Document Summary
C107, psych 177d, & sociol 156 winter 2017 midterm 2 review sheet. Some key questions: explain the frame shift that occurred around marijuana in the 1960s. Once a particular drug spread to middle class, police start to say and consider that users lead to a change in the law. Frame shift: vietnam, challenge to authority, counter culture, scholars in university saying we should change law. Once it moved out to a lot of people including college students. The same thing as social threat (but not my son) the frame is to how we view something, a feature of people using it. Further, how does this impact support for decriminalization or criminalization: in the 1970s, drugs were not seen as one of the major problems facing the united states, however; by 1989 drugs were seen as the number one problem. Drugs equal crack, your anti-establishment, you will become a loser.
