I think that students should have the freedom to read anything they want. What I mean by that is that they can read books that makes reading interesting for the kids. If kids dont get to choose what they want to read, after a while they will get board and just stop reading. If they stop reading it can be bad in many ways. They could lose all their imagination and be alone all the time. That is why I think that students should have the freedom to read anything they want.

Watching a single TV episode can increase aggressiveness. For example hundreds of studies show that kids and teens imitate the violence they see on TV. Also when affected the kids/teens can afeect other kids and increse violence by thirty-minutes of TV.
Kids choose violence to solve problems. Also there hundreds of studies that there are two other similar acts like become immune to violence and imitate violence.
Kids with emotional, behavioral etc. problems are affected more with TV violence. Studies show that the impact on these kids/teens immediately or years in the future.
A way that kids and teen can watch violence is The First Amendment to have a freedom of speech. However The First Amendment cannot cover the actions that the kids and teens do.

I am reading the book A Lesson Before Dying and i'm on chapter 5. This book is about this kid named Jefferson who is going to go to jail for a crime he did not commit. The joury sentenced Jefferson to death by electricution. His Aunt and his other Aunt Emma want Grant, their nephew, to go talk to Jefferson to make him a man. They want Grant to talk to Jefferson because in court all anybody was saying to Jefferson was that he was not a man. That made his Aunts very sad and that is why they want Grant to go talk to him. Even though Grant dosent want to talk to Jefferson his Aunts are making him go talk Henri Pichot. They are going to talk to Henri because his brother is the sheriff. The only reason they are going to talk to him is one his aunts worked for Henri for along time and thought he would help him and two like i said before his brother is the sheriff. When they got home he went to Beyonne to go to the Rainbow club with vivian to talk about moving to Baton Rouge. She told him she couldn't right now but when her divorce was final they would. That is as far as I got in A lesson Before Dying.

I think that students should have the freedom to read anything they want because that way kids will be more interested in books and maybe there spelling could be better and their vocabulary might be better.That way when they are going to do a speech or say something they could use strong vocabulary because of their reading.If students keep reading the books that they want they could relate to them because of there issues at home. Also it could help kids read fluently.When students need help on vocabulary it could help them learn vocbulary.

Students should have the freedom to read anything they want. Kids will be more interested in reading if they had a choice in what they read. Sometimes kids read from a textbook throughout the day, and want to have a chance to read what they want. Kids face tough issues. By talking about those issues it will help them not feel alone. Also by reading about it, it can help them to do something about what ever is going on. To talk to someone about it. The first amendment protects the freedom of speech, as long as its not dangerous. Kids should be able to read what they want but in reason. Also depending on the age level. Some material may not be apporpriate. I think that students should have the freedom to read anything they want.
Alexia
Students should have the freedom to read anything they want. If kids get to have the freedom, to read waht they want they will be more intrested in reading. They will have choices. Kids go through hard issues sometimes. When books talk about issues like racism or violence kid's wont feel alone. People say certain books can give kids bad ideas. I wouldn't even be reading books that aren't appropriate. The first amendmant talks about the freedom of speech. Kids should read what they want, but still be appropriate.

Kids shoudent read scary books because they might have nightmares. Kids can get realy scared of books. Kids can be fun and cool.

In books there you find some inappropriate language, ideas and bad influences . These inappropriate subjects will give a kid bad influences and will start with bad language that the books gave them.The inappropriate subjects can also contain violence, language, racism horrid ideas. Parents teacher and librariands don't whant kid's reading bad subjects that will afect thei minds at such a young age.

What I think is a bad influence o kids, teenagers, would be drinking, or drinking and driving because of the accidents that adults have when drinking then driving in the open road. I also think that drinking should be illegal because of the number showings that comes up for drinking, 90% of people get in car crash’s mostly teenagers shown in drinking and driving. Also shown in a graph people tend to only drink 1 shot of alcohol people still do not get in car crash’s, or when adults are drunk the tend to give their children/teenagers some also.

