Dowdall, George W. College Drinking : Reframing a Social Problem. Westport, Conn: Praeger, 2009. Print. College drinking as a social problem -- Reframing college drinking -- The impact of college drinking -- The "dark figure" of alcohol-related campus crime : the gap between reported incidents and victimization -- Work hard, play hard : college drinking, social life, and sex -- Public alcohol policy and college drinking -- The college response : reframing prevention -- What more can colleges do? -- How to cope with college drinking : what students and parents can do.
This study goes in depth with how college drinking is a social problem and students take part in college drinking to releive stress and just to have fun. The book also shows that students are having a hard time in reframing from it. But what exactly is it that they cant reframe from. What do students find in college drinking?

The book connects and proves the point that college drinking is part of the college culture and the negative outcome to underage drinking is extremely crucial.

I do not get a strong impression that you have actually read these sources. For one thing, you misunderstand the term "reframing" as "refraining." I think that would be hard to do if you had read the source. It reminds me of Emily Litella saying "What is all this fuss I hear about the Supreme Court decision on a 'deaf' penalty? It's terrible! Deaf people have enough problems as it is!"
ReplyDeleteTry to use some time over Break to catch up on the blog posts. The point of the posts is to help you work on the project a little at a time, so that it does not become an overwhelming burden at the end of the semester. You will have greater success and less pain if you take fifteen small steps over time toward your goal than if you try to run a marathon with just a few days to go. Don't put it off.
