Identify and explain the general concepts of biological theory,
psychological theory, and sociological theory as they pertain to drug
use and abuse. Once you have done that, identify one specific theory out
of the three areas (such as anomie, differential association,
psychoanalytic theory, operant conditioning, behavior modification) that
you believe best explains why an individual would choose to use drugs,
and articulate why this is the best explanation. Be sure to include an
assessment of the identified theory, including a discussion of relevant
concepts and examples to support your choice.
The paper will be a minimum of 4 pages of written text (the cover page and reference page do not count in the page minimum).