But I steel say we should limit TV violence.
First of all American children watch to much TV violence. American children watch an average of 3 hours to 4 hours a day. A lot of viewing of TV violence courses greater aggressiveness .Kid's who see show's or program's wear violence is really realistic are more likely to do what they see in television. Second of all television can affect kids in many way’s.
Television can be a powerful influence in a kid. Hundreds of studies have found that television
Can affect kids and teens in horrible ways. One of them is that they become numb to the horror of television violence. Another way that can affect them is that they accept violence as a way to solve problems. Also they can imitate what they see in television. But in the other hand there are reasons why we should not limit television violence.
In the other hand it will be hard to limit television violence. The reason it will be hard is because the First Amendment. It is really hard to fight against it because in it there is freedom of speech. But there are limits in the First Amendment. For example there is pg, pg13, R.
In conclusion I say we should limit TV violence.
One of them is that American children watch too much television and a lot of its violence. Also TV can affect kid in many ways. But in the other hand there are many reasons why we shouldn’t limit television violence. In conclusion I say that we should limit TV violence.

How do kids get violent? They are getting violent because when they watch certain TV channels or movies that have a lot of violence and stuff like that they tend to act what they see on TV.
Are parent’s part of the problem? They can be part of the conflict like if your parents are divorced and always fighting then you will start to act just like your parents. Adults are also part of the conflict because if they mentally or physically abuse you like hitting or calling you bad names then that will affect your life forever.
Can your TV be affecting you in some way your whole life? Well it depends on what channels you are watching it also depends on how you want to live your life. Kids are easily influenced by the TV. They imitate what they see like punching, kicking, and starting a fight.
Kids are not only violent because of the TV. Kids are violent because they choose to. Kids are not only influenced of the TV they can be influenced by their friends or family. Not everybody has a TV. Kids don’t only watch bad violent TV shows and movies.
johnny revised essay
since they're growing up their thoughts and behaviors are changing.And hundred of studies from universities and colleges say and have proven that violence on tv and in movies is not a good influnece on childrens minds .Because they're maturing and if they see violence everday they get
more aggressive and violent and think they can solve their problems like the people on tv who fight to solve their problems. like if thier somone mean to them they will act like the people on tv like steven segal and bruce lee who break bones and kill people to solve there problems
and eventually they so used to seeing violence everday
that they become numb. so later in life they will not care if they hurt someone and eventually become a bully. and in
conclusion to this most parents if possible should always have parent supervision on children when they are watching tv or movies. and have strict rules to what you allow your children to watch. and if theres anything you can do you to prevent it you should do it.

We should donate money to help the homeless families and their children. We should help them because many homeless kids drop out or get held back a year. We also need to get homeless families and children off the streets so they are not exposed to any kind of danger or violence on the street. Another reason to help them is to help all the homeless families and kids get off the streets and into safe clean homes and get their parents jobs.
Many people argue that homelessness is their own fault and when they give men money they use it wrong. However, most homeless people are kids or whole families.
Homeless kids drop out or get held back. The Seattle Eastside Family Examiners say that “If homeless children are able to make it to school the are more likely to be suspended, drop out or get held back a year.
We need to get homeless families and kids off the streets so they are not exposed to danger or violence on the streets. The Seattle Eastside Family Examiners also say that “Over half of the homeless children are elementary school age, while 42% are under six, and 25% of them have witnessed violence while living on the streets. This could lead the hids to violence and gangs later on in life for them.
We need to help all the homeless families and kids get off the streets and into safe clean homes and get their parents jobs. This could help the children have better lives. The poverty rate in CA has stayed stable at a little bit over 13% between 2002 and 2005 and dropped slightly to 12.2%.
In conclusion we should donate money to help homeless families and their kids because there are so many things we can do like hel prevent them from dropping out of school, and getting them off the streets so they are not exposed to danger or violence. Also because we need to help all the homeless families and their kids off the streets and into safe clean homes and get their parents jobs. So You should go out now and find out what you can do to help homeless families get off the streets!!

There are six alternatives to tenting. Somebody can heat them to 120 degrees Farenheight. Somebody can freeze them at -20 degrees Farenheight. Someone can microwave them. You also have the option to use the Sentricon Colony Elimination System, which uses a tiny amount of the kind of poison used in tenting. Shocking (using an electro-gun) and using oil from orange peels works, too.
Tenting costs a lot. The price is about $3,000 give or take. The prices of the alternatives are less than that. The heat treatment costs from $1,250- $2,500. The electro-gun and microwaving costs about $1,150.
Some people might have enough money. Like I said before, the alternatives get rid of termites and keep more money in your pocket. They are also more environmentally friendly.
I don’t think people should tent their houses for termites. There are other ways to get rid of them. Tenting costs a lot. The alternatives are less expensive and more environmentally friendly. So, don’t tent your house!

