3. After sharing his daughter’s history with drugs and her completing a drug program, Bush encourages the expansion of programs dedicated to ending drug abuse.
4. Personal stories about addiction people shared with him; Christie would rather use treatment instead of turning towards incarceration
5. Yes, because the government has most control on which state legalize certain drugs and the government also has the responsibility to keep doctor offices in check to make sure doctors aren’t incorrectly prescribing medication. Not necessarily. These candidates are mostly speaking of the importance of programs that are dedicated to those who are addicted to drugs and are seeking help.
6. I think any kind of addiction can be unhealthy because too much of one thing can have negative outcomes and an individual can develop an unhealthy dependence. An addiction can be both a weakness or a “moral failing”. Certain experiences in life can cause someone to start to depend on something to the point that without it, they are weak and incomplete. On the show My Strange Addiction, many of the people have trouble quitting their addiction because they physically cannot restrain themselves therefore they are weak. Addictions that are considered “moral failings” can be where someone turns to drugs simply because no one was there to tell them what is right or wrong. I remember on one episode of Dr. Phil, a father started doing drugs with his daughter when she was about thirteen years old. A “moral failing” addiction is only considered that by people who were taught that to be wrong.

4.Kasichs view changed when he became Governor of Ohio because people have shared their stories. Christie says being Governor of new Jersey has changed his view.
5.Yes, it is right. Something needs to happen to show people how crazy it is. yes, that is what they are doing.
6.I have a lot of family who have addictions from alcohol to Cocaine, so obviously I feel very strongly about this. I think the first time you try your addiction that is a "moral failing" but every time after that is a weakness and we all have them.

3. Bush is telling people to not give up because they have a purpose and that everyone has potential.
4. His view changed because he heard other people's experiences. Chris Christie stated that this should be treated differently and should be seen as a moral failing.
5. Yes, I do think drug addiction should be politicized because it is a significant problem. Drug addiction has the potential to ruin ones life, even kill due to overdose. I do think these candidates are politicizing the issue because they are putting it into perspective to various people in a political way.
6. I think addiction should be seen as a real problem, more than others, but I believe it should be something people think about if it is harmful. I don't think addiction should be considered a moral failing because the person could stop the addiction if they really want to. Some addictions are worse than others, but it should be a weakness, not a moral failing.

3. Drug addiction is not a moral failing or something to be ashamed of, it is like any other disease and should be treated accordingly without bias or judgement.
4. John Kasich has heard peoples' personal accounts on the experiences and feels like now he has his own connection through learning from others experiences. Chris Christie thinks that as long as people view drug use as a failure then no one will treat it like another disease.
5. I think to a certain extent drug use is relevant to their campaign, but they should not be using someones personal experiences, and especially your own daughters, to draw in the vote of someone.
6. I think addictions are in fact something that once you are addicted you can't control, there are many instances where people that are very good people are addicted and come to the point where they cant stop. I think addiction is not a moral failing or weakness, but I do think that if someone really has the drive and need to stop, they can, with help from people who know addictions.

2. The public
3. Bush is encouraging America to move away from the idea that the issue of drug addictions is a problem that can’t be solved. He also wants to remove the shame associated with the issue in order to get those with addictions the help they need.
4. Kaisch claimed that hearing other’s personal stories about addiction has helped him understand the issue more deeply. Christie focuses on treatment over incarceration for non-violent offenders.
5. The candidates are politicizing this issue, and their doing so is beneficial for America. This issue is one of importance and its proper recognition as such has long since been overdue. Drug addictions tend to be the root of many other problems, but if people fail to acknowledge the issue, it can’t be solved.
6. I’d like to be able to say that I wholeheartedly believe that addictions don’t equate to weaknesses, but I can’t help but to be affected by the stigma of the issue. Yes, I do believe that those with addictions should and can be treated, but their circumstances were brought on by their own poor decisions.

