    In addition, according to Befiore (1950), aggression was best explained by the psychoanalytic by Sigmund Freud. In the 1950’s, aggression was believed to be a drive, due to the popularity of Clark Hull’s theory that explained behaviors in terms of needs and drives (Eron, 1987). By the early 1970’s aggression was considered as a behavior that could be explained by behaviorist principles, such as positive and negative reinforcement and punishment. This reflects the popularity of B.F Skinner and his behaviorism at this time (Eron, 1987). However by the late 1970’s, the Social Learning Theory, developed by Albert Bandura gained popularity and it was believed that aggression is learned by modeling (Eron). Since the 1980s, the theories that have…

    In How to Read Literature like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster, Foster uses literature to simplify his analysis of modernist novels. One piece of literature, he analyzes is the short story The Dead by James Joyce. In the short story, snow is a prominent element and symbolizes death and unity. It is used to highlight the death of Gabriel’s delicate ego. With impeccable wording, Joyce uses the snow to enlighten Gabriel about an important lesson--that he is an inadequate piece of the world and that he is only one of the thousands of people of the world united by snow. Joyce describes Gabriel's newfound humility as, “[h]is own identity was fading out into a grey impalpable world: the solid world itself, which these dead had one time reared and…

    In this paper we present the Castilian translation of The Blazing World (1666) by Margaret Cavendish (to be published by Ediciones Siruela in April 2017). We divide our discussion on three points. First, we review the receipt of Margaret Cavendish in the field of Castilian language, doing much attention to translations of his works as to works that allude to the author. Secondly, we present how we have solved some major problems posed by the translation of the text as adopted for treatments between different characters (eg, typical rhetorical turns of the time, some archaic words and grammatical constructions, and some polysemic or historical semantic changes, as in "art", "artificial", "fancy", "wit". Finally, we present as we have structured…

    Video games are basically known as a staple among American teenagers. Many teenage boys and even some girls spend hours of their day staring at the TV screen and rapidly pushing buttons on a controller. Many of the top selling games in America strongly involve violence in their gameplay. These types of games raise many questions about how they affect the people playing the games. Are there negative consequences or are these claims just made up? There is research to back up both claims but the negative effects of violent video games seem to overpower the positives of recreational violent video game play. Manufacturers should enforce their own policy towards people who play their games in a more efficient way. Video games have multiple severe problems associated with the violence that is so heavily incorporated into them. Video games can give a false sense of reality and allow gamers to become so immersed into their game play that lines between real life situations and game play situations begin to blend together. Playing video games can also become an addictive distraction. Many avid gamers can spend hours at a time glued to their TVs playing on their Xboxes, PS3s, and other gaming consoles. This time spent playing games can take away from other activities. Important things like schoolwork and grades can be affected by spending all one’s time playing games instead of focusing on more important things. It can cause people that play the games to go to sleep super late in the night. The students then have to wake up early and go to school tired and will not be able to focus and stay awake to learn the material being taught. Video games also spur a sedimentary lifestyle. Obviously, not getting enough daily exercise leads to weight gain and other health issues. Violent video games also cause behavioral and social problems. These games desensitize people towards killing and steer them in the direction that killing is…

    Montague did not argue that nonspanking alone will produce a nonviolent society. On the contrary, the eight societies described in his book show that a great deal more is required, especially a high level of attention to a child's needs and safety, and positive rather than punitive modes of dealing with misbehavior. If spanking is a risk factor for societal violence, it is only one of many risk and protective factors. Consequently, rather than a one-to-one relationship between spanking and societal violence, the cross-cultural evidence suggests only that corporal punishment is associated with an increased probability of societal…

    The passage "Video Games Enhance the Lives of Youths" states that "Games are a safe outlet to relieve stress and aggression" and that "researchers agree that children feel stress just like adults." Not all adults look for video games as an outlet. Children should have a healthy, alternate method to relieve stress, such as playing a sport. Violent video games shouldn't be a factor in relieving aggression. A child is more prone to act out if he/she then gets told that they aren't allowed to play a video…

    The negative effects electronics had on teens vary. From the way teens think of themselves, to the way they act, and how they interact, and many more. One major reason is teens can become depressed, not like themselves for who they are because they get cyber-bullied. In some circumstances the teens end up killing themselves on purpose or accidentally. Ekjaer wrote that teens cam hinder and then might not be able to take it anymore and kill themselves or harm themselves. Also teens can accidentally get killed because they might be too focused on what other people are saying about them that they could get in a car crash. Ekjaer is trying to say that more teens are getting cyber-bullied than bullied in school that teens harm themselves more when they get cyber-bullied, worst case scenario they die. Another reason is teens would much rather be on their phones in an isolates place them interact with people and explore the world. Ashley M. wrote "Teens have stopped picking up the phone to talk to a family member" Teens would much rather not see the or just text them. It will get harder to interact with people that way because it's easier to say stuff over text then in real life. Ashley M. also wrote that teens become in their own world when they text or out in headphones so teens risk of getting hurt is much higher. Teens isolate themselves and just go into their own world and not pay attention. The last reason i have is teens gain a lot of weight, develops diseases, and lack physical activity. Roberts states that " 33% of teens are obese" This is because teens that are obese stay inside…