TV violence is bad for a lot of reasons, one of them is when a child or someone older can watch TV and it has violence they might repeat what they see then someone gets hurt.
Another of my opinions is their are not influenced by TV violence they might have been violent before they even watched violence on TV. The
Producers don’t know if the audience would take it offensively because people think of violence in different ways.
TV violence is invulnerable because a lot of people want violence and the show will get a lot of views and ratings and they won’t cancel the show. Most people think that TV shows and moves now from back then earlier in the years are more violent.
Everyone has different interests and they might allow a lot of violence or they might not allow it but it depends on what it is.

Cassandra-Violence essay
Is tv violence bad? There are different reasons on how tv violence can be affective. Another reason is how much tv is being watched daily. Also parents having a part in that.
Tv violence can be affective to hildren in different ways. Studies have showed effects on what it can do. Children can become immune to it seeing it as alright to do. And accept it is as ways to solve problems. Watching a certain amount can increase the way kids behave.
Tv being watched to much? Children watch an average of 3 to 4 hours of tv. Most of it being of violent shows. It doesn't have to be where you just watch multiple times of violent shows. Violence being very realistic these days causes kids to have a thought in their minds to copy. It could just take one time and kids are influenced.
Parents also have a role in violence. When nothing is being done about whats being watched then theres a problem. They should be in-control of what their kids are watching. And tell them what they see isn't real.
Although watching a lot of violence on tv, that can cause bad behavior. It may just not be the problem. Kids themselves, who may have problems already too. By watching violent shows it could just increase their behavior even more.
Overall, tv violence is bad and affective to children. To much tv being watched causes problems. But remebering that parents have a part in what their kids watch aswell.
why is violence on t.v. is a problem
TV violence can be emotionaly or mentally damaging to kids but especially to younger kids. The evidence that proves is in the article of AACP.
~ ♥ Brielle Final Draft ♥ ~
TV violence should be limited, so kids don't imitate what they see on TV or even in movies. It not just the kid's fault for watching the violence, it's the parent's because they let them watch the violence. Parents need to advise what their child is watching to protect them from the violence.
TV violence needs to be limited. If TV networks could stop showing the violence & inappropriate shows, they can help limit violence with kids. Even if they have to make the violence shows prime time, they should. Kids don't need this influence. When adults watch violence, they know it's not right, but kids are young. They think "Well, it's on TV, so I guess its okay." The truth is, its not.
When kids watch so much violence, they start to get use to seeing it. Since they're seeing innocent people get hurt, after a while they can watch violence without feeling the victim's pain. On shows people sometimes hurt the person to get back at the other person, so kids think violence is the answer to their problems.
Another issue is when kids watch violence, they reenact what they saw. When younger kids watch shows like Power Rangers, they hurt others with some Power Ranger fighting moves. Or when they watch Spiderman, they think people who give them problems should stop bothering them by hurting them. Parents should remind their kids that whats happening during Power Rangers or Spiderman isn't real.
Although, sometimes parent can't control what their child is watching. Sometimes they're at work, so they can't prove that their child was even watching the violence. Another thing is that a show without any violence might have an episode with violence. Sometime parents don't know whats coming. However, parents can stop them from watching the violence by telling their kids they're not allowed to watch those kind of shows & movies. Even if their kid goes to their friend's house to watch a movie, the parent should find out what they're going yo watch to see it's appropriate or not.
In conclusion, parents need to advise what their children are watching. Violence should be limited on TV & movies. If there's anyway to prevent kids from watching violence it should be used.

People argue saying that tattoes will lead their children ito gangs and other violence. Studies have been made and discused by arguing that tattoes do not drag under aged kids to gangs. They do not join the gang for a tattoe. A tattoe is not violent it does not drag you violence it is a tattoe.
What use to be an outlaw is now a permanet decoration for a lot of people. It was from hate and violence to love and respect for the lost and forgotten one. The tattoe will bring an end to the hurt and pain from a lost one by having them with you always and forever until the end of your days.

