Moral analysts tranquilly
believe no generation has been thrilled by extreme sorts of malevolence,
immorality and has incredibly suffered intimidating addictions more than this
very generation to which I engrave this piece tonight. The word “addiction” is
derived from a Latin term for “enslaved by” or “bound to.” Anyone who has
struggled to overcome an addiction—or has tried to help someone else to do
so—understands why. Today, addiction is outrageously shared uniformly among the
young and the elderly, insinuating no one can guide the other any again as
nature (God) intended. For instance, technological advancement obviously places
the father and son prey to same addictive agents like social media, porn……..
Addiction can be defined as Habitual psychological or physiologic
dependence on a substance or practice that is beyond voluntary control. Alternatively,
Addiction may also be defined as a state characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding
stimuli despite adverse consequences.
Addiction exacts a high toll on individuals and society as a
whole through the direct adverse effects of drugs, associated healthcare costs,
long-term complications (e.g., lung cancer with
smoking tobacco, liver cirrhosis with drinking alcohol). Sexual addicts often
involuntarily risk in unsafe sex thus subjecting themselves and the associates to
all forms of sexually transmitted infections.
Habits and
patterns associated with addiction are typically characterized by immediate
gratification (short-term reward), coupled with delayed deleterious effects
(long-term costs).
Common examples of drug and behavioral addictions include:
Alcoholism
Cocaine addiction
Nicotine addiction
Opiate addiction
Food addiction
Gambling addiction
News and media addiction
Sexual addiction
