REACTION to BARAKA

      This film give me a positive thought that I need to work hard and face my life. There are many different lifestyle in different areas and countries. Some people are luxury; otherwise, others are poor. everyone work hard for their life even they are different culture. I am very lucky that I was born in my country and family. I have opportunities to study and go aboard. There are many people don't have home and food or they maybe have to follow traditional rules. I think that is unfair and don't have freedom. So, I like mylife very much. 

Research Abstract

                                                 Computer games cause children aggression?

Whether children playing computer games causes more aggressive behavior is controversial (Walker, 2001; Smith, 2003). Even though Walker (2001) states that playing violent computer games lead children to aggressive behavior, Smith (2003) points out that children's programs also include death, violence and car chase, so they can figure out that computer games are only games. In my opinion, children can play camputer games, but parents should choose non-violent games for children.
