Do you think Human Traffic encourges or glorfies drug use?
Personally i believe that Human Traffic does glorfir drug use and people will absorb and copy what they are veiwing on the film. This is know as the Hypordermic Syringe model.
The Hypodermic syringe model is a theory which is bacically injecting you with violence or anitsocial behaviour within films, TV, Games and even music lyrics. I believe that is a young child or adult is watching human traffic they are more likely to think that the behaviour is acceptable. Another example ofthe Hypodermic syringe model would be the Jamie Bulger case. The Kamie Bulger case involed a 2 year old boy being abducted, attaked then murdered. Many sociologists and people within the medai said it was down to the 2 boys watching Child play 3.

However not everyone will look at Human Traffic and say it is glorifing and encourging drugs as they may see the negative side of the drug use. For example - When the young adults are taking drugs later after they have taken them they have a come down. With the audience viewing the come down they will see the negative affect adn relises that it is not ideal to take drugs. Also the close up at the beggining of all the main characters - Jip Tell use he view and says he cant get it up ,if a male was watching this he would see an extremly negative side as his sex life would be affected.

Well done, Toni. Think of a specific example in Human Traffic that glorifies drug use, and think of one that does not.
