning supports a certain conclusion. In the course of this, you could contrast that with a utilitarian approach, referencing Mill for instance.  • Objection and Response After explaining the ethical reasoning that supports your position, you should raise an objection and respond to it. An objection articulates a plausible reason why someone might find the argument weak or problematic. You should explain how it brings out this weakness, and do so in a way that would be acceptable to someone who disagrees with your own argument. Then, provide the best response you can to the objection, showing how it does not undermine your position. Your response should not simply restate your original position or argument, but should say something new in support of it.  • Conclusion Provide a conclusion that sums up what you presented in the paper and offers some final reflections.  Resource Requirement You must use at least four scholarly resources. Two of the resources must be drawn from the list of acceptable primary resources on each of the two theories you discuss. For example, if you discuss deontology and virtue ethics, you would need at least one resource under the “Deontology” list and at least one resource under the “Virtue Ethics” list. The other two may be from either the Required or Recommended Resources, or scholarly resources found in the Ashford University Library. •The textbook may be cited, but it does not count toward the resource requirement. If you cite the textbook, you will still need to cite at least four more sources that fulfill the requirements stated above. •If you need help with finding additional resources, or are unsure about whether a particular resource will count toward the requirement, please contact your instructor. •For sources to count toward the resources requirement, they must be cited within the text of your paper and on the reference page. Sources that are listed on the references page, but not cited within the paper, do not count toward fulfilling the resources requirement. •For information regarding APA, including samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center.  NeedWritingHelp.jpg     Writing specialists are here 24/7, every day of the year, ready to support you! •Click HERE to instantly chat with an online tutor. •Click HERE to submit your paper for a review.
