For the movie, you will write a paper (three pages, double-spaced with one-inch margins).
<
Movie papers should adhere to the style guide of the American Psychological Association
<
(APA), most notably the guidelines for citations and references.You are expected to use the textbook (https://opentext.wsu.edu/biopsychological-effects-alcohol-drugs/) and to provide a minimum of two credible scientific
<
references to support your assessment. A credible reference is a journal article published in the
<
medical or scientific literature. A credible reference is NOT an online science item and (heaven
<
forbid) not Wikipedia. Online sources of information or even science news items are generally
<
written by science writers, who may not be entirely familiar with the research. Credible
<
references (journal articles) are generally written by the scientists or clinicians who designed,
<
conducted and interpreted the results of the research. The best source of credible scientific
<
references is PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed), which is maintained by the U.S.
<
National Library of Medicine. These two references must be cited in proper APA style (but
<
single spaced) on a fourth page following your three-page document. You must have read the
<
journal article in order to list it as a reference.
<
Your paper should consists of the three following parts:
<
Part 1. The Character
<
? Put yourself into the shoes of the protagonist. Provide a brief background of the character
<
(e.g., socioeconomic class, environment, stressors, any other pertinent info, etc.). If there
<
is more than one protagonist, pick one character to focus on.
<
? Analyze his or her behavior. What are you feeling? What are your thoughts? Do you
<
feel alienated? How do you think other people perceive you? Are you paranoid?
<
Part 2. The Drug
<
? Discuss the pharmacology of the abused drug in question. If multiple drugs appeared in
<
the movie, pick one drug to focus on. How does it work? What are its biopsychological
<
effects? Be specific.
<
Part 3. The Film
<
? You are now a film critic. What is your opinion on how drug abuse was portrayed in this
<
film? Do you feel that the fictional portrayal was accurate/inaccurate? Why? Provide
<
examples.
<
? What stereotypes of the drug abuser do you feel were illustrated?
<
? Did the screenwriter portray drug abuse as a criminal activity or medical disorder?
<
? Did the movie simply tell a story or did it try to produce understanding of the
<
protagonist’s abuse of drugs?
<
Each part should take roughly a page apiece; references can go on a fourth page. Make sure to answer ALL of these questions.