3. People need to be able to talk about the issue of addiction without all the misconceptions and bad things associated with it.
4. John Kasich said that people telling him their story changed his viewpoint. Chris Christie said that his treatment for incarceration changed his view point.
5. Yes, this is what the politicians are doing and I believe that it is a good idea do that the voters can see what their viewpoint on it I. We don't want a president who thinks drugs are good, then we know that the U.S. is not the U.S. that it used to be.
6. My opinion is that an addiction gives you a chance to grow stronger and to better learn your limits. An addiction should have never been started but once you start you need to recognize that you have a problem before you can overcome the addiction. An addiction shows that you were stupid to start, but when you recognize that you need help you are being strong.

3.bush feels that the importance of prevention and creating recovery programs to help you or your loved ones to get help is high as ever.
4. people shared their personal stories about addiction in his tenure as Ohio's governor. instead of looking at drug addiction as a moral failing, we should view it as treating a disease that can be cured.
5.i think it isn't correct to politicize about the issue due to common knowledge on politics, they don't care about anything but votes and ratings, this is exactly what they are doing and I guarantee you wont see another awareness campaign for drug addiction after the voting or ratings because they could care less.
6.an addiction in everyway a moral failing. the common fact that every person with a brain knows that drugs are bad. especially when some people experience it secondhand and continue to follow that path of destruction. the only way to fix this common problem is to quit babying druggies and tell them they should take responsibility. if we quit helping druggies there will be less druggies because they then will have no fallback once things go south.

2. Jeb Bush is talking to the people at the New Hampshire Forum on Addiction and the Heroin Epidemic.
3. Bush thinks we should be able to talk about drug addiction without having our minds go to all the disgrace placed upon people with a drug addiction. The process of dealing with a family member who is going through addiction is hard and it is something that Bush wishes to share with everyone because he wants people with drug addictions to get help.
4. Kasich claimed that the stories he heard along the way of his campaign is what changed his view on drugs. Christie says her view was changed by people calling drug addiction a “moral failing”
5. I think that these candidates are politicalizing drug addictions and I think that can be good and bad. It can be good because it raises awareness for the disease but bad because in the end people need help and sitting there having a debate about it isn’t going to do anything unless they take actual action.
6. I think that people with addiction need help but only if they’re willing. If the person isn’t willing to try it’s not going to work and that is just going to waste money. I think addiction is a weakness because people can be addicted to more things besides just drugs and some of the things people become addicted to start as an innocent thing that they didn’t realize was going to turn bad, also I think that it is a weakness because addiction can be embracing and not everyone is willing to admit they have a problem and admitting it can be hard.

4. John Kasich claimed that talking to people who have struggled with addiction changed his view on drug addiction. This article doesn't disclose how Chris Christie changed his view.
5. I do think that it is correct. In my opinion, that is what these candidates are doing.
6. In my opinion, addiction can have both a positive or negative affect. The bad kind of addiction, such as drug addiction, is in my opinion a weakness. If you know the affects that drugs can have on you and you still choose to try them, that is entirely your fault.

5. Yes, if it makes people aware and are able to discuss the issue. Although they are sharing their stories with others, I think they are also using it to their advantage to gain support in the presidential election.
6. A person with any type of addiction has the right to seek treatment. No, because the most upstanding individual can succumb to addiction whether it be drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc.

3. Jeb Bush is basically saying it’s not fun seeing loved one in pain over drugs and we should do whatever necessary to help them.
4. John Kasich believes that no human being is too far gone for help, and we all have a god given purpose to fulfill. Chris Christie says that our society believes it to be a moral failure to be addicted.
5. I think it is a good idea or at least an okay one to politicize them because it is only helping people with drug addiction and letting them know they are not alone, because there is help for them.
6. I believe that addictions of any kind are obviously bad but there is help out there for you. I would consider it a weakness but not necessarily a moral failure because you might not even have any morals on them or just accidentally gotten your self hooked on something, not knowing what you were getting into.

