Point IV for Policy Paper

The are three perspectives that I outlined in my paper. First, I discussed the original use and purpose for steroids, and why they were developed, and how their creators never intended for steroids to be used how they are being used today. Second, I talked about positives to steroids about increasing muscle size, getting better at athletics and providing more entertainment in the sports world. Third, I discussed the negative effects that steroids have. I talked about how steroids affect the body physically and mentally. Also, the effects that steroids have on society and doctors in terms of the costs that they cause.

Based on the current state of things, I think that the persepective that is most dominant is the perspective of the negative effects that steroids have. I think this is true because the negatives completley outweigh the positives. They are hurting people, both directly and indirectly. I think that the motivation for this perspective is the increase in use of steroids by people who are unaware of the effects. I think this is because with a lack of knowledge, people are making choices that they will eventually regret.

I think that the perspective that needds to be dominant is the perspective that there are many negative effects of steroids and steroid use. I think this is necessary because people need to be informed on all aspects of steroids. I think that this perspective also needs to be dominant because it will inform those who need to be informed, providing enough information for them to make their own educated decision.

The perspective can be enforced as a policy by making a policy that we need to educate people on the effects of steroid use to decrease steroid use.
