Practical II
Selected Topic: Discuss the developments of alcoholism amongst youth
From Personal types of websites,
http://www.focusas.com/Alcohol.html
This website tells us about the abuse of alcohols among youths. It lists some of the reasons why youths start taking alcohol, which includes reasons like, '...initiation tests that qualifies a youth to an adult or manhood...', '...most convenient pass time...' The website also includes the personal opinion of Rudolp Dyal, about the alcohol abuse among youths. He also suggested some solutions to prevent and minimize youths from abusing alcohol. In my opinion, Rudolph Dyal's intention in writing this report/article is that he's concern about the increasing number of youths taking alcohol and wanted to offer some solutions to help the youths.
Subject based,
http://www.mtsu.edu/~tsbrown/aay1110_files/frame.htm
The website gives us the necessary information such as 'Effects of alcoholism' and 'Prevention of alcoholism'. It also includes a survey done by the researcher on when do youths starting drinking etc.
Organization,
http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/InTheNews/UnderageDrinking/1116634926.html
This website tells us that alcohol-poisoning in youths are very rare, which is about half-dozen per year. It also tells us that an alcohol-poisoning death in youths happens in those who have the least knowledge and experience with alcohol and drinking. In my opinion, i think that this website is credible and up-to-date. This is because the article is updated on the 18th April 2006, and it is uploaded by the State University of New York. Therefore, the facts listed should be current and credible.
http://www.addiction-help-line.com/alcohol_addiction.html
This website gives some startling statistics such as, '...Average age when youths first try alcohol is 11years for boys and 13years for girls...', 'over three million youths are out-and-out alcoholics...' This makes us wonder what will happen in the future, when the alcoholic youths grow up and enter the working society. This website definitely has credibility, as the information is provided by the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information.
Discussion Forum,
