Teens may feel pressured by their friends to try drugs, they may have easy access to drugs, they may use drugs to rebel against their family or society, or they may take an illegal drug because they are curious about it or the pleasure that it gives…

    The forces that contributed to the cultural makeup of early civilization varied amongst different cultures. Some of the forces that contributed to the makeup of early civilization would be geographical locations, demographic, agriculture, religion, culture/tradition, and the availability of natural resources. Civilizations develop when the environment of a region can support a large and productive population (Sayre, 2012 p. 2). For example, geography mainly contributed because it was a determining factor in what the culture would do such as farming and hunting for means of survival. But also in combination with this; religion would be one the most powerful contributor in early civilization, since it would determine on how the culture would live in specific geographical locations.…
