SMART PHONE

W o m a n. Hey, you look really unhappy. What’s going on? Well, tell me, but just quickly. I hurry.

Y o u n g M a n. No, wait. You see, my parents really don’t love me.

W o m a n. What do you mean? When I met them last week, they seemed really caring.

Y o u n g M a n. Uh, you don’t understand! You see, I want a new smart phone… I mean, I need one, and my parents won’t buy me a new one!

W o m a n. Excuse me, but don’t you already have an iPhone?

Y o u n g M a n. Ma’am, yeah, but it’s three months old, and it has a small scratch on it.

W o m a n. Where? Let me see. I don’t see a scratch.

Y o u n g M a n. Look, look right here! That! Do you see it?

W o m a n. It’s just a speck of dust.

Y o u n g M a n. Anyway. And my other phone…

W o m a n. Do you have two phones?

Y o u n g M a n. That’s beside the point.

W o m a n. So, so, did your parents give you a reason for not buying you a new phone?

Y o u n g M a n. Not a good one. Only something about being self-reliant and not being so entitled, or something like that. And now they want me to work… on the neighbour’s farm to pay for it. It’s not fair.

W o m a n. Hey, good idea! I think I know the problem. Take a look in the mirror. You’ll see both, the problem and the solution.

Y o u n g M a n. Are you kidding me?

ADDICTION MAY BE IN OUR GENES

Scientists have discovered that addictions may be hereditary. A team from Britain’s University of Cambridge found that siblings of drug addicts share the same brain abnormalities as their drug-using brothers and sisters. The research team said these abnormal brain structures are linked to poor self-control and drug dependence. The researchers suggest that addiction is in some ways a “disorder of the brain”. This may provide important new ways into helping people with problems of self-control when it comes to addictions. The study sought to find out if drugs changed the “wiring” of the brain or whether the brains of drug addicts were wired differently from birth.

Lead researcher Dr Karen Ersche told the BBC: “It has long been known that not everyone who takes drugs becomes addicted”. She continued: “It shows that drug addiction is not a choice of lifestyle, it is a disorder of the brain and we need to recognise this. These brothers and sisters who don’t have addiction problems, what they can tell us is how they overcome these problems, how they manage self-control in their daily life”. Dr Ersche and her colleagues studied 50 pairs of siblings — one with a history of drug addiction and one with no experience of taking drugs. She compared these with 50 healthy people. She concluded: “We need to find out how these nonaddicted siblings were able to resist using drugs”.
