methamphetamine
Meth is a really serious drug that affects a lot in the human body. Many persons that take this drug dont leave it again its one of the most addicting drugs that exists. Many of them are forced to take and many of them arent but the ones that take it will keep doing it its almost imposible to stop. The perosns that take this drugs suffer a lot becuase it ruins their physical image they become ugly and seem older. The ones that have taken this drug feel bad because they know they cant do anything to stop it so they continue taking the drug and it affects them more every single year. when they compare them from how their physical look was before and after you can see they can look even 20 years older and they have wrinkles and their faces are a disaster. Many of them are also force to be violated they cant do anything about it and also they can have a meth baby and this is a really bad issue becasuse if they are pregnant and they are still taking the meth drug this will affect the baby and the baby will become addict.

Body Language
5 Examples of Body Language.
1)Folding arms
It suggests insecurity or being in a defensive attitude.

Hiding your hands under a conference table or desk, for example, signals untrustworthiness; a cue from ancient times, when men would reveal their palms to show they were unarmed.
3) Excessive smiling
Indicates lack of seriousness and sometimes of confidence.
4)Playing with your hair, or accessories
It often demonstrates distress and nervousness while flattering.
5)Leg crossing
It demonstrates resistance
10 Examples of Body Language that are culturally different from my own.
1) Eye contact
In some Asian and African cultures is rude and disrespectful
2) Nose tap
“be careful” in Italy
3)Pointing
Pointing with the index is impolite is Asian cultures, instead they point with their hands.
4) Rocking the head back forth slowly
It means “yes I am listening in many Asian cultures”.
5) Pulling the ear
“you are in my heart” in Navajo islands
6)The “come here” gesture
Could be seen as an insult in Asian countries
7) Nodding the head
While we use it for expressing acceptance, in some parts of Greece, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Turkey it means “No”.
8) Raising eye browns
Yes in Thailand and other Asian cultures
9) Pointing the nose
“It’s me” in Japan
10) Holding hands
In parts of Asia and the middle east men who are friends walk holding their hands
10 examples of body language that are between men and women.
1) Smilying
Men smile more frequently and the smile takes time to fade away. Women, too, smile frequently, but the smile lasts only for a while
2) Head position (negative situation)
If the situation is negative, a woman will not indulge in eye contact. Conversely, a man would look more steadily towards the interlocutor.
3) Show of interest
Men show their interest in women by sitting close to them or touching their shoulder or arms softly, while talking. Conversely, women touch the arms or shoulders of men softly only if they like the physical closeness of the person.
4) Facial gestures
In day to day living, men display facial gestures that are more relaxed and express less warmth, while women’s gestures are lighter and more flexible.
5) Neck Rubbin
Undoubtedly, the neck is one of woman’s most sensitive zones. Soft smooth skin is what drives men crazy and the neck is the most socially acceptable area to display it. And touching it stimulates a gentle, soothing, and loving sensation, enough to make one mad. Men often use other body parts such as muscles.
6) Lying
When men lie, their body language appears relaxed. Women, on the other hand, pretend to look busy when they lie.
7) Head position (positive situation)
In case of a positive atmosphere of the conversation, women tend to turn towards the speaker, while men turn their head towards the side.
8) Eye contact
Both men and women look directly into the eyes of their interest while having a conversation. However, men may move their eyes indicating their nervousness, while women, many a times, shy off and turn aside their head.
9) Expression of feelings
Women are more likely to display progressive behavior, show emotions and let their feelings come through. Conversely, men generally display behaviors of power, dominance and assertiveness.
10)Tossing Hair
Since ages, long, flowing hair has been a sign of femininity, sexuality, and child bearing ability. As such, tossing or flicking hair is a common and favorite flirting gesture for women. Mine while normally men would not act this way.

