Almost every person I've known do drugs did them either as an escape from life or to look cool(no joke). Personally, I am not a strong believer in drug use. However, is escape from real life a bad thing? When others in society are not explicitly harmed, what is the danger in using drugs to escape from problems?Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512043086048622127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6069561931226366071.post-42969502865695686042009-04-07T13:22:00.000-07:002009-04-07T13:22:00.000-07:00I agree with what you say about Saturday Night Fev...I agree with what you say about Saturday Night Fever and realism. Without the realistic slap in the face of Tony's regular life, the movie would have lost much of its power.

It's actually kind of unique to Western culture that drugs are used solely for this purpose, instead of some religious or ritualistic experience. Do you think it is only Western society that uses drugs for escapism, or do other cultures use them to escape as well, but just put a different label on it?Julie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868591696887527145noreply@blogger.com
