Who thinks violent games are a social problem in the society? In my opinion, I think it is a big issue. Violent games are extremely dangerous for children because studies have proven that playing violent video games predict aggressive behavior. Sometimes children become criminals because these games have had a negative effect on them. They see too much shooting and killing while they are playing. As they get older they want to experience more violence. Therefore, it is hard for them to quit playing because they are too addicted. I think parents should not let their kids play violent games. They should pay attention of what kind of games their kids are playing.

Federal Bureau Of Investigations

Bureau Of Justice

Public Records / Estimated Numbers

Florida Statute

When African Americans are shopping, their apperance draws attention to store staff.  Automatically their singled out to be theives.  To take merchandise without paying for it.  I am African American and I strongly agree with other African Americans.  I have personaly experience store staff on every isle I’m shopping on.  I find it to be very embarrsing and humilating.  To the point where I have even left stores to shop other places.  I know that other races are being watched as well but not as much as African American or very dark skin people.

When shopping I have seen the white race steal more than any other race, especially their children.  They just open candy, drop the paper and begin eating, parent’s are saying, nothing.  Some even open bananas, eat apples.  How much did that weight so I can charge you for it, they drop the peels right in the trash.  Older white ladies, I see them stealing all the time.  I would never tell on anyone, that’s their life.  All I’m saying is why a certain race.  Stastatics shows more middle, upper class white students have the highest pety theft rate during spring break.  Especially in Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale areas.   The florida statute 812.014 reads: first offense is sixty to one hundred days probation, $500 fine and restution if merchandise was not recovered.  This stays on public record as first degree misdemeanor.  This hurts job applications at any place of employment because it shows the company, that you can’t be trusted.  Is it worth the risk?  African American males show crimes such as murder, twelve times more than white and 6.6 million crimes such as murder, rape and assult is done by 20% or 1.3 Interracial. 

White race commit crimes such as burgular, larcerny, and car theft.  27 million in 1992.  I use these examples to show who really steals from stores, and it’s not the African American Race, their busy doing worse crimes. ( A crime is a crime in the eyes of the law.)  The difference in long term situation such as  seeking employment, applying for college, volunteer work, etc..  The White race has money to pay Attorneys and legal fees to have their records sealed, expunged. So their safe when seeking out these things.   On the other hand African Americans usually are’nt so lucky, it stays on their records. 

 Im just saying, give all customers the comfort of shopping without passing judgment on what they are going to buy or steal, while judging them because their pants are baggy, their hair is dreded up in twist, or their clothing don’t look to appealing.

Remember, what are the social facts? Social Facts? Social Facts!

Also, use the jargon that we learn in class. Incorporate the theories and perspectives as you are introduced to them. This will reinforce the knowledge that you have gained.

When you write a blog be sure to include your name and title.  If you are uncomfortable using your real name please feel free to use a pseudonym.  Make sure that I know the pseudonym so that I can give you credit.

Also, specify the class you are in. On the Write a Post page you will see a block titled “categories” on the right hand side.  This will have Introduction to Sociology or Social Problems as options. Checking the correct one makes it easier for me to grade.

When you make comments be sure to include your name or pseudonym in the body of your blog.

Most importantly, have fun.