The Psychology of Fear
The most criminal gang in latin america is called by many different ways like the MS, M16 or the mara Salvatrucha. After the central american civil wars over the 1980's Salvador Immigrants created the MS in LA. The gangs protect salvador immigrants from other gangs because they are better and stonger gangs in the city, after being deported many mara Salvatrucha went to prison. The gangs use many body signals to communcate between them. Some of the signals they use are the gang signals specially hand signs. But the one they use the most is the devil head which they made a form of the letter M but upside down. They use lot of tattoos to cover themselves also to identify them to see which are their member of their gang. The devil Horns, salvatrucha and MS are the common markings and also they use many other symbols. When they have a new member to the gang they have to make this really harmfull bet that is that for 13 seconds they are going to get all beaten up by many others. If they dont resist they dont enter to the gang but if they do, they are now members of the gang. Central America's greatest problem has become the Salvatrucha. Thery made many violent things to citizens or to other gansg in which death also comes, many of them die. They also made many violent acts against the governement. In Honduras there happen to be a case in which Ricardo Maduro's son was kidnapped and later killed by the MS-13 gang members. After this, the members of the gang sent a letter saying that they will kill many others and that they were going to kill police officers and many others so now they were alarmed.
The MS also have internal mistakes like if they go made between them or they got into a fight they may died. Many of the gang members know that they need to be fully loyal, not to betray others and not to leave the gang if not the punishment is to take their lives.
This gang memnbers own respect by following the rules. also they own respect from others because people are really scared of them since they know what they are capable of so now they dont mess with them.

Situational Violence
The world health organization describe violence as the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation. Violence is a common reaction of people or animals living in a community. In fact through history many scientists and psychologists, such as Charles Darwin, support the idea that only the strongest ones will survive. For surviving and being able to reproduce animals have to adapt to their environment and fight for food and territory. But sometimes even humans act instinctually when the social conditions of their environment require it.
The socialization factors of violence include poverty, exposure to violence through media, and peer influence. Often a fear of violence is created which can result in being more likely to use violence in a given situation. As well, people who live in countries which are at war are more likely to be violent towards each other. When there is not enough money for buying food, o for buying a medicine for your sick son, or also when your country is in war or since childhood you were raised with violent principles, it would be normal that you act in a violent way.
Socialization causes of violence are important for understanding the behavior of many people that desperately have to act in that way for surviving. Also, the media and war situations indirectly enter to your brain and make you act in that certain way. Studying the socialization causes of violence help to understand why sometimes people act that way, and that the solution for this could be in our hands.

Depression
Environmental causes of depression
Abuse. Past physical, sexual, or emotional abuse can cause depression later in life.
Certain medications. For example, some drugs used to treat high blood pressure, such as beta-blockers or reserpine, can increase your risk of depression.
Conflict. Depression may result from personal conflicts or disputes with family members or friends.
Death or a loss. Sadness or grief from the death or loss of a loved one, though natural, can also increase the risk of depression.
Genetics. A family history of depression may increase the risk. It's thought that depression is passed genetically from one generation to the next. The exact way this happens, though, is not known.
Major events. Even good events such as starting a new job, graduating, or getting married can lead to depression. So can moving, losing a job or income, getting divorced, or retiring.
Other personal problems. Problems such as social isolation due to other mental illnesses or being cast out of a family or social group can lead to depression.
Serious illnesses. Sometimes depression co-exists with a major illness or is a reaction to the illness.
Substance abuse. Nearly 30% of people with substance abuse problems also have major or clinical depression.

Biological Causes of Depression
when the changes on the brain occur biological causes happens such as important levels on the hormones. what you inherit from your parents are the genetic causes. if one of the parents, either the mom or the dad has depression then that kid may have the possibility to have it to.
Cognitive Causes of depression
Aaron T. Beck, who developed the theory behind Cognitive theory of depression, proposes that depression results of the tendency to view oneself, ones world and ones future in a negative manner. This view is formally called the ‘negative triad’. It is theorized that images and thoughts influence emotions and behaviors and that ones behavior is influenced by the ‘negative triad’. This negative view is usually a distortion of reality. The person develops a system of viewing the self, the world and the future which is global, rigid and negative. These schemes or system errors develop and are learned through relationships, unfavorable life situations often in childhood and the formative years. When the adult re-experiences similar events, these learned silent assumptions resurface.

Cognitive Triad
Beck's cognitive triad is a triad of types of negative thought present in depression proposed by Aaron Beck in 1976. The triad forms part of his Cognitive Theory Of Depression.
The triad involves negative thoughts about:
The self The world/environment and
The future
