Recently, Kobe Bryant participated in an advertisement for Activision's "Call of Duty: Black Ops." In the advertisement Kobe is seen brandishing a firearm with the word "MAMBA" on it (that's Kobe's nickname). Many people are saying the Kobe is inadvertently promoting gun violence in America. Do video games promote violence? Should young people be allowed to play these games that are becoming incredibly realistic? Does rampaging through a jungle, blasting enemy combatants as you go, encourage people, young or not, to not value life? Should we ban violent video games? Violent movies? Violent music?

iPod, iTouch, iPad, I Need
I can't work or study in complete silence, yet the chattering and fooling around many students engage in during class is not my idea of a pleasant working environment. Personally, I like to have music or movies going while I work. Why shouldn't students be allowed to listen to their favorite music or movie while they work? Should this be an earned privilege? Is having a pencil an earned privilege? If something helps me work better, why can't I have it?
