Researchers have debunked the myth that extreme sportsmen and women are adrenalin junkies with a death wish. According to Professor Brymer from Leeds Beckett University, there had been a gross misunderstanding of what motivates people to take part in extreme sports. Many write it off as an activity for adrenalin junkies.

His research has shown that people who engage in extreme sports are anything but irresponsible risk-takers with a death wish. They are highly trained individuals with a deep knowledge of themselves, the activity, and the environment. They usually do the activity to have a life-enhancing experience. The experience is very hard to describe in the same way that love is hard to describe. For example, BASE jumpers talk about being able to see all the colours and nooks and crannies of the rock as they zoom past at 300km/h. Meanwhile, extreme climbers feel like they are floating and dancing with the rock.

Professor Schweitzer said understanding motivations for extreme sports was important to understand human. In fact, extreme sports participation facilitates more positive psychological experiences and expresses human values. These include humility, harmony, creativity, spirituality, and a vital sense of self.

He added that extreme sports participants found it hard to put their experiences into words. Thus, the research project had taken a new approach to understanding the data. His research team did not employ a theory-based approach which may make judgements that do not reflect the lived experience of extreme sports participants. Instead, they took a phenomenological approach. By doing so, they were able to conceptualize such experiences. They could also investigate the choices to engage in activity which may lead to death. However, such experiences have been shown to be affirmative of life and the potential for transformation. Extreme sports have the potential to induce powerful states of consciousness. ... and provide a further glimpse into what it means to be human.

According to UNODC's World Drug Report 2021, cannabis potency has guadrupled in some parts of the world over the last two decades. Meanwhile, the percentage of adolescents who perceived the drug as harmful fell by as much as 40 per cent. This perception gap prevails despite evidence that cannabis use is associated with a variety of health and other harms. This is especially among regular long-term users.

Moreover, most countries have reported a rise in the use of cannabis during the pandemic. "Lower perception of drug use risks has been linked to higher rates of drug use. The findings of UNODC's 2021 World Drug Report highlight the need to close the gap between perception and reality to educate young people and safeguard public health,” said UNODC Executive Director, Ghada Waly.

The COVID-19 crisis has pushed more than 100 million people into extreme poverty. It has greatly exacerbated unemployment and inegualities as the world lost 255 million jobs in 2020. Mental health conditions are also on the rise worldwide. These factors have the potential to encourage a rise in drug use disorders. Moreover, changes have already been observed in drug use patterns during the pandemic. This includes increases in the use of cannabis and the non-medical use of pharmaceutical sedatives. Underlying socioeconomic stressors have also likely accelerated demand for these drugs.

In parallel, the report reveals that drug traffickers have guickly recovered from initial setbacks. These initial setbacks have been caused by lockdown restrictions. The drug traffickers are operating at pre-pandemic levels once again. The rise in the use of technology and cryptocurrency payments which are used to operate outside the regular financial system drives it.

Access to drugs has also become simpler than ever with online sales. Major drug markets on the dark web are now worth some $315 million annually. Contactless drug transactions such as through the mail are also on the rise. A trend is possibly accelerated by the pandemic. Drug traffickers are now agile and adaptable in using new online platforms to sell drugs and other substances. The combination of this situation and rapid technological innovation may increase the availability of illicit drugs.

8. Which of the following best restates the sentence “This perception gap prevails despite evidence thatcannabis use is associated with a variety of health and other harms.” in paragraph  1?

(A) The perception of the danger of cannabis on a variety of health and other harms varies.

(B) There is a perception that cannabis is beneficial although it has a variety of health and other harms.

(C) Despite evidence indicating cannabis use is linked to health and other conseguences, the perception gap persists.

(D) Cannabis proves its positive impact on health and other harms, therefore, its use keeps increasing.

(E) The views about cannabis keep changing whereas its use is still associated with destruction.

Jawaban: (C)

 

9. The word “it” in the last sentence of paragraph 4 refers to the ....

(A) drug traffickers' operation

(B) recovery from initial setbacks

(C) cause of lockdown restrictions

(D) rise of the technology use

(E) regular financial system

Jawaban (A)
