My method of creating change for alcohol and drug abuse is relevant and ideal to contemporary Canadian Society because my method is stopping the people who sell alcohol or drugs to the young people and if we can stop that then we can stop the addiction and we can save the future. This is a good way to incite change and raise awareness because my mind map is based on facts and nothing else I tried not to make it biased in any way and I really think that alcohol and drug abuse is a very important matter which we should take seriously and let people decide if they want to take the risks or not. In the meantime though I will continue giving them the facts let them make that decision on their own.
