Video Games and TV Teach to Kill

I both have agreements and disagreements on Mr. Grossman. He gave very strong opinion about how violent T.V shows and violent games are harmful for children. I agree with him that those violent t.v shows have the result of desensitizing viewers. They don't really think about what's good for them, the kids will just learn what they see. I also agree with his comparisons about tobacco companies and violence media companies. I think they should be responsible for all the addiction from games to cigarette smoking. Children should not be effect by all of that at such a young age, it can change their whole lives. For the sentence that Mr. Grossman said, " We're not just teaching kids to kill. We're teaching them to like it." I don't think that is true. There are T.V shows talk about how dangerous and risky are those violent. If those children understand the right thing, they will study the way to not kill and to not like violence actions. I agree with Mr. Grossman's opinion, but as time pass, maybe things will change. Kids will only see those violent games and t.v shows as something they play to get out of stress, and learn not to do get affect by it and throw all of it away in the real world. I hope that kids will change or those violent companies who are just making profit will effect the whole world as well as generations after us.

Homework

After Ms. Patrice read the book "The Carpet Boy's Gift” for us, I was very sad for the children. They was sold to the factory for just about 1000 rupees, children are not for selling around. I think they all have freedom and the right to do what they want. Not listen to what their ‘master’ says. The children shouldn’t be treated badly like that. Iqbal did a great job by spreading the message out to other children that they have the right to go to school not to work in a factory, but unfortunately he was killed. In the world right now, there are still some people that ignore the rights of children. Those children still have to work very hard and being punished or hurt. In my opinion, this world will be greater place if all the children in this world have their own freedom and have an education. I hope everyone in this world understands the rights and help the children to achieve their dreams.

Favorite Song :)

This song is called "Heal the world" by Michael Jackson. Although Michael Jackson had passed away, his songs are still very famous. "Heal the world" is one of my favorite songs. It tells about some part of the world which is very poor and constantly at war. Those people don't have a living like us. They sleep on the street, under a tree,... It makes me very sad just even to think about it. In my opinion, the message of this song is to respect all of the people. Even if they are poor, black people,...They are all human beings like us. It is very unfortunately for them. We should help them by treating them with equal rights, and donations.

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

Like the title, we need to put our hands in to heal and make this world a better place. I want this world to be happy and the bright futures will come. :D

The very first L.A Homework! :D

Three things I saw while I was reading “Madam and the Rent Man” poem by Langston Hughes were:

-       - The rent man gently waited outside of the door for Madam.

-       - Madam was very angry, and curse… the rent man, by saying things about Hades (the god of underworld). It is where the worst things happen.

-       - The apartment was very bad. All the stuffs were broken, like the sink is broke, the back window’s cracked; rats ran around with different squeaky sounds.

That’s all of my opinion!
