Erosion of Social Values and Moral Norms

The widespread use of drugs leads to the erosion of social values and moral norms. Especially young people see substance use as a form of freedom or rebellion, which further deepens the gap between generations and damages social unity.

The Relationship between Substance Use and Crime

Substance addiction drags individuals into illegal activities. Financial difficulties and the physical need created by addiction cause individuals to commit crimes such as theft and fraud. At the same time, since the sale and distribution of drugs is under the control of criminal organizations, this situation leads to the emergence of undesirable incidents of violence and conflicts in the social order.

Individuals struggling with addiction may be excluded and stigmatized by society. This stigma prevents addicted individuals from seeking treatment and alienates them from social support systems.

Drug addiction threatens the lives of humanity, harms their health and unfortunately costs the lives of millions of people. This situation erodes the sacred bonds of families and the social structure of societies.

Efforts to prevent drug use and raise awareness on this issue should be a devoted and planned action. In this struggle, every earthling should be informed about the harms of drug use in their own society and sphere of influence and support those struggling with addiction.

Religious authorities can play an important role in the fight against drug addiction, thanks to their power to shape societies and determine moral values. By drawing attention to the destructive effects of harmful substances on individuals and society and by raising awareness, they can steer people away from these bad habits. Their mission is to guide people to the truth and raise awareness. However, for religious authorities to be effective in this struggle, the support of societies and states is necessary. By acting together, they can be more effective in preventing drug use and addiction. However, each of us, not just the clergy, has a responsibility in this fight.

Academic circles and scientists can also play an important role in this struggle. By sharing information, producing solutions and developing new strategies, the academic world can continue the fight against drug addiction in a more conscious and effective way.

Education is a key element in the fight against drug addiction. Our education systems must ensure that individuals are informed about the harms of drugs and can avoid this danger. Teachers and educators can help young people become more resistant to drugs by ensuring they understand the risks of drugs and the consequences of addiction. Educational institutions need to provide students with information about healthy lifestyles and encourage them to make positive life choices. This is important for the overall health and well-being of individuals and communities. In this context, education is among the most effective tools in preventing drug use and addiction.

State administrations and administrators should also produce effective policies on preventing drug use and raising awareness on this issue, and should especially focus on education and awareness raising activities to prevent young generations from being dragged into these bad habits. The steps they will take in this regard are of critical importance in protecting the general health of the society and preventing drug use. has.

As children of Adam and Eve, we have a responsibility to confront this problem, seek solutions and raise awareness about it. We must feel in our hearts the pain of people suffering from this situation in every corner of the world, and work to make this beautiful planet a livable, healthy and peaceful place. This allows us to build a safer, healthier and more peaceful world for both today’s societies and future generations.