4.John Kasich says that hearing people share their addiction stories during his tenure as Governor changed his view on addiction. “Chris Christie, meanwhile, pointed to his record as governor of New Jersey focusing on treatment over incarceration for non-violent offenders. He said it is incumbent upon the country's next president to use the bully pulpit to address drug addiction in a meaningful way.”
5.I think they use it for attention. I think that they are politicizing the issue, and I don’t think that it is right. I believe that is something that should be addressed medically, not politically. They aren’t doctors, they just want your vote.
6.I agree that drug addiction, or any addiction is a curable disease, not something that is a weakness or a “moral failing.” I think it is one tiny mistake (like all humans make) that leads to something that can be so much bigger, and could cost you your life. I believe that it can happen to anyone, and that even those who are addicted still have so much potential to be who God created them to be. Overcoming addiction is a great story, and example of bravery and strength to set for others, and I believe anyone has the power to do it.

3) Jeb Bush experienced what a lot of other people in the world go through by having a child with addiction problems and that it is a truly horrible sensation causing a lot of parents to feel helpless.
4) Kasich said he’s come to understand the issue more deeply during his experience as the governor of Ohio as people shared their personal stories about addiction. Chris Christie, meanwhile, pointed to his record as governor of New Jersey focusing on treatment over incarceration for non-violent offenders.
5) Yes, as long as the candidates are willing to do something about it. Yes, because they are using drug addiction to help boost their ratings.
6) Addiction is a serious matter and people need to understand that it is a hard battle to fight especially if you are doing it alone. It depends on the addiction but it is more likely both because pain killer addicts usually start taking the medicine to help cure pain and they quickly find that they cannot function without them. Unless you walk in someone else’s shoes and know what they are going through then people cannot really judge the situation.

3.People should stop taking drugs, because it affects the people around in a major way. No one’s alone in this battle of drugs, and addiction many people out there have felt the exact same way seeing someone you love use drugs and get addicted to it. We should be able to address this issue without all of the problems that come with it.
4. Kasich now deeply understands this issue that we have with drugs and addiction, and before he had no addiction or clue about the issue. Christie said that the next president should not address the issue in a bully kind of way and should instead focus on treatments in a nicer way.
5. Yes, because mostly everyone in the world has been addicted or has/had a loved one addicted to drug use so they are addressing an issue that the crowd is very familiar with and is very sympathetic towards.
6. It’s very easy to get addicted to something, and I know some people that are addicted to some things so I understand the issue. Any kind of addiction is a weakness that they develop that they can’t control, and it’s a problem that they would need to fix before it can really get out of hand.

4.)John Kasich said that hearing the goveners share their personal stories. Chris Christine changed after focusing on treatment for non-violent offender.
5.) I don't think drug addiction should be a part of politics which is what these canadidts are doing. Although drug addiction is not something to ignore and people who need help with addictions should get it I don't think it is someone who is in poitics job to handle. When I am old enough to vote I will vote for someone who focus on political problems. It isn't a bad thing he wants to help but it is not something that he should focus on.
6.) Addictions can have very severe consequences especially drug addictions. I think an addictions is a moral failing. Most of the time when someone starts something bad they don't plan on getting addicted. Even something not health related such as being addicted to your cell phone can happen but the moment someone gets a phone they don't say "I hope I get addicted to my phone." Same for drugs, no one plans on getting addicted. The best way to prevent addictions is to never start it. If an alcoholic never had drank alcohol they wouldn't be an alcoholic. Same thing goes for drugs. Drugs are obviously morally wrong, before someone abuses a drug they no it is not good and that there is a lot of consequences to go along with it.

6. I think addictions are formed when someone tries to replace something, with what they are addicted to. I also think that anyone can overcome anything, and something that would help is a positive environment around that person. In my opinion, some addictions are weaknesses. Others however are not because the person does not care and is not willing to change their ways and behaviors.

