The research topic of this study is how integrating technology into a middle school classroom effects student engagement and performance on assessments. Students that are currently in middle school have grown up with technology surrounding them their entire lives. When these students see technology as a part of their everyday life, it seems natural to include technology in their school work whenever possible. It is true that some schools lack the resources to allow classes to integrate technology as frequently as they would like, however, this study will look at the effect that technology has on engaging students in their lessons. This study will also explore if an increase in student engagement leads to improved achievement

Thesis statement: Research suggest that information technology can negatively affect human social behavior resulting from issues such as reduced attention spans, poorer communication skills, and an altered perspective on reality.

Despite the issues regarding the scientific studies, evidence has drawn positive links suggesting people who use drugs are more likely to engage in criminal activity than non-users if simply because they are breaking the law to obtain the substance of use. Research does support this contention as people who are arrested for various crimes test positive to be under the influence of a drug at the time they committed their offense. However, the evidence remains elusive as to whether the drug use led to the crime or the crime was separate from the drug use and related needs (i.e., money to buy drugs, territorial wars, etc.). Because of inconsistent data and definitions in reporting, statistical evidence is not empirical enough to draw hard conclusions regarding the relationship between drugs, including alcohol, and crime, or to quantify how much of that crime begins with the innocent-seeming lighting up of a marijuana cigarette. In addition, when more than one drug is present, it is difficult to assess which of the two or more might have induced or inspired the criminal behavior, if any. The association between alcohol and violence illustrated through various studies makes it clear that correlations between drug use and crime are greater complicated through the presence of other dynamics such as socio-demographic and personality characteristics.

Drug addiction is a disease that is accompanied by a pathological attraction to the use of narcotic drugs. Unfortunately, not many people can get rid of it. Rohan Palmer in his article “"Models of Drug Addiction: Theories and Future Applications in Prevention and Treatment” described who exposed to drugs. He stated that “There are critical transition periods during childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood were the risk for drug use is elevated” (5). As children approach adolescence, they are exposed to a greater availability of drugs, drug-abusing peers, and social activities that involve drugs. Furthermore, each individual is influenced by predisposing genetic and familial environmental liabilities. The combination of all of these possible determinants ultimately determines the extent to which use and abuse of drugs in early developmental stages may lead to disastrous life outcomes.

Domestic violence has had a traumatic affect on the lives of millions of people in the United States alone (Carretta, 2010, p. 28). Bryant Furlow (2010) states that domestic violence is any physical, psychological or sexual abuse endured by a current/former spouse, intimate partner or simply anyone who is abusing another family member. According to Furlow (2010) domestic violence incorporates elder abuse, child abuse and intimate partner violence. Although domestic violence can affect all members, a majority occurs between current/former spouses or cohabitant partners (Daigle, 2013, p. 132).
