(MWP1 Precis 6)

In his article, “Vocabularies of motive for illicit steroid use among Bodybuilders” (2002) Lee F. Monaghan* interprets the use of language and slang by bodybuilders to justify their actions and morals. Monaghan does so by analyzing the symbology and social stature amateur bodybuilders place upon the steroids that they use to increase their physical stature. Although a very interesting article, the purpose of this article is not to entertain a person’s thoughts but rather, enlighten them to un explored depths of the unknown. The intended audience for this article is that of politically involved or common wealth people.
