tv violence

Tv has nothing to do with how violent someone will be, I could've told you that years ago. The media tries to protect from too violent on tv, but people will see violence else where, and it isnt goin to make them a criminal if they see it on tv. But yes they number 1 cause is domestic violence, because that all the person sees and knows so it makes sense. Tv has nothing to do with people becoming violent, so all the censors, and ratings for shows should go away because they make no sense.

Sitting around and concentrating on one thing at a time if you suffer from ADD. ADD is also known as Attention-Deficit Disorder, and currently affects 5% of the world's population. The disorder is mainly considered to be a developmental disorder, presenting itself in childhood. ADD usually comes with certain traits such as lacking impulse control; one with ADD would have trouble with simple tasks because they are easily distracted by anything and everything. History of ADD dates all the way back to 493 BC when scientist Hippocrates talked about a condition of patients who had "quickened responses to sensory experience, but also less tenaciousness because the soul moves on quickly to the next impression". ADD has almost become an epidemic one could say, but only in America because no other place in the world has as many ADD cases as the USA. There isn’t one cause for this strange fact, but there are some speculations on why this trend is happening in America and no where else.

I learned a lot about transitions they help focus the point. And lead into new things. Without them papers would just be randoms thoughts one after another.

Using Transitions

Many teenagers that use drugs do so because of peer pressure by friends. Peer pressure may occur when a friend influences you to do something you usually would not do, or stopped you from doing something you would like to do (Peer Pressure). Teenagers are closer to their friends than they are their parents and also share more information with their friends. Teenagers know the risks of doing marijuana but getting accepted by their friends is more important to them. During the teenage years it is hard to resist peer pressure. When they know everyone else is doing marijuana, consequently they feel as if they need to, too. As a result, teens would join their friends since they would not want to feel that as if they are being left out. Not only are teenagers influenced by their peers to do drugs but their parents also influence them.

Transitions Paragraph

In America, violence is everywhere. We see violence in the media, movies, television, and video games. Certainly, the biggest one is in the media, which makes it hard to get away from violence. In return the media makes Americans feel paranoid. Similarly, everyone is afraid of everyone else, like neighbors, classmates, coworkers, etc. So therefore, when we feel too afraid we resolve the problem with violence, normally with firearms. Although as Americans we believe that we are the best, and this is an attitude that has served us well throughout our existence. For example, if there is something wrong, whether or not it happens in our territory, we send ‘American troops’, ‘the best troops’, to resolve the problem. However, while we have this attitude of being the best, most do not realize that our neighbors up north, Canadians, are doing a better job with the crime rate. Canada’s crime rate is significantly lower than the U.S., because Canada has stricter firearm regulations than the U.S. Since these regulations exist, Canada does not have as much violence. Also, Canada does not have violence in their media. In return, Canadian’s are less afraid of each other, unlike Americans. In summary, the less violence there is in the media, then the less afraid people will be of one another.

Revised Paragraph

Today studies have proven that marijuana use among teenagers has steadily increased throughout the past couple of decades. Studies showed that “Between 1991 and 2001, the percentage of eighth graders who used marijuana doubled from one in ten to one in five” (“Marijuana Use Among Teens”). What phenomenon has caused this increasing trend in statistics? There are many possible aspects of modern culture that could have contributed to the rising numbers. Perhaps it is because the availability of the drug has increased among today’s youth. Peer pressure also has a big effect on teens’ decisions. Marijuana today may also contain stronger, more powerful drugs that make it more addictive. In addition, several key celebrities have seemed to encourage drug use through the highly public examples of their own lifestyles. But more strongly evidenced is the theory that parents’ influence on their children has led to the increase in teenage marijuana use.

Revised Transition Paragraph

Pop ups began as a way to present random types of information from a webpage without you controlling it. The idea of pop ups used in a normal fashion stated in an article written on Ivertech, “There are "innocent" pop-ups with the sole intention of getting you to a website to sell a product” (Bigham 1). They first may seem like a good idea, but encrypted inside each of these tiny boxes could be thousands of viruses or even spyware waiting to attack your computer. With each website visited, thousands of pops ups can show up on an unprotected or even a mildly protected computer is under complete attack at all times. Although these attacks may not be visible to the naked eye, the damage they can cause is indescribable to non experienced computer users. The main remark that can be made against pop ups comes straight from the hidden dangers that strike when unsuspecting users visit various sites. As an avid user of the internet I believe that we need to take a stand against these types of things, and not allow it to control our electronic lives.
