Choose all that are true regarding opioids: [May need to choose more than response] a. Most of the men interviewed with heroin addiction started with prescription drugs

b. Opium is stronger and more addictive than heroin

c. Opiates have always been prescribed appropriately and there is no risk of addiction if someone is in physical pain.

d. Naturally occurring opiates in the body (native or endogenous) indirectly allow the release of dopamine. These are released to help block painful stimuli.

e. Legal opioids like morphine or Vicodin are never illegally used

people are just afraid of difference. honestly no where in the bible does it say you can't be gay or bi or anything it says he loves all his children the same and he wants the best for us but we need to be truthful and all that yadda yadda anyways, god doesn't hate gays, he does hate hate, hypocrites, liars, and all that and even then he forgives those who ask for it. so your mum's reasoning is totally wrong xd sorry love, i had to rant a bit but i hate it when people do that. if anything i accept you! stay amazing! ^-^

be confident on yourself. ignore such fools and move on ; )

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
