The prescription of a new generation

Abstract: 

The article discusses prescription drugs and their influence to the new generation. The article implies that college students in the United States are raised in a society that upholds such drugs as everyday commodities or even as school necessities. It is stated that the drugs, which include medications for Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), are socially branded and advertised directly to the consumers unlike other commercial products. As a result, college students take prescription drugs to be able to withstand the competition for college admission, a scenario which the article investigates.
