Social Determinants of Health (SDH) affecting various forms of Addiction:

Poverty & Drugs: Poverty has been seen to be directly linked to addiction, mainly substance abuse. The National Bureau for Economic Research has supported this finding following its research on this particular subject. The study has even brought forward another important observation which states that poverty is not only directly related to addiction, but addiction is a cause of poverty (Yim, 2015). On one hand, when a person becomes addicted to drugs he loses his job, indulges in buying drugs and hence gets engulfed by poverty. On the other hand, poverty leads to stress and the poor people then try ...

Introduction

The religion and politics are two mutually exclusive aspects of an individual’s life are not supposed to pragmatically overlap because they control different institutions which are structurally independent of each other. However, the religious groups are generally associated with the politically secular organizations and this bivalence in their association causes the complications of religion interfering with the political regimes.

In fact, jurisdictions like Saudi Arabia in the Middle East are yet to grant women full rights and freedoms. However, this does not mean that women have always been the victims in every situation. Indeed, many situations exist that cast women as the villains in society. This ...
