    In “TV’s Negative Influence on Kids Reaffirmed” by Jeffery M. McCall, he claims that too much television is unhealthy for children. McCall states that children are more likely to be sexually active, violent, and socially impaired. The author claims that television not only negatively affects children, it also prevents children form doing productive activities such as doing homework, participating in sports, and reading. Even though all TV manufactures include v-chips in all televisions, McCall says that most families do not understand the system ratings that come with the v-chip. The author goes on to say that networks rate their own television programs and are not accurately labeling or rating their shows. McCall also argues that parents should…

    The Football Spectators Act was introduced in 1989 because of the incident at Hillsborough which lead to many people being killed. The Hillsborough disaster occurred during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on the 15th April. This was where 96 people died due to a lack of attention on the steward’s behalf. This was because they had opened up a tunnel leading into one of the stands and this was unmanned which meant that many people could walk in without the stewards knowing how many people were in the tunnel and in the stand. This mad rush of people meant that supporters were being crushed and some fans even climbed over the fences or were lifted up by fellow supporters onto the stand above to escape the crushing. Soon after the match started the crush barrier broke and fans began to fall on top of each other. The game was stopped after 6 minutes of play. Some fans tore down advertisement to use as stretchers and emergency services were called to provide assistance. This act is there to control the admission of spectators at designated football matches in England and Wales.…

    There has been some popular explanation of football hooliganism made by the media and politicians. These explanations have often been refuted by sociological academics such as Dunning, Giulianotti, and Kerr. One popular belief is that excessive alcohol consumption is a cause of football hooliganism. Dunning in his article rejects this explanation simply as he states: "Drinking cannot be said to be a deep cause of football hooliganism, for the simple reason that every fan who drinks, even heavily, takes part in hooligan acts. Nor does every hooligan drink" (Dunning 1988:13). This rejection of popular belief is further reinforced by Kerr (1994) who says that hooligans are not drunks before engaging in violence, simply because they need to have a clear head to co-ordinate activities and fight.…

    In the article “Big brother isn’t watching you” the author, Russel Brand, presents the idea that it all might have been a response to the unjust killing of a young man, by a police officer. The young man whose name was Mark Duggan, was also a black man, this created a whole new level of controversy to the mix. Was it a sign of the London police’s hatred of black people? Had such an racist act really taken place right under peoples noses? It’s hard to say whether or not the crime really just was a mistake, or there were some underlying racist feelings behind it, the case hasn’t even been closed yet. No matter the answer to this it was enough to lit fire to a pile of dried out branches, who were just waiting to be used. It’s not the first time London has experienced problems with the different ethnic groups, an issue which had been suppressed for some time, the death of Mark Duggan acted as a sort of catalyst for people to take up the fight they had been waiting for.…

Instead of calling it hooliganism it would be more correct to call it “sports-related violence”1 or “spectator violence”. In UK hooliganism is mostly associated with football. Hooliganism has always been a part of sports since its start. But it is first in the early 1960s that hooliganism has become a common problem. It was in this decade that the social problems caused by hooliganism started to appear. In the 1980s it escalated to a new level followed by lots of deaths and disasters.