4. The personal stories he heard when he was governor of Ohio and Chris Christie had looked upon his time as New Jersey's governor and his enlightened view of drugs as a disease,not a moral failing.
5. The issue of drugs is serious and out there in the open, but nothing makes people rally up and join in a cause than politics. The candidates aren't being political, they're just trying to help a local cause.
6. Addiction in my opinion not a disease or a weakness, it is a corrupted state of mind. Any addiction from drug to video games might effect your physical health, but in the end, all of it is mental. Supporting my thoughts, addictions always start out with a little taste, at that moment the barrier in your brain is widely cracked and if the right decision isn't made, then the barrier will completely break. But hey, that's just me.

6) Some people fall into a hole or make one wrong choice and it all goes downhill. People should not be looked down upon because they became addicted to drugs or anything else.

6.Addiction, in my opinion, is a mixture of both. Humans are naturally curious and sometimes our curiosity gets the better of us. I find that a natural weakness. When we don't recognize our addiction is bad and that we need to stop, then its a moral failing.

5. I think that drug use is a very important issue that needs to be discussed, especially in politics because politicians have the power to start programs and reforms for drug rehabilitation. I do think they are politicizing drugs by discussing it during political campaigns.
6. I believe that resisting temptation of any kind is a moral decision, but it is also very hard to resist mind-altering substances. While it is a small failing of morality, it is also a disease in the sense that it takes control of your body. The stigma needs to be taken away from these issues for we all fail daily at many things, and these people need our help fighting the battle against addiction.

ReplyDelete1. The two main candidates are Carly Fiorina and Jeb Bush.
2. Jeb Bush is speaking to the New Hampshire Forum on Addiction and Heroin Epidemic.
3. Bush says we need to be able to talk about drug addiction without the associated stigma of it being a moral failing. He wants to expand drug court programs.
4. John Kasich changed his views after listening to personal stories of drug addiction. Chris Christie focused on treatment over incarceration while governor of New Jersey.
5. Yes, these candidates are politicizing drug addiction, but I think it is okay because attention needs to be brought to it. It is a huge problem in America.
6.If you have an addiction, you need to try to break away from it. I think addiction is a moral failing because America's morals have fallen. If you're a Christian, you are supposed to live by the Bible. As a Christian, you're taught to stay away from drugs.

3. The shame that has always been placed on drug addiction needs to be forgotten. [Jeb Bush] understands the pain of caring for someone who has lost themselves to an addiction and that is an experience that [he] shares with many.
4. John Kaisch says that during the time he spent as Ohio’s governor, people have told him of their addiction stories and, through that, he has come to understand the issue better. Chris Christie referred back to his time as governor of New Jersey to remind the people that he believes non-violent offenders should be treated instead of taken to jail.
5. I think it is good to spread awareness, and that could mean through politics or it could be through something else. However, it should not be used as an easy boost to a candidate’s campaign, and I believe that is what some of these candidates are trying to do. Yes, they are politicizing it.
6. Addictions are unhealthy for anyone, and they can ruin many lives. However, people who have addictions should not be considered any less than anyone else. For the most part, addictions occur because someone lacks a certain sensation (fun, happiness, relaxation, etc.) or has reached a very low point in their life. Almost everyone in the world has reached that point or lacked a certain sensation, and it’s totally normal. Addictions begin when a person gets to that point but is so desperate to get back up that they begin to distract themselves with one thing, over and over. Having said that, people with addictions have not failed moral principles.

2. He is speaking to people who only look down on drug addicts instead of trying to help them.
3. Bush is saying they should not look down on drug addicts and should help them because he knows what it is like because his daughter struggled with drugs.
4. Kasich says that listening to people tell him their story on their struggles with drugs changed his view. Christie talks about how he wanted to help incarcerated non-violent offenders.
5. I do not think it is correct. I think this is what these candidates are doing.
6. I think most addictions are bad and can consume you. I think addictions are a weakness because they can make you focus on less important things but you can still overcome the addiction.

