Tentative Research and the Sake of Arguement

There's plenty of topics in the world to over a point over. Are democrats or republicans responsible for our current economic problems? Do video games turn our children into homicidal maniacs? Is Elvis really dead?

Well, maybe not that last one. I have no desire to chase after a paper based on conspiracy theories.

However, video games and their effects on today's youth might be a worthy topic. Lets break it down for a moment.

Video games are accused of jading children to violence and other such material normally seen as acceptable only for adults (sex, crime, death). Some go as far as to say that this desensitivity is destroying our youth and causing them to even become excited by the prospect of mayhem.

However, most people who seem to have gone off the deep end and emulated their favorite video games in real life have been noted as having serious quirks and psychological problems already. So perhaps instead of video games sending children out into the world to destroy... maybe they are simply something said people found an easy way to put into action something they may have already been ready to do. Besides, the media portrays things many times more disturbing than found on the average video game.

It's something to think about.

Innocent
People
Political
Cartoon
Picture

These are the five words I seem to have used an over abundance of during my writing of "The Obvious". My paper centered around a political Cartoon of Benjamin Franklin and promoted lax gun laws. I've tried in vain to decide upon words to replace these I seem to have used excessively. When I write, I tend to write using "people", "person" and "one" as pronouns. My paper was about a political cartoon so "political", "cartoon" and "picture" are understandably used often. "Innocent" is the only word that stands out to me but I can not seem to think of a way around using it. Well, no way that would not require myself to write in a much wordier fashion. Perhaps the best thing to do is simply limit my pronouns more often.

Revised Writings of Style and Structure

Andrew Carnegie came to America from Scotland. To support himself, Carnegie took work as a factory hand, a telegrapher, and a railway clerk. His savings from these jobs were invested in oil, and later, the largest steel works in the country. Historians do not agree in their assessments of Carnegie. Some consider him a cruel taskmaster and others, a benevolent benefactor. His contributions to American society however, cannot be denied. He established public libraries all across the country and spent much of his time promoting peace. For better or worse, he ranks as one of our most noteworthy nineteenth-century immigrants.
