In his excerpt for The Examiner “Why Boys Become Vicious”, award winning author Sir William Golding implies that people's reasons for evil, regardless of whether they were born with cruelty or their situation brought it out, is greatly affected by their home environment, social situation, fear, and chaos. This stand ties into one of the oldest debates in the history of psychology is the Nature vs Nurture which centers around whether a person's development is predisposed in his DNA, or a majority of it is influenced by early environment and development. The research of multiple psychologists and scientists, as well as the abundance of examples of children who have openly exhibited the cruelty Golding refers to, validate his claim. Golding argues…

Standing before you, you see a child. Like many children, they’re young and small, about ten or younger. But you should mind the ak47 they have propped on their shoulder and their lifeless eyes that have witnessed several deaths of both friend and foe, comrade, and enemy. The only happiness these eyes have seen, is the adrenaline rush from the witnessed crossfire, and the drugs running through their systems, and behind those eyes : a mind of a hardened soldier. Here in the united states children live a rather blessed life, few of them grow up to know extreme violence.…
Why Gun Violence Really Happens Violence is a huge part of everyone’s life today no matter what neighborhood you live in or what background you come from. All you have to do is just turn to your local or national media station, chances are that there will be something that shows up about some sort of shooting or crime. This constant showing of violence has made the general population desensitized to it. The question we are asking is why does so much gun violence happen? Although the news always tries to blame mental illness for shootings, they should be taking some of the blame as well because of how much they cover the events and how it could lead to copy-cat shooters.…

Everyone raises their children differently, but what is the right way to raise a child? Should you be a tough disciplinarian who never lets their child out of their sight, or an easy going, fun, friendly parent? This has been a big debate for years, and nobody knows the actual answer. Some may say the reason children behave badly is because there is no discipline. Some may also say the reason why children behave badly is because they cannot express how they feel at home, so they act out in public when their parents are not…
Life is about choices, whether they are right or wrong, they are made. No matter what oppositions are faced, if someone genuinely wants to achieve something they will stop at nothing to complete their mission. Unfortunately, these goals are not always for the greater good. Violence is a goal that mentally unstable individuals tend to seek, and age is not a factor in this equation. Children are capable of violence ranging from playground brawls at school to brutal crimes, such as shootings.…

Violent role-playing games are a hotly disputed subject within the close-knit communities of parents, educators, and video game designers. Parents argue that they are degrading for their children and educators tend to lean towards the angle that their students do not benefit from the influence of games with violence in them, or ban elementary-school level children from pretending to fight during recess because of, they claim, safety reasons. However, these types of games are educational and beneficial for children, especially if in future life they plan to serve in the military or in any high-ranked government or business position (for the same reasons that businessmen often read Sun Tzu 's The Art of War). They can teach valuable life lessons, they provide an outlet for violent thoughts and feelings, are entertaining, and can stop people from committing real homicides. Violent role-playing games offer an emotional…

The concrete permanence of guns when in the wrong hands is something that should not be taken lightly; nor should be a situation that involves children, being around firearms. Children are the foundation of our future society, to ensure that every child gets quality education is extremely high on the list of importance in education, a child’s safety and well being comes far before any academic achievement. Ensuring that the learning place is a safe haven for cognitive progression and development is essential to the learning process. To allow guns into this safe haven for progression within young children is an absolutely absurd concept to even being to attempt to wrap my head around. Unfortunately in Arizona private schools they are able to have guns on campus with proper regulations in place.…

The United States has countless children aged 10-14 viewing violent and traumatizing motion pictures. Most have seen the harsh movie The Dark Knight, which has a PG-13 rating.
