Alcohol Responsibility
Attitudes refer to an individual’s evaluation, either positive or negative, of a specific
Behavior or situation. (Fishbein, et al., 2001) and belief is a perception that something is right and worth being done. My perception on alcohol use is totally negative basing on what I see every day.
Alcohol drinkers experienced myriads of challenges and risks in their life as long as they use alcohol. Some of these risks include; health, accidents, social conflict, family conflicts, waste of income, loss of job, involving in risking sexual behaviors, illegal actions and even death. Personally, my attitude and the belief on the use of alcohol has been largely influenced by my own experiences, my family, the friends I walk with, my teachers, my religion that prohibits the use of substance and finally the advertisement on the media about the negative impact of using this substances.
While at Westminster College, I don’t expect anything to change my attitude and belief. Westminster College does not encourage the use of these substances. On the other hand; many of the students do not use alcohol. Furthermore, Westminster College has incorporated lessons on dangers of using drugs which include alcohol and has always organized sensitization programs for its students.so, I belief and have faith that Westminster college is supporting my decision, attitude and beliefs on the use of alcohol.
There are many ways in which alcohol is advertised and marketed. It is either true media, posters, newspapers .etc. Some of these messages come with very persuasive messages, pictures of very beautiful and almost naked women, pictures of people celebrating and others. All these messages are meant to persuade and capture the weak minds. It expresses alcohol as something you cannot do without. However, such advertisement does not affect me in any way; neither my attitude nor
