Addiction
Addiction is a great, compulsive, and uncontrollable interest in a thing or action, or a strong desire to have something. Other sources defined it as an enslavement to a behavior, practice, or action that creates a habit either physically or psychologically. Addiction to something makes an individual abnormally dependent on it to such an extent that he/she cannot live without it. In an attempt to shun life stressors and other daily routines through the use of drugs and other activities, one can get so addicted to them that he/she will no longer be able to lead a normal life without them. An accurate definition of addiction, however, is dependent on both, the person asking the question and common beliefs and norms. The current essay seeks to discuss the brunt of addiction to the society, explaining why the society puts up with the impact of addiction.
