HYPOTHESEIS Commented [INV2]: This should be in separate page
Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman
In Cebu City, teenagers are more involved in illegal drugs than adult and senior citizen. Shabu is
the most common and used by drug addicts in Cebu City. The lack of parental guidance is one of
the reasons behind to this crime and lack of information about drugs and how it affects human
health. One of the reasons that people may tend to use drugs is how they influence by how the
money works through illegal drugs transactions. They also tend to use by how their friends
manipulate them. As the economic problem arises, corruption also one of the problem, people
would undergo illegal works to gain money and they might really tend to use drugs and other
illegal works. Hence, social influence is one of the reasons for this and social program will be the
cause to stop this and there are about many drug addicts tend to surrendered particularly in Cebu
City.
RATIONALE Commented [INV3]: This should come first after the front
page. Also why don’t you have any in-text citations? Please put at
least 3 to validate your argument/ideas
According to an article entitled “Understanding Drug use and Addiction” states that Addiction is Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman

a chronic disease characterized by drug seeking and use that compulsive or difficult to control,
despite harmful consequences. The objective of this study is to educate the community because
drug addiction is a very serious problem where most of the county facing right now and because
of this research the guardian or parents can be more educated on how they will monitor and
control their child. The researchers give guidelines on how to identify people who are involve in
the illegal drugs and ways to help them overcome this. This study will also aim to lessen the use
of illegal drugs and prevent from trying it.

Because of its geographic location, the Philippines has become a major hub for the drug in
Southeast Asia. This has contributed to more incidents of Filipinos getting arrested in other
countries for transporting or selling shabu.(Radana,2016.) The researchers conduct this kind of
research study to know the importance, since drug addiction is a trend crime that happening not
just in Cebu but into the whole world. The importance of this study is also to be aware of who
those people are, what kind these people are and what they will do. Through this, people will
know about that usually addicts do and done. This study will help the people to awaken their
mind to stop and prevent using illegal drugs. The subject of the researchers is needed to research
more because this generation many have engaged in illegal drugs. The researchers wants the
people to know what will happen if they take drugs and aiming to stop taking illegal drugs.

There are many innocent people who died and suffer because of drug addicts. That is why the
researchers of this said problem dig deeper to the recent problem that the previous study does not
show off why other drug users surrendered or stop in taking drugs and what are reason for them
to stop. At first, addiction is maintained by pleasure, but the intensity of this pleasure gradually
diminishes and the addiction is then maintained by the avoidance of pain (Tallis,2015.)

The study shows about what are drug, why it is addictive, and how to prevent drugs. It is clearly
incomplete that the previous research is not reliable than our research. The researchers find
something to dig deep and internalize and have better improvement on the current study. For the
Cebu City that is one of the highest rates in using drugs. As researchers we will propose that
rehabilitation will be more implemented by the president more program (medical services
program, seminars on drug awareness, rehabilitation consultation, drug test program) to conduct
and strict policies to conclude and the individual should let understand, prevent, and treat about
drugs.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE Commented [INV4]: Separate page please

Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman
In this generation using drugs is very rampant and sometimes people think that it cannot be cured
or prevented nor stopped. With thorough research this study aims to prove that drug addiction
can be stop, cure and one move for it is to surrender, get rehabilitated and take medicines to be
able to have a good life (2016 July). Hence, addiction as we all know is products of influence in
our social life but addiction can therefore be treatable and can be managed successfully.
Researchers have found out that the common illegal drugs that the users use are Shabu and
mostly the users are men here specifically here in Cebu. According to a source (Mayo Clinic
Staff (2014 December)) the best therapy for an individual to recover from addiction is the
combination of medicine treatment and behavioral therapy. Commented [INV5]: Make sure you have 5 sources at least

The researches conduct this psychological type of study to be able to let people know what the Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman

happenings in the society are and how people affected by drugs and because of the lack of
parental guidance of parents and the lack of experience. That’s why this research study is
important for it would really help the society to inform and to be aware than the other research
studies before. According to an article “Understanding Drug Use and Addiction” that many
people don't understand why or how other people become addicted to drugs. They may
mistakenly think that those who use drugs lack moral principles or willpower and that they could
stop their drug use simply by choosing to. In reality, drug addiction is a complex disease, and
quitting usually takes more than good intentions or a strong will. Drugs change the brain in ways
that make quitting hard, even for those who want to.

This research is much entertaining and efficient because of the good information it have and lots
information to learn of and how and why there are drug addicts who surrendered and some
reasons are they want to renew their life, stop using illegal drugs and some are influenced by
todays law that threatened them to stop and surrender. One source (Croft H. MD. (2015
October)) Talks about how the brain affects the condition of the brain because of how it
influence and thinks but to stop this from using it is also good that they should be influence by a
good environment by stopping them in using drugs. There are other sources (Goldberg J. MD.
(2016 October) Medicine Net) also that tells on how to stop using this but our research problem
will much more liable for this contains lots of information right from the beginning of how drugs
use than the sources we got.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

This study uses two different theories which are Psychology and Science. In Psychology Theory
entitles “An overview of learning theories in Psychology” by Kendra Cherry. This theory
explains how and why people behave the way that they do and develops certain environmental
influences through humans. Social learning occurs through observation and observation can take
place at any time. . (Cherry K. (2017).Study Guide for Psychology Learning). In our research
problem people or the drug addicts can be directly influence by many social learning and
develops great ideas to follow some behavior like taking drugs. This theory relates to our
research problem since it talks certain influences by people who observes and interact between
social, cognitive, and environmental influences that pushes to do such certain things like using
illegal drugs until they are already used to it.

According to the article in science theory that “Drugs are chemicals that affects the brain by Commented [INV6]: After each theory explanation, please also
explain the relevance of this theory to your study
tapping into its communication system and interfering with the way neurons normally send or Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman

process information’s”. Drugs like Marijuana or Shabu can activate neurons because it has
chemical structure that mimics of a natural neurotransmitter in our brain. These drugs are leads
to the abnormality of the brain which interact the transmission or communication through the
brains that’s why it affects our brain. This theory relates on how the drug addicts cannot easily
stop using drugs especially when they already used to it because drugs abuse directly or
indirectly the brains reward system by flooding dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter
present in brain that regulates emotion, motivation, feelings of pleasure, when over stimulating
the system or the brain with drugs. It produces euphoric effects; reinforce the behavior of drug
use and teaching and teaching the user to repeat it.(Volkow Nora D. (2014). Drugs and the
Brain). So, it is a good way that the drug addicts surrendered and get rehabilitation for their own
sake and be able to start a new life because drugs are illegal or should not be tormented and will
have great effects not just in our whole body especially in our brain but also in our lifetime.
