Q. I have to write an English essay, a persuasive one... it has to be on a controversy topic... i chose video game violence causing children to become violent. I need some quotes that are short and easy to read. I am also having to do a 2 minute speech on my topic in front of a camera and my English class. I don't want to use super big words because that will make my essay boring. I really want quotes for and against this topic that are easy to understand. Thanks for all the help. Also if anyone could, i need reasons for why people think this is true and untrue. Thanks. P.S. i normally don't need help on papers i write because it normally comes naturally but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place for the first time. I'm stumped. Thanks again...!!!
A. Here's a quote which takes the "no" position:
"We know from history, that tragic events often spark moral panics that target media. Recall the tremendous hue and cry following Columbine, where the predators in the mass violence were portrayed as loners who were addicted to violent video games, or the recent descriptions of the Newtown gunman as someone who was isolated and played with digital media for hours a day.
But as appealing as the anecdotal evidence is, empirically these findings don't hold up. Comprehensive, scientifically conducted reviews of the video game violence field such as those called for by some policymakers and advocates already exist: the U.S. Supreme Court as well as highly credible reviews by Australia and Sweden have all recently concluded that the existing video game research could not support direct links between violent entertainment and societal violence."
Michael Levine and Christopher Ferguson, Huffington Post, April 5 2013
And here's a quote that takes the "yes" position:
"Frequently playing violent video games is “strongly associated” with aggression in juveniles who have had trouble with the law, according to a new study co-authored by three Iowa State University professors and two other researchers.....“Playing violent video games is a risk factor for aggressive behavior,” said Matt DeLisi, an Iowa State University sociology professor and one of the paper’s five authors. “It is not the only factor, but is a factor.” "
from an article by Daniel P. Finney in the DesMoinesRegister.com, March 27 2013
Both authors quote scientific studies, and the two of them come up with opposite conculusions!
Good luck :)

A. The $679.99 desktop seems to be a better buy since it has a memory card reader. The addition of a memory card reader allows you to read memory cards such as those from digital cameras and a few other devices to be used.
The Ethernet ports are the same since the desktops are the same model which, I presume, uses the same motherboard. The different types of Ethernet LAN are the theoretical speeds that the Ethernet is able to handle, most if not all new computers in 2013 come with 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN. The more speeds do not matter since everything is restricted by internet speeds by your internet provider (Verizon, Comcast,etc...)or by networking equipment in your home. If you connect to your internet with a cable to your router or modem, the Dell Ethernet LAN is used. If you use WiFi, then the Dell wireless LAN is used.
There is no difference between GDDR5 and DDR5 since they are labelled under the amd radeon 7570 card which is a dedicated card with its own memory. DDR5 is GDDR5 when it is under a graphics card. A dedicated card is for better performance and graphics for gaming or videos.
Hard Drives in pre-built computers are hard to find out, but again there should not be a difference since they only have one hard drive but the xps 8500 has its hard drive connected to a SATA III port.
The sound systems does not make any difference as many integrated sound systems are sufficient enough. You may have to buy separate speakers for either of the computers which adds to your computer costs since new computers may not come with speakers.
The $679.99 model is better since it costs less and has the same specs and a memory card reader. Keep in mind there are other things that may increase the price of your desktop such as taxes and additional items that are not included such as speakers and monitors. If you are buying from a store, haggle with the manager for a better price, be sure to be kind to them. Best regards to you
