Distracted Driver: Do Distractions Affect Driving Video Game Scores? RESEARCH PAPER Chase Coffey Mr. Matisco / 7th Period September 17, 2012 Why this project will be useful: You read it everywhere, see it on the news… cell phone use and driving an automobile do not mix. People are dying on our roadways all because they simply cannot drive from one place to another without using their phone during the commute. By using a video game such as Mario Kart on the Wii, a game that most school children love, a deeper interest into this subject will most likely be attained. Research: There are many websites that discuss driver inattention which is defined as a driver being drowsy, engaging in secondary tasks (such as talking on a cell phone), not paying attention to the road ahead, and looking away from the road.
The essay “Why Games Are Good for You” written by Steven Johnson, was written not to say that video games are any better or worse than reading books but simply to clear the misconception that video games are a hindrance to people who play them when it comes to a normal education or learning the social skills people need to live a healthy life, Johnson believes nothing can replace the benefits of reading a book and the written word. However, video games appear to deliver information that would bore the average student in a way that entices them to learn more and keeps them interested in something ordinarily dull. Johnson believes it is because games give people visual rewards for our time spent that books or other forms of media aren’t able to deliver. For example, in certain games such as “SimCity” a user is encouraged to build a thriving metropolis, which teaches about taxes, population, economics and other subjects that must be considered in order to be progressive in the game. Video games require the player to memorize the information they take in, use their cognitive skills to solve a puzzle in the game or use their sensory skills to complete a task in addition to other benefits that haven’t been mentioned.

This comment further angers Kelly, and he, being drunk enough to not realize his own strength or actually register what he is doing, pushes Evelyn in a fit of anger.

This is when the reader really finds out how Kelly feels about her contesting. Though he is grateful for it, he tells his wife how it is almost unbearable to work with these men all day after she wins a big prize, because he constantly gets taunted
They say the games became to life like for the boys to handle which lead to the homicidal thoughts and in the long run the massacre itself. I feel that no matter how depressed, involved, or drawn into a game one is that it justifies an excuse to not maintain reality. Just because you are able to unleash anger in a video game or take out pent up aggression in a video game does not make hurting or killing a person ok. If you can’t handle playing the game, then don’t play. These influences and or warning signs should have been taken far more seriously I feel then they were.
This is because she is mentally and physically exhausted and drained where she never gives herself a break. In Erikson’s Psychosocial Development stages of Early Childhood (2 to 3 years) failure to develop a sense of personal control over psychical skills, personal control and sense of independence leads to shame and doubt. Maria may have failed in these early stages of life and now is where the dreams of being naked and ashamed are taunting
Also the fact that teens are so rough towards one another there brains aren’t thinking on what can happen if there physical towards people violently. Adults sometimes complain that were not adults yet, reasons why we can’t drive, buy alcohol, nor vote. In Paul Thompson’s article, “Startling Finds on Teenage Brian” published in The Sacramento Bee stated, “While research on brain-tissues loss can help us to understand teens better, it cannot be used to excuse their violent or homicidal behavior. But it can be used as evidence that teenagers are not yet adults, and the legal system shouldn’t treat them as such”. Jurors should think while there in court that treating teens as adults is something pretty much unfair, because why try teens as adults if there not even close to one.
Misdiagnosed Children all over the country are prescribed Ritalin to relieve a so called disorder called Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD. There is no solid evidence that ADHD is a genuine disorder, or disease of any kind. Perfectly normal children are bored at school, they wiggle too much, or just because they need a little more attention at home from their parents. Many children that are put on this medication are very smart and misdiagnosed because of other health problems and eventually get addicted after long-term use of the medication Bruce Wiseman, National President of the citizen’s commission on Human Rights, stated that “thousands of children put on psychiatric drugs are simply smart”. “They’re hyper not because their brains don’t work right, but because they spend most of the day waiting for slower students to catch up with them.