So what the heck is up with parents? Parents are to dumb to see that were having CHILDHOOD STRESS! Parents have to work and pay bills and do boring stuff like that! So think we don't have stress. Well I really want to beat my parents up but I can't! So they interview me CNN way and I said," Parents! We children are going threw stress. Academic and social pressure OK! So parents your not the only one! Thank you for your time."
Your at your ugly table eating rice beacause your HUNGRY! So your all alone doing noting and staring at your white rice. Then you hear something you never herd! You hear your parents yell at each other. You think for a minute or an 1 hour or maybe 100 hours. Then you listen and hear," Stew! You know we need that money!" So you act like a horse when they come downstairs! You eat your rice like a pig and watch how your parents don't talk to each other. You sigh and say," Maybe that's how i'm going." Then you eat your rice and paly some PSP!

Tv violence isn't always appropriate. Tv violence can be powerful on kids, when they watch it andit can affect their behavior. A lot of today's Tv shows have violence. Kids that watch the violence get use to seeing it, and don't really care after a while.
Kids might use the Tv violence. Kids take the violence as a way to solve thier problems. Tv violence can cause kids to aggressive to other people. And kids will copy what they see on Tv.
Tv violence isn't always bad. It teaches them what can happen. Parents can tell their kids, that the violence on the show the characters are just acting.

Water Conservation
The lack of water conservation is one of the for most underlined reasons for the earth. Most reasons are because of extra uses of water that does not need to be used as often as they are.
One of the reasons is because people are watering there lawn too much and too often. Robert E. Lee says “your lawn only needs to be watered once a day either in the night or morning time to minimize evaporation.
An idea to start saving water could be to raise the water bill price. Most people will disagree because they do not have enough money. I agree though because if you do not have the money then you won’t waste the water.
Another problem is the leaks in our house. Many people have leaks in there house, like a sink. When the leaking you can hear it o you turn it off. Other people have leaks outside, such as a hose or pool. You usually can not hear them, but when you do see you either turn it off or call some one to fix it.
A big reason for loss of water is showers. Just by shortening your shower by two minutes you can save up to 150 gallons of water per month. Most adults will say that they have had a long day and they need to relax and take a shower but, that is not true showers can be just as helpful when they are short.
Conserving water would really help the environment to save water. These ideas should help us all in different ways.
Rodrigo's Essay
I think families should have a dog because they can protect you. They are also man's (or woman's) best friend. If you have kids the dog could play with them because most of the dogs like kids of any ages. Dogs are really smart. Fireman have dogs because they could save persons. Also if you are sad your dog will lick you to make you happy. The dog will like to play with you a lot and most of the time.
Dogs could take away a lot of your time because you have to take him out. You will have to take him to the veterinary once on a while. You will have to buy the dog a bed,blanket,a dog house, food and some toys. Every single day you will have to take out the dog. You will have to train him if you want the dog to be inside the house and that will take some time. You will have to pay a lot of attention.
I still think families should have a dog

Chocolate is very tasty. Some of it stays in your mought and still taste it. It melts in your mought and you don't have to worry about ithing and bithing untill your teeth fall of.
Chocolate has a less veraiety then candy for example: whit chocolate, dark chocolate, milck chocolate, and chocolate with filling like caramell.Chocolate leaves pices behind in your teeth and has more calories.

Illianna Whaling essay
While whaling is a big part of Japanese culture, they kill around 1,000 whales a year. Japan shouldn't allow whaling in their country because whales will become extinct. In time if whaling continues, whales will become extinct and this can affect the food chain. It will also increase global warming. Whaling is uncalled for and unnecessary.
The extinction of whales would be a tragedy because many cultures venerate whales. Whale stories are recited all around the world. Whale's mean a lot to people and their cultures. Whale's are also the largest mammals on this planet, for them to become extinct would be a horrible reflection on humanity. Japan's research program kills around 1,000 whales a year, they say for research. But the excess whale meat is being turned into dog food and served in Japanese restaurants.
The decrease of whale population will affect the food chain. Many other animals will be affected by the extinction of whales, including humans. Does Japan want to be responsible for whales and many other animals to become extinct?
Global warming also affects the decrease of whale population. Ensuring healthy whale populations is critical to restoring the health of the world's oceans. If the Japanese continue whaling then whales will soon become extinct, causing global warming to increase. The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IAW) is opposed to all forms of commercial whaling because they say its cruel, unnecessary because it meets no pressing human need, and poses threat to the survival of the world's remaining whales. Does Japan want to contribute to global warming, and the extinction of whales?
Japan asks if whaling is really any different than us killing cows for hamburger meat. Well cows are not close to becoming extinct. Cows let out a gas called methane, which increases global warming. So by humans eating cows, we are helping to reduce global warming. Cows are also over populated, so we are helping to reduce the population. Whaling is reducing the population to the point of extinction.
Whaling is uncalled for and unnecessary because the whales will soon become extinct, the people who venerate whales and recite whale stories will no longer have pictures of whales, the food chain will be affected , and global warming will increase. Japan should stop whaling in their country!

