The paper should be 4-5 pages in length, using a standard 11- or 12-point font (e.g., Calibri or Times New Roman), double-spaced with 1” margins, and follow APA citations and format style (abstract is not needed). The page requirement does NOT include the title page or reference list (if needed). Papers must be submitted as a Microsoft Word file (.doc or .docx).
For this paper, you are being asked to write a critique of a movie that portrays psychoactive drug use in America. The critique will be based on the guidelines and questions listed below. Please be sure to address each question. These will help you summarize and interpret the information presented in the movie, relate that information to the knowledge you gained so far in class, and draw conclusions of your own. This is an important point because the assignment asks that you observe the behavioral and physiological effects of psychoactive drugs as portrayed in the film, and films do not always portray scientifically accurate effects of psychoactive drugs.
Please note that full credit for this assignment requires that your critique address each of the following questions. Your critique should be thoughtful, analytical and concise. Please begin your critique with a brief (4-5 sentences) summary of the movie (5 pts), then answer the following questions:
*What psychoactive drugs were used by the main character and/or characters in this movie? (5 pts)
*What time period was the movie portraying? What were society’s views at the time on the use of the psychoactive drugs depicted in the movie? (5 pts)
*Describe some of the behavioral and physiological effects associated with the main character’s use of this psychoactive drug(s), as depicted in the movie. Do not confuse the behavioral and physiological effects of the drug with behavioral signs of drug abuse or addiction. (10 pts)
*Describe some of the societal problems (including those related to finances, careers, relationships, etc.) associated with psychoactive drug use by the main character. (5 pts)
*Did the movie suggest that certain external factors (societal, environmental, psychological, physiological, etc.) contributed to psychoactive drug use by the main character? If so, what were they and how might they have triggered psychoactive drug use by the main character? (5 pts)
*Do you believe that the main character was “addicted” to the psychoactive drug(s) he/she was using during the movie? Why or why not? (5 pts)
*Explain how the main character viewed his/her psychoactive drug use. Did this viewpoint change throughout the movie? If so, how? (5 pts)