5. I think it is correct to politicize it because maybe the politicians can help stop drug addiction and yes.
6. Most addictions are weaknesses because people should be strong enough to stand against addiction and should not have started what their addicted to in the first place.

3. That we should talk about addictions and help people with addictions without judgement.
4. John from stories he had heard and Chris how people talked about moral failing.
5. No it is not because it has nothing to do with politics; Yes they kinda are an di feel like they are doing it to get more supporters.
6. Addictions are terrible some can be as mild as addicted to skittles and can be as major as heroin. They are easy to start and hard to quit. Addiction can lead to bad things happening just so you can suppress the craving. Even though someone has an addiction to something doesn’t make them a bad person it is what they do to get their fix that can make them bad. I don’t think it is necessarily a weakness and it is only a moral failing if it goes against the morals you have for yourself. I don’t think addictions are good and I am in no way saying I am a supporter of them, but people most of the time have a reason as to why they are addicted. Yes, some are addicted because they think it is cool or fun. Other people it is their way out of their reality, helps them relieve stress, and just forget about things for a while, but there are alternative ways to do this that are less life changing and dangerous and it’s different for everyone.

4. He's never had to deal with it but no matter how deep you are you can always climb out of it; He said in response to her statement, it's incumbent upon the country's next president to use the bully pulpit to address drug addiction in a meaningful way
5. Yes, so many people go through with this problem and it needs to be addressed more; Yes, in their state atleast.
6. Since I've had a personal experience with this kind of stuff, I know how hard it can really be and how sometimes you don't really know how deep you really are; Yes, it's your weakness, it's something that if you're addicted, then you have to do it every single day no matter the consequence.

3.He can feel the same way someone else feel when some family member has a drug addiction because he has been down that road.
4.the peoples personal stories about addiction; treatment over incarceration for non-violent offenders
5.I don't think its right to politicize the issue of drug addiction because some people don't want to be out in the open about having a drug addiction but the candidates wasn't trying to do it like that they wanted people to share their stories because they want to know how they change the way they are living without using drugs.
6.I think addiction is a stress reliever for some people but they also might want to do it because it is fun. We really don't know why people really do drugs. We just know they do drugs by the way are eyes see. A addiction is both a weakness and a moral failing. It is because they want to do it everyday and by doing that they get weak and sick and start having diseases. It is also a moral failing because it brings down their morality and they always stay inside and be always from people. They isolate themselves which changes the way they live and act.

3. He is calling on the people as a whole to be more open with the topic of drug addiction instead of just playing up the fact that its horrible and anyone who does drugs is horrible too.
4. Kasich claimshis opinion was changed by the personal stories he was told as the governor of Ohio. Chris Christie refers to his policy as New Jersey governor which was treatment over incarceration.
5. Drug addiction is, quite sadly, a fairly common thing. I think politics can help with this issue in the legal system, but not much else. I don't think there are any benefits to politicizing drug addiction. Yes, that is what these candidates are doing.
6. Addiction is a weakness, but we all have weaknesses in our life.

4. People shared their personal addiction stories to him. Christie thinks you should focus more on treating those instead of punishing them.
5. I do not believe it is okay. The candidates are asking to stop politicizing the issue.

4. When john was the governor of Ohio and people shared their personal stories with him. Since Chris Christie is New Jersey’s Governor, He believes that the treatment should be addressed medically.
5. Yes, and no the candidates are giving their point of view on the situation. And sharing stories to help persuade people not to go down the wrong rode.
6. Sometimes you can have a addiction to something other than drugs, anf that’s okay. Because, its good that some people are very passionate about stuff, but too much of it can cause it to run your life.