Whaling
By Illianna Gonzalez-Soto
Whaling is a big part of Japanese culture; they kill around one thousand whales a year. Whaling trips affect and increase global warming while hunting whales for research and human and animal consumption. In time, the increasing loss of the whale population will result in extinction.
The extinction of whales would be a tragedy because many cultures venerate whales. Whale stories are recited all around the world. If whales become extinct than all whales will be are stories. Many people won’t be able to imagine whales and all whales will be is a piece of paper with a picture on it, or words coming from a person’s mouth. Whales mean a lot to people and people want to go see them. If whales become extinct then no one will be able to see them live ever again.
Many other animals will be affected by the extinction of whales. One of these would be krill. Krill are some of the fish that whales eat. If the whale population lowers, then the krill population will increase, and eventually become too big. We do not want the food chain to be thrown off!!
Whaling also affects global warming. All the chemicals coming from the ships that are used for whaling is traveling up into space and making the o-zone layer get bigger! The trips are unnecessary and they contribute to global warming. Japan shouldn't’t allow whaling in their country!
Japan asks if whaling is any different than us killing cows for hamburger meat. Japan’s research program kills around 1,000 whales a year, for research. But the excess whale meat produced during “research” is being turned into dog food, and served in Japanese restaurants. Whales weren’t made for eating or for being fed to dogs, but cows were made for feeding everyone. So yes killing cows is different than killing whales. Cows are made for human consumption, but whales aren’t.
If whaling continues than whales will soon become extinct, people who venerate whales will only have words to remember whales by, the food chain will be affected, and global warming will increase. For all these reasons, Japan should put an end to whaling in their country. Whales are the largest mammal on Earth, and they were made for studying. For whales to become extinct would be a horrible reflection on all of humanity not just the Japanese.

The same thing happens to the teenagers, and they also become immune and numb to the horror and violence that they see, for most parents its okay to let there kids be watching the violence from television because they say that violence is the answer to problems.
Some kids try to imitate the violence that they see in the shows that they watch, and just by watching one episode it can increase the aggressiveness on children. Also the parents of the children should pay more attention to the shows that there kid’s watch and they should also watch some shows with them.
~ ♥ Brielle's Revised Eassy ♥ ~
TV violence should be limited, so kids don't imitate what they see on TV or even in movies. It not just the kid's fault for watching the violence, it's the parent's because they let them watch the violence. Parents need to advise what their child is watching to protect them from the violence.
TV violence needs to be limited. If TV networks could stop showing the violence & inappropriate shows, they can help limit violence with kids. Even if they have to make the violence shows prime time, they should. Kids don't need this influence. When adults watch violence, they know it's not right, but kids are young. They think "Well, it's on TV, so I guess its okay." The truth is, its not.
When kids watch so much violence, they start to get use to seeing it. Since they're seeing innocent people get hurt, after a while they can watch violence without feeling the victim's pain. On shows people sometimes hurt the person to get back at the other person, so kids think violence is the answer to their problems.
Another issue is when kids watch violence, they reenact what they saw. When younger kids watch shows like Power Rangers, they hurt others with some Power Ranger fighting moves. Or when they watch Spiderman, they think people who give them problems should stop bothering them by hurting them. Parents should remind their kids that whats happening during Power Rangers or Spiderman isn't real.
Although, sometimes parent can't control what their child is watching. Sometimes they're at work, so they can't prove that their child was even watching the violence. Another thing is that a show without any violence might have an episode with violence. Sometime parents don't know whats coming. However, parents can stop them from watching the violence by telling their kids they're not allowed to watch those kind of shows & movies. Even if their kid goes to their friend's house to watch a movie, the parent should find out what they're going yo watch to see it's appropriate or not.
In conclusion, parents need to advise what their children are watching. Violence should be limited on TV & movies. If there's anyway to prevent kids from watching violence it should be used.

