MY OWN MAP
For our final assignment, we were asked to attend one of the Jane’s walks and design our own map that relates to our system, similar to the Jane’s walk. The system that I’ve been discovering throughout this semester is the drug rehabilitation system, I’ve was first interested in this topic because drug is something ‘new’ to me after I came to NYC. I would see people doing weeds on the street all the time, I feel like drugs is dominating most of our lives and it is affecting crime rate too as most crimes are done when individuals are high, therefore I thought that there must be a system to control the situation.
In my opinion, Drug abuse is a really serious issue as it not only affect drug abuser’s health (both mentally and physically), it also affects individuals around the person who does drugs and even our society. Major problems led by drug abuse that affects other people are domestic abuse, negative influence on children and financial issues.
It is very challenging to make someone to stop taking drugs, therefore, I created this map to raise awareness of dangers of drug abuse. I created activities that mimics the short term effects of drugs, these activities are quite uncomfortable, especially the ecstasy one, hoping that individuals could realize that doing drug doesn’t actually feel that pleasuring, so that people who tried my map could stay away from drugs.
