CHILDREN
It is true that children today spend far more time indoors than in previous generations. I would say that this has both a positive and negative side. Children today seem to spend far too long inside with computer games, watching TV and videos. This is definitely bad in some ways because children should develop outdoor pursuits such as football, cricket and basketball that would make them healthy now and in their later lives. If they don‛t learn to play sports when they‛re young, ...

Power of words When I think about a bully, I picture someone hitting or pushing, or throwing things. Often, though, a bully’s only weapon is words. Up to half of the time, kids tease others about being gay. Whether the description is true or not, the teasing is unkind. That kind of negative talk is called homophobia. By the seventh grade, homophobic bullying can turn into sexual harassment. This is much more dangerous. It can hurt people deeply and even physically. Bullies also tend to use la...

gangs
GANGS Even though the Crips started out to be a positive movement, their environment and situations had an outstanding impact on the negative out come of the gang.

As I remember, whenever the weather changed, she would tirelessly tell me to put on more clothes; whenever there was a bowl of soup, she wo...
asian work ethic
The video gave me an overview of values and work ethics of that of Asian kids and American kids. In the video, the American kids seemed more relax and more lay back, while the Asian kids tend to study more. Why is that?
