Summary of Do Video Games Kill by Karen Stemheimer In the commentary, “Do Video Games Kill”, Karen Sternheimer brings to light an interesting and incredibly controversial subject; are video games to blame for youth gun violence? She maintains that due to many biased opinions; political, religious and advocacy groups, the media have failed to provide ample information to the public resulting in the inability to form an educated opinion, in turn causing a mass hysteria resulting in tougher security guidelines in schools, stricter juvenile laws and far less personal and parental responsibility. An incredibly popular first person shooter video game, Doom, is ripe with gratuitous violence. So much so that it has been blamed for several mass shootings, perpetrated by middle-class, white, young-adult males. The media, politicians, advocacy groups as well as the FBI are steadfast in claiming that the only rational explanation is that of the individuals falling prey to the aggression inciting video game.

After reading Kenneth Wooden’s book Weeping in the Playtime of Others: America’s Incarcerated Children, I was exposed to the devastating, heartbreaking truths about our corrupt legal system. I was never aware of the physical abuse, torture and exploitation experienced by juveniles staying in correctional facilities across America. What I found to be most disturbing is that many of these youths were not actually criminals, but runaways and mentally disabled and emotionally disturbed children. The graphic and specific nature of the descriptions was extremely unsettling because although they are events that occurred in the past, it is still recent enough to realize that what happened to these children was not terribly long ago. However, the gruesome treatment of juveniles has in
For Avalon, she was also strongly cyber bullied by a group of people on multiple blog pages that were initially started by an anonymous under the username Dragon Girl. She discovered her real friends – Tamara, Marshall, Sukey and Jemima (who were labelled the lamest group in the school). She was driven insane but her charming new best friend, Marshall, taught her to be strong and block it out – which is what she did. Everything was going so well, and then all of a sudden the bullies targeted Marshall as well. Marshall was grateful the bullies had loosened up on Avalon because he was madly in love with her ever since the first day he laid eyes on her, but on the other hand, he was also devastated he was getting all this undeserved hate.

NEDS I am writing this essay about two articles I have read. The first article i read was called “Night of the Living Neds” and the second article was called “Out of Control British Teens Worst behaved in Europe”. I’d like to focus on the way I think the author of the article has singled out Individual’s behaviour, how it could be stopped and the culture which causes it. The word NED is an abbreviation for non educated delinquent which means someone who has no education, hands about the streets and gets into bother. A female Neds is also known as a hairy.
However, the Roundheads wore plain and simple clothes, and as they were shaved, they were insulted for having such a circular appearance for a head, concluding to the nickname/insult being "Roundheads". The Parliament supporters also had their fair share of insults. These verbal wars began at the start of the conflict, most likely shocking people because of the child-like behaviour from the two formal
