Is It Helpful?


Image result for violent mediaDoes violent media really help kids with what Gerard Jones calls "soul hood"? Maybe it helps some kids but for many it corrupts their mind. Gerard says" We send the message to our children in a hundred ways that their craving for imaginary gun battles and symbolic killings is wrong, or at least dangerous." Stating that violent media gives kids the wrong visual of how they view things in reality. Kids play violent media games for entertainment and actually take everything they see in the game literally. My 16 year old friend from High School has a game called Grand Theft Auto (GTO). He seems to enjoy the game very much, he plays it often. One day he took it upon himself to react to the game in a negative way. Based off of information some kids take things differently because of personal home experience. Gerard says" I heard pop psychologists insisting that violent stories are harmful to kids, heard teachers begging parents to keep their kids away from junk culture." Honestly I think violent media is a bad source for kids because kids copy everything they see, it tends to separate them from being calm and respectful.

He appeals to pathos by saying " a woman hopes her 10 years old boy, scavenging beside her grows up to get a factory job, because she has seen other kids get ran over by garbage trucks". Basically saying that some people don't have a choice of a better life, a factory job is what they only see as a real future for their families. Nicholas states " sweatshops are only a symptom of poverty, not a cause" because it’s better than not just being productive at all, when at least you can have a low paying job with its diffic

The Argument !

What I have learned about arguments is that they are obnoxious. They have different factors involved, most arguments are not verbal they are written. Arguments are not a disagreement between two people, they are more like trying to persuade a person on your opinion. Arguments could also be seen as contradictions. Arguments happen so frequently no matter where you go, you would catch them on TV, in a store, in a book, and even in your own house. When argumentation occur you have to actually have reasoning behind it to actually support your argument, otherwise it’s a statement based on your opinion with no action. In most of my high school English classes I have had formal arguments. To have a formal argument it has to be academic based verbally or written. Outside of school I have more informal arguments over the smallest things in the world. If you don’t have two debatable statements/opinions your argument won’t really be an argument. Even though all arguments may seem to only be t
