Reasons for the decline in the effectiveness of social stigma and its impact on the increase in drug use: An analytical study in the sociology of deviance

Author(s): Dr. Shafeq Ibrahem Salih Aljoubory and Dr. Nadia Sabah Mahmood Al-Kababchy
Abstract:
This analytical study explores the decline in the effectiveness of social stigma and its impact on the increase in drug use. Utilizing qualitative social research methods, the study delves into the evolving relationship between societal norms, stigma, and deviant behaviors. Various social, economic, political, and cultural factors are examined to understand how shifts in social evaluation criteria, urban expansion, economic deprivation, and globalization have contributed to the weakening of social stigma. The research highlights the role of social media and changing social relationships in diminishing the traditional mechanisms of social control, leading to an increase in drug use. By investigating these factors, the study underscores the complexities of deviant behavior in modern society and the need for a multifaceted approach to address these challenges.
