For my final idea, I have gone with “Is Ketamine Killing OUR Dancefloors?”. I feel like this is a topic I can speak quite a lot about. I can bring my own personal experiences to the essay to give it more of a human feel. Some essays can sometimes seem forced and robotic. I would like to take mine in the opposite way. The essay will be informative, but shall also come across as natural. The balance between formal and forced is something I have struggled with in the past. The use of big words and fancy sentence structures does not make the essay good. Instead, it is the quality of the information and researched ues that determines the level of your essay.
Drug abuse is something that a lot of young people struggle with, and it is more prominent than ever in raves and clubs. Raves have always been funded by the supplying and selling of drugs, but do some drugs cause more harm than others. The “harm” in question is not only the physical problems that it can cause a person, but also the damage it can have on an industry. This is something that I would love to take a deeper delve into.
As you may of noticed in my title, the word our is all in capitals. This is not by accident, but instead placed there for a reason. House is a community, the rave culture is something that millions hold near and dear to their hearts. I’ve seen it in interviews where ravers would go as far to say “House is religious”, and to some degree I follow the same mindset. Many go to raves for comfort and solace, the dancefloor is something to be shared, all by people who have similar interests. This is what makes it ours. Now the question is, is ketamine killing our dancefloors, or has the culture of raves changed unknowingly. Will it ever be the same?