3. Bush is calling for a deeper discussion about drug addiction, not as a moral fail but as a disease that can be cured.
4. Kasich has come to understand the issue more deeply during his tenure as governor of Ohio as people shared their personal stories about addiction. Christie pointed to his record as governor of New Jersey focusing on treatment over incarceration for non-violent offenders
5. No, I think drug addiction is a medical issue, not a political one. These candidates are bringing up an issue that has nothing to do with their candidacy.
6. I think addiction of any kind is a weakness. All addictions are the same the way I see it, whether its drug addiction or sweets, they are both same principle. It does not make it right to do drugs but i think anyone can change.

3: It is hard to watch a loved one gain this addiction and struggle with getting rid of it.
4: People shared their personal addiction stories with him. He had to focus on treatment for incarceration for non-violent offenders.
5: Yes because these drugs are harming people, and these candidates are doing that by trying to make a change in society.
6: Most addictions are bad. Not all addictions make you weaker though. Some of the addictions people have are to work out or read and those kind are helpful. They make you better. Other addictions, like drugs, can cause you to go insane with out it. Just because you are addicted to something doesn't mean you are outing it before you health.

3. He wants to end the stigma of drug addiction.
4. He understands the issue but not as deeply as Jeb Bush since he has had an actual experience with this topic.
5. Yes, I think it is correct to politicize the issue of drug addiction, because there are people everywhere struggling with the addiction, and as a candidate you should talk about it and attempt to bring awareness to the world-wide issue.
6. Sadly, Some people use drugs as an outlet, or something to escape. As sad as that is, people are addicted even when the bad things are out of there lives. It is sad but, those people need every help they can get. We should try to put a stop to it. However, people who are addicted need to decide if they need help on their own, not by force.

ReplyDelete1. Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina have both been effected. Jeb's daughter had a problem with drugs and Fiorina's step daughter died from a drug overdose.
2. He is directly talking to the crowd at the New Hampshire Forum but is addressing the whole nation.
3. Bush is saying that he believes drug addiction should be treated more so as purely an addiction that anything. Instead of just incarcerating someone, people should actually try to help.
4. Kasich claims that hearing others story on drug addiction allowed him to get a better understanding of the true problem. Chris Christie was the governor of New Jersey and talked about some of the same issues.
5. Politicizing drug addiction isn’t horrible in all of its entirety. It could easily be abused, but solely based on this opinion or conflict it could peak other's interest in this candidate, but at the same time this a very controversial subject that causes many deaths. If these deaths could be avoided or decreased in the slightest, it is a good thing.
6. Addiction is a sinister balance of both moral failing and weakness. Every person has moral failings, lapses in judgement, and mistakes. Society chooses certain “moral failings” to be worse than others. Addiction is a disease in and of itself that isn’t easily helped or solved. It takes lives everyday and tears families apart like many other diseases.

5. No it isn't correct because it is there fault they did drugs. Yes I think there trying to politicize it though.
6. If you get addicted to something bad, it's simply your fault and your doing. It is definitely a failure because it's hard to get out of something you brought yourself into.

4.)Ohio Gov. John Kasich said that him being the governor changed his view on drug addiction because people tell their addiction stories to him, Chris Christie said that while he was governor for New Jersey said that since they are focused on treatment over incarceration for non-violent addicts is what changed his mind.
5.)These candidates are politicizing drug addiction but I believe the way they are doing it is fine and the world does need to know about drug addiction because it could stop someone from possibly doing drugs in the future.
6.)Addiction to something harmful is not good and I believe that in some ways it could be a moral failing. Sometimes people are brought up in a bad situation and they are almost forced to have a certain addiction and it’s their fault but not fully theirs. I believe that someone who has an addiction can change and get help although it may be hard it is what they have to do.

4. Kaisch shares that his views on drug addiction were changed when he heard people who have dealt with the addiction's stories. Christie says he wants to help the non-violent offenders.
5. The candidates are bringing more attention to drug addictions and people who struggle very greatly with them, so that they can get help and save lives.
6. Addictions are temptations, temptations are peoples weaknesses therefore making one weak to a certain thing. All drug addicts have the same temptations of drugs just not the same weakness when it comes to being around a certain drug.