that violence on tv is negative problem for the thoughts of young children
and their behaviors change because they become more aggressive and become angry and try to solve their problems with violence like people
on tv like wrestlers and those super heroes and try to
act the same in school because if they see a kid in school
doin something their not supposed and or bullying someone
they try to solve it so
they try to act like heroes and beat them up and then try to solve everything with violence
then they get so used to violence and becomes part of their daily life they become immune and numb to violence
so later on they get in to violent crimes and
you can prevent all that by things like a v chip or just try try to watch your kids and try to always have parent supervion on your children

Brittany persuasive essay draft and revised essay
Some people kill tigers for parts of their body like their teeth,fur,bones,and more .One reason why people kill tigers for their body is so they sell whatever they take from the tiger and get a lot of money.Another reason people kill tigers for parts of their body is for tigers fur to put on/in clothes to keep people warm.The final reason people kill tigers this way is to sell what they take on the black market for traditional Chinese medicines.People may say well we use their fur for warmth and it looks better than regular wool from a sheep.Yes we do use their fur for warmth and it does look better but when we take the wool from a sheep we don't kill it and it will grow back but when we kill a tiger you only get one use out of it.
People may also kill tigers when they move into the same regions as them and kill them.One reason this happens is people kill them out of a misguided belief that the tiger might hurt them while its looking for prey.Another reason is that people might kill them out of revenge because something could have happened or they just don't like them.The final reason this happens is when they move they need to make room so they cut down the tigers homes so their forced to go live somewhere else where they aren't adapted to and end up dying from a change of territory.People kill tigers this way with a whole lot of other ways that people kill them
People may also kill tigers when they are hunting for other animals like deer and other animals that people hunt.One reason this happens is the tiger will be hunting for prey and sees the bait that is set and the tiger gos for the bait and dies for being a hungry animal.Another reason that this happens is a tiger is chasing its prey runs over a trap and gets caught.The final reason is they get killed accidentally is if its harmlessly walking around when someone might see them and kill them out of fear.This is just another way that people kill tigers and their are still a lot more than this.
People kill tigers no matter what the reason is and they shouldn't because its very mean.People are killing tigers and few people really care about it.They probably think tigers are just wild animals and I shouldn't care if people kill them their not my business.People should care because if not people in the future will not be able to see them unless they see a picture of it or here about them.Plus killing tigers is illegal wherever you are.Thats why people should never kill tigers.
What I need to revise:
I need a new thesis
Reword arguments
Fix conclusion to each paragraph
Revised Essay
Why should people kill tigers for their own benefit?People kill tigers for parts of body like their teeth or their fur.People also kill tigers when they move into the same regions as them.Finally people may kill the tigers accidentally while they are hunting.I may only mention three reasons but there are probably a lot more reasons to why people kill tigers
Some people kill tigers for parts of their body like their teeth,fur,bones,and even more.One reason why people kill tigers is to sell what they take from the tiger for a lot of money.Another reason is people kill tigers for parts of their body is to use the tigers fur to keep them warm when it gets cold.The final reason people kill tigers this way is so they can sell what they take from the tiger and sell it on the black market for traditional medicines.People probably say well we use the parts from the tiger to benefit us so we should keep killing them.Well yeah it does benefit us but other animals that we already kill benefit us so we don't need to kill any more animals then we already do.That's why people shouldnt kill tigers for their own benefit.
People kill tigerswhen they move into the same regions as themand kill them.One reason why people kill tigers this way is they have a misguided belief that the tigers are going to harm them in some way.Another reason this happens is people want revenge on the tigers for being there and thinking their going to hurt them.The final reason this happens is they have to cut down the tigers home to make room for new houses and are forced to move to a new place and die from not knowing the new place.The tigers dont deserve to die but they do because people keep killing them.
People may also kill tigers when they are hunting for other animals people normally hunt like a deer which would then make killing them an accident.One reason this happens is the tiger is hunting sees the bait and goes to the trap,gets caught and dies from hunger or thirst.Another reason why tigers die this way is when a tiger walks, or runs over a set trap and gets caught and eventually dies from either hunger or thirst.The last reason why tigers die this way is if someone is hunting sees the tiger walkiing around harmlessly and kill them out of fear of getting injured.People may not mean it but it still hapopens which i dont think is fair to the tigers or anyone who likes tigers so when people hunt they should be more careful on what they kill or maybe thye shouold stop hunting all together.
Some people kill tigers for their own weird reason or to bene fit them in some way.People are killing tigers and nobodys really doing anything whether the killings are on purpose or an accident.People probably think well there just wild animals so why should I care.People should care because some tiger species are already endangered and soon there will be no more tigers and the only way people will be able to see a tiger is in a picture or picturing what other people say they look like.Thats why people should start caring about tigers more or else nobody will ever get to see a tiger again.

