The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet - Synopsis by William Shakespeare
The prologue of Romeo and Juliet calls the title characters “star-crossed lovers”—and the stars do seem to conspire against these young lovers.
Romeo is a Montague, and Juliet a Capulet. Their families are enmeshed in a feud, but the moment they meet—when Romeo and his friends attend a party at Juliet’s house in disguise—the two fall in love and quickly decide that they want to be married.
A friar secretly marries them, hoping to end the feud. Romeo and his companions almost immediately encounter Juliet’s cousin Tybalt, who challenges Romeo. When Romeo refuses to fight, Romeo’s friend Mercutio accepts the challenge and is killed. Romeo then kills Tybalt and is banished. He spends that night with Juliet and then leaves for Mantua.
Juliet’s father forces her into a marriage with Count Paris. To avoid this marriage, Juliet takes a potion, given her by the friar, that makes her appear dead. The friar will send Romeo word to be at her family tomb when she awakes. The plan goes awry, and Romeo learns instead that she is dead. In the tomb, Romeo kills himself. Juliet wakes, sees his body, and commits suicide. Their deaths appear finally to end the feud.

Drug use has been prevalent for several decades in the United States. In general, the most used are tobacco, alcohol, opioids, marijuana, amphetamines, cocaine, and psychedelics, while among teens, alcohol, marijuana, and tobacco are the top three (Most Reported Substance Use among Adolescents Held Steady in 2022). Studies on the impact of smoking and vaping use in films have found evidence of increased risk among exposed children, indicating the process of causal association (Hassanein et al., 2022). Changes in recreational and medicinal regulation process have also brought modifications to some illicit substances, like marijuana and psychedelics, for those having gained legal status in states like California, Colorado, and Oregon. However, a study in Washington, a recreational state, illustrated no increases in marijuana use among 12th graders and a decrease of 22% in 10th graders. Despite these societal process change, cigarettes, marijuana, and alcohol still pose significant dangers to individuals, especially when abused. In recent years, the landscape of alcohol consumption has changed to include unsuspecting high-alcohol beverages like seltzers, marketing via social media, and businesses that historically did not provide, but now readily provide drinks, like movie theaters and “for here, or to go” off-premises sales. Alcohol abuse can result in a process of liver damage, impaired judgment, addiction, and increased risk of accidents and violence (Jones, 2020). Cigarettes contain harmful chemicals that can lead to severe respiratory issues, cardiovascular diseases, and various forms of cancer. Marijuana, although touted for its medicinal properties, can have adverse effects on the memorization process, concentration, and mental health, particularly among young users, therefore, these health concerns are deeper than ever, as marijuana potency has increased steadily over the last two decades.

TEXT V
Turn on your light
by Ben Okri
[…]
Will you be at the harvest,
Among the gatherers of new fruits?
Then you must begin today to remake
Your mental and spiritual world,
And join the warriors and celebrants
Of freedom, realisers of great dreams.
You can't remake the world
Without remaking yourself.
Each new era begins within.
It is an inward event,
With unsuspected possibilities
For inner liberation.
We could use it to turn on
Our inward lights.
We could use it to use even the dark
And negative things positively.
We could use the new era
To clean our eyes,
To see the world differently,
To see ourselves more clearly.
Only free people can make a free world.
Infect the world with your light.
Help fulfill the golden prophecies.
Press forward the human genius.
Our future is greater than our past.
