Opiates are powerful painkillers. They are made from opium, a white liquid in the poppy plant. Opiates produce a quick, intense feeling of pleasure followed by a sense of well-being and calm.

Long-term opiate use changes the way the brain works by changing the way nerve cells communicate with one another. If opiates are taken away from opiate-dependent brain cells, many of them will become overactive. Eventually, cells will work normally again if the person recovers, but they cause wide range of withdrawal symptoms that affect the mind and the body.

As with many other drugs, opiates possess very high addictive potential.

Examples include: heroin, morphine, codeine, and Oxycontin.

Depressants slow normal brain function. Because of this effect, depressants are often used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders.

Although the different depressant drugs work uniquely in the brain, it is through their effect on GABA activity that produces a drowsy or calming effect. GABA works to decrease brain activity.

Despite their prescription for treatment of anxiety and sleep disorders, depressants also carry high addictive potential. The withdrawal effects from long-term depressant use can be life-threatening and produce some of the worst consequences of any other drug classifications. Keep in mind: this includes alcohol.

Examples include: alcohol, Valium, Xanax, Librium, and barbiturates.

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley; i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten, all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however, many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn; whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today, its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.

Hi, i would like you to comment on this comment or ask me about that task? *do you think that the subjective aspects as well as the opinions and attitudes of people can be measured scientifically and objectively? how do the three measurement scales we met in this module contribute to this topic? yes. to science, we have at our disposal several methods to measure and analyze all kinds of natural and social phenomena (such as the opinions and attitudes of people) objectively. the three scales of measurement provide interesting data to measure the opinions of people about an object, event or person. they are used for different situations depending on our object of study. the thurstone scale is used to measure the attitude of people through an opinion on a subject in question (usually religious or political), since it comprises a range of possibilities, thus being able to assess in detail and according to a punctuated list, the opinion of the respondent. the likert scale, however, allows to measure the degree of acceptance or rejection of people in a situation presented, being able to strongly agree, or in complete disagreement. finally, the bogardus social distance scale allows us to measure the attitudes of a group of people towards another social group. its main purpose was to measure racial and national prejudices.