As early as 1952, the United States House of Representatives was holding hearings to explore the impact of television violence and concluded that the "television broadcast industry was a perpetrator and a deliverer of violence." In 1972 the Surgeon General's office conducted an overview of existing studies on television violence and concluded that it was "a contributing factor to increases in violent crime and antisocial behavior." In his testimony to the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Surgeon General Jesse Steinfeld said, ""It is clear to me that the causal relationship between televised violence and antisocial behavior is sufficient to warrant appropriate and immediate remedial action… There comes a time when the data are sufficient to justify action. That time has come."
The average child spends 25 hours a week watching television, more time than they spend in school or engaged in any other activity except sleep. It influences them.
Violent entertainment leaves a mark, even on children who don't engage in aggressive behaviors. Witnessing repeated violent acts increases general feelings of hostility and can lead to desensitization and a lack of empathy for human suffering. Over time, consumption of violence-laden imagery can leave viewers with the perception that they are living in a mean and dangerous world, giving them an unrealistically dark view of life. t is estimated that by the time an average child leaves elementary school, he or she will have witnessed 8,000 murders and over 100,000 other acts of violence. verall, violence increased in every time slot between 1998 and 2002. On all the networks combined, violence was 41% more frequent during the 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT) Family Hour in 2002 than in 1998. Nearly 2 out of 3 TV programs contained some violence, averaging about 6 violent acts per hour.
In conclusion, please help stop violence on TV.

ELiZAA - PURSUASiVEE ESSAY
It's a fact that kids do what they see and if they saw a possessed , killer child stabbing someone, they would probably think that its okay-that its what kids do. If they see a video game where, usually you have three lives, they would believe that everyone has three lives. There is one case where not too long ago, there was a little boy who shot a little girl because he bugged him and his answer to it all was "I'll see her tomorrow anyways."
"Special" people who cant think like a normal person does, shouldn't watch killer movies because some of these people can be dangerous mostly because they only know how to react violently to begin with. They can be uncontrollable and impulsive; anything can set them off. Some of those people don't know that their "special" and the situation isn't good when they don't have a doctor's supervision, and it gets worse if they see violence on T.V.
There are some very sensitive kids in this world, and they have to be very careful with what they see or hear. Now a days you can find anything on both Television and Internet, when these kids see heads being chopped off and blood flying everywhere, it would probably really scare them. Usually, when your young you have a BIG imagination, and when your walking in the dark alone, they see things that aren't there. Being paranoid can really ruin some one's life, starting out young can ruin some one's childhood too.
People argue that parents are supposed to know what their kids are watching, but parents work, run errands, go grocery shopping, and do a lot of stuff. They don't have time to be watching their kids' every move neither limit what they watch on T.V. The same people say that we all have freedom of speech, and that getting rid of violence limits their creativity. For one thing, they abuse the First Amendment, and the only exception it has is when its dangerous or a threat. Violence is a threat and it is dangerous. They can be creative but they can have limits. We don't have to get rid of violence completely, just not be so gory and bloody.
We should stop violence on T.V because we need to keep the kids safe, out of danger and out of trouble. Everyone is different and they all react differently, that said, we should take care of what they see because you never know what might happen to them, or what they might do. Yes, people have the right to freedom of speech, and yes they have the right to be creative, but everything has its limits, and we have gone way beyond them.
