Discussion Questions re Video Games
I agree violent video games can are related to violence and aggression for youth. Teenagers learn using violence to deal with their problems from violent video games. In video games, they can fight or kill people if they are not satisfied with them. However, this is not correct, violence is the worst method to solve problems in real life. For some teenagers, they may confuse the reality and video games, and think they can solve problems by violent way as video games. Therefore, I believe video will affect children, especially those who didn’t develop their personalities completely.
7.
In my opinion, players will get addition with video games. Video games’ designers always make different goals or monsters to keep players’ interest. According to players’ degrees increasing, the goals will become more difficult to receive or monsters will be stronger than before. In order to pursue their companions or raise their degree, game players will keep playing the game instead of doing something else. In addition, many players join in the groups or have companions inside video games. As a result, they like to spend more time on playing games with their on-line friends
8.
Many game players may control their time well on playing video games, they still can keep their careers, schools, family and social relationships. However, for some serious players, they spend most of their time on playing games, they forget dates with their friends or spouses. Players can not distinguish real live from video games. Finally, they are more likely to care about what happens in the video games than real lives. Some player with serious addition of video games may lose their jobs, fail school or break marriage or social relationship with others from over-playing video games.

Research Papers
However, it is worthy, i learn a lot from it.
First of all, we know how to look for the inf which we need and also how to use clues ans database. Its crucial when we have to collect some inf from different sources.
Secondly, fast reading. Because we get a lot of input from books, journals, magazines and internet. In order to paraphrase into ur own words, u must browse all the inf rapidly and get the main idea from them. It improves my ability in reading skill.
Thirdly, we need to know the basic rules about how to write ur paper in formal method. After we wrote all the paper, we need to integrate them again and decide how to place ur inf which includes attridution and references. It is a good foundation for our academic study and career area.
Improving Academic Skills Reading
It has been long time, i didnt post new stuff in my blog
After i finished the article, i am interested in first part- study habits.
In this section, it mentions that we need to devide into several small parts and do it everyday instead of saving all of it for later.
It is the same theory that we did the resaerch, it is really useful.
In my opinion, if i didnt do my research paper step by step , i cannt hand in my research on time.
Its a good suggestion which Lili gave us, everyday keep going on it even we only progress a little bit.
Give ourselves a schedule, dont make it to difficult tp achieve, otherwise, u will give up.
Everyday follow the plan and then u will see the result.
Also, the author mentions u need to reward urself when u achieve ur goal.
I completely agree that, taking rest is a preparation for following chanllenges.
In order to follow this rule, its time for me to take a rest after resaerch paper and presentation.
Haha......

defination for happiness
Pursuing happiness is most people’s goal through all whole life. However, everyone has different definitions of happiness. In my opinion, firstly, happiness is to be satisfied with what you already have. Of course, one also needs to have at least enough money to provide food, shelter, and clothing for one’s self and family—this is also important for happiness. Although, this rule sounds easy to achieve, in fact, many can not really follow it. Also, sometimes people won’t feel satisfied, even when they get what they want. In fact, they try to ask for more and never enjoy what they already have. This is why some rich people are still unhappy their life. Those of us in between these two extremes must be thankful for what we have and think about other people who has worse situation than us.
Secondly, happiness also include health which not only means physical health but also psychological. Without health in body and personality, it is difficult to pursue happiness.
Happiness is easy or difficult to achieve all depends on how people think about it. We have the right to decide which kind of life we want, everyone has the same hours per day and if you want to consume the time in pursuing happiness or suffering from sadness, it is up to the individual.
answer for population
1.
More and more populations are produced, it means we get more opportunities to develop human ability. We have more choices to set right person into right position. For example, in the Olympic Games, if one country has more residents, they can select the best athletes from various competitions in their population. Also, other industries can get better people to extend their domains. Moreover, population growth will inherit original cultures. Although some cultures will still disappear in our globalized world, with population growth we will have greater opportunity to preserve at least the memory of ancient cultures. Finally, with increasing population, there will be greater possibility for creative people to born and to produce beautiful art, music, or dance.
2.
Constantly increasing population will accelerate consumption of limited natural resources. In addition, over-populations need to share confined land, food, gas, fresh water, etc. Although technology will improve, someday technology will be unable to keep up with the speed of population growth and we will suffer from the battle of seizing these resources. In response to this, governments will need to draw up accurate plans to cope with over-population. They should improve the qualities education, mass transit and infrastructure to accommodate increasing residents. Otherwise, the quality of life will be damaged.
3.
In response to increasing population, the industrial sector will expand and become increasingly complex; as such, governments will have to begin to regulate industry. Government plays a vital role to decide a country’s progress. Because the economy of the world is growing, its economies will as well and if governments lead with accurate direction, its citizens will benefit from it.
First of all, government must manage the number of population to avoid out of control population growth. Secondly, health control, some industry countries exist some epidemic diseases. Government has a responsibility to inhibit is widespread. Finally, improve the educational system, accurate education build residents to correct conception in different aspects, such as health control, crime decreasing and career performance.
