I. A. Describe the issue in the social sciences that you have selected to investigate. Why is this issue significant?
addiction are the social science topic that I selected to investigate. Many elements, including one's mental health, play a role in a teen's decision to get addicted to drugs. A person may choose to use drugs for the first time to relieve the agony of depression, or they may be persuaded to try drugs by an acquaintance at a club. Many young people enjoy partying and are always searching for a bit of fun. They go to nightclubs and other gatherings where drugs are known to be present. The younger generation is more liberated than previous generations, with no weight weighing them down. One problem with addiction is that it may be caused by a variety of factors, including group pressure, psychological health, and lack of availability.

B. Describe at least three social science resources that you could use to investigate the issue you selected. Your sources must be relevant to your issue and must be of an academic nature appropriate for the issue. In your description, consider questions such as: What are the similarities and differences in the content of your sources? What makes them appropriate and relevant for investigating your issue? What was your thought process when you were searching for sources? How did you make choices?
The first site I've picked is genes, stress, and dopamine in schizophrenia, which analyzes the involvement of several factors in schizophrenia development. The author examined how the development of schizophrenia influences dopamine and
offer a model of how the dopamine system may be susceptible to genes and environmental variables, which may lead to progressing
al.2fl17). It is established that dopamine and schizophrenia have a relationship, but 5 more tests and research should be done to
establish this definitively. Stress, genes and dopamine release are the variables in this trial and correlation is the research design. Also this study provides me with a lot of insight into the links between adolescents and the hereditary potential of mental illness.
In my second source, "The impacts of the fetus and children of perinatal mental illness," the goal of this article is to observe how

illness. Other investigations indicated that the longer-term effects of postnatal depression on cognitive performance were uneven. They also demonstrated a link between postnatal depressive symptoms and very modest iQ reductions at age eight years. This also provides my research on teens with mental disease with additional useful information. And that shows me why many young people are inclined to drugs and mental problems. Factors include fetuses,
motivation is to examine how the fetus is influenced by the mental health difficulties of a parent. In contrast to cross-sectional approaches,
