Foreign relations are so difficult because a lot of the time people dont like the other race.
President Obama should continue to change the foreign policy that Bush did because President Obama would abandon some of his predecessor's rigid ideological stances. Obama announced the closure of Guantánamo and the end of any official sanction for torture.

Players were not statistically different from the non-playing control group in their beliefs on aggression after playing the game than they were before playing. Nor was game play a predictor of aggressive behaviors. researchers have suspected a strong linkage between games and aggression but, with the exception of relatively short-term effects on young adults and children, they have yet to demonstrate this link.

They chose two action games to include in their research one violent and the other not. The first game was a non-violent racing game Need for Speed: Underground. The other was the violent first-person shooter Medal of Honor: Frontline. The team divided a group of 44 adolescents into two groups, and randomly assigned the kids to play one of the two games. Immediately after the play sessions, the children were given MRIs of their brains. Scans showed a negative effect on the teens who played Medal of Honor for 30 minutes. That same effect was not present in the kids who played Need for Speed.

The issue of video game violence and children has really come to the attention of mass media lately, and this is possibly because video games are more realistic than ever before. This is because games like this put the player right in the middle of the action, getting them to see everything from the main character's eyes as they slaughter their enemies. It is said that this desensitized young children to the violence being depicted. As such, they would not have the same aversive reaction that they normally would if they were to witness an atrociously violent act in real life.

Fifty years' of research on violent television and movies has shown that there are several negative effects of watching such fare because video games are a newer medium, there is less research on them than there is on TV and movies. Dr. Anderson and colleagues have shown that playing a lot of violent video games is related to having more aggressive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Psychologists have found that when parents limit the amount of time as well as the types of games their children play, children are less likely to show aggressive behaviors.

Where Education and Assimilation Collide
I think that we should not isolate them from the other students because they should be able to talk with them. The tensions have at times erupted into walkouts and cafeteria fights, including one in which immigrant students tore an American flag off the wall and black students responded by shouting, “Go back to your own country!” Sure they are going to fight but that happens everywhere.
We could stop a lot of this if we isolate them from the others but when they go out in the real world they are going to be surprised what is in store for them. A lot of people can pick out the people that were immigrants out of a group of people. They have to cope with a different way of life then they are used to. It could be a good idea to separate them from the other students while learning English because they wouldn't get harassed by the other students.
I think that the students should stay in school because eventually the laws would change. They would become citizens of this country, and they needed their diplomas so they could make something of themselves as Americans. Well the education would help them on ether side of the boarder.

Stem cell research
I am a person that believes and does not believe that a cell embryo is a person. I think that states should have the right to oppose the federal government on stem cell research because " no one's right for a cure supersedes someone else's right to life." I don't know much about it but creating embryos to cure a diseases doesn't sound that right to me. Sure I don't really think that embryos are people but that's just wrong.

newspapers in the future
i think that in the future the newspaper will end up being all electrical. I get my news from the computer all the time because news on the TV is boring. No I wont miss the news if its gone because I don't really care about what is happening that much. The only thing that I would miss is the comics and the sports.
