  • Boys who received a game system at the beginning of the study showed an immediate increase in how much time they spent playing video games and a decrease in the after-school academic activities.  They also had significantly lower reading and writing scores than the group of boys that were promised a game system at the end of the study.  Parents reported no behavioral changes, but there was an immediate increase in teacher-reported learning problems for boys that received a game system at the beginning of the study (Science Daily).

      This is a common argument for the negative position.  Be aware that there are educators who use gaming as a teaching tool and believe that it can be positive.

      This site is an example of how a web page can have a blog section.  The purpose of this site is to sell a product but the author (a special ed teacher) also has much experience and a point of view on an important topic.  If there is a place to leave a comment, then you may consider this as a blog.

      I think what this means is that teenagers are unaware of their surroundings, and sometimes that can lead to an ungracious attitude towards others and their environment

      This web page shows a study where a survey that is being orchastrated every 2 years has been reviewed again only to see a rise in teenagers that lie, cheat and steal to get anything and everything that they want. This study also compares present results to past results.
  • The institute conducted a random survey of 29,760 high school students earlier this year (as they have every two years since 1992) and found that the next generation of leaders have a somewhat casual relationship with the truth.
  • And they lie even more than they steal. Forty-two percent say they have lied to save money (compared with 39 percent in 2006), and 83 percent said they lied to their parents about something significant.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Ninety-three percent said they were “satisfied with their personal ethics and character.” And 26 percent said they lied on at least one or two questions on the survey about lying.

      This website shows a few examples of what teenagers typically would lie about. These little white lies are very common our society, and happen all the time. In addition, this web page indicates a survey that was taken to 9 000 high school students about there honesty. I believe that this is a proper amount of students to be able to generally analize teenagers as a society, and formulate how honest they are as a population.

      The 'bias' question is clearly important here.
  • In a recent survey of almost 9,000 high school students: 92% lied to their parents in the past 12 months (79% two or more times) 78% lied to a teacher 71% cheated on a test would lie to get a job

      This website is really good because it defines self- esteem helping us restrict our variables even more. It talks about how you can get a higher self- esteem (setting realistic goals, celebrate achievements are some). There are also some other arcitles about self- esteem on this web page that are really good.

      This web site is very credible because it is from the governement of Alberta. It is about the self esteem of kids/ teens and the directly related to sports. This site is perfect for our project because it talks about negative and positive things coaches and parents do. It shows that there are some very basic things that players ca do that help build self- esteem. Most players already do these things with out realizing it. Like encouraging others, and taking initiative with in the team

    Yes, it's credible but it's more about giving advice to coaches than it is information about your topic. Where are your highlights?

      This article is related to my project because it talks about how teenagers are not aware of their surroundings, instead they are more focused on facebook, MSN. It also shows an example of how teachers could help teens become more aware by doing simple things in school. As my topic is about apathy and teens being unaware, this article helps a lot.
  • The benefits of being socially aware are endless. Everything from becoming an informed voter to donating to a needy cause is influenced by one's consciousness of current affairs

      By being socially aware, teenagers can have so many more benefits compared to if they are not aware of their surroundings. Being aware can help us in the future and now by, as they say in the article, becoming an informed voter for example.
  • Joseph Miceli, a high school religion teacher, says that discussing current events within the standard school curriculum is "a very practical and effective way of making learning more interesting and real." Although many teachers do an excellent job of making current events relevant in the classroom, Miceli questions whether or not it is consistently used within all subject areas.

      Although teachers are very good at their job, Joseph Miceli wonders if teachers are teaching us enough about current events going on around us. If certain teachers would start to put more emphasis on this subject, teenagers would maybe begin to learn a bit more about their surroundings.

  • Although today's youth are more media savvy than ever before, there seems to be a missing link within the information chain. From soldiers' deaths in the Middle East to fundraising events in their own community, today's teenagers are often uninformed about current events and world news.

      This statement here represents perfectly our topic. It is a fact, teenagers are often uninformed about current events and world news and it is'nt necessarily a good thing. They now have more "important" priorities in their life such as facebook, texting , being with their friends etc... that they don't take the time to see what is happening around the world. Basic knowledge, and some teenagers don't even know stuff about their own country.
  • "Students would rather spend hours on social-networking sites like Facebook and chatting on instant messengers like MSN than searching Google for important world issues," says Clarke.

      Technology plays a huge role in today's generation... and I believe that it could be the cause as to why teenagers are not as aware of their surroundings now. They are more occupied in the latest web invention instead of simply taking 10 minutes of their time to Google stuff about world issues.

      While this is interesting, a newspaper report quoting one teenager is not the most credible source. It's ok if your other sites are excellent.

Who Shaped Our Behavior? Peers or Parents? - 2 views

  • According to Harris, children are most influenced by their peers.  They adopt many behaviors of their peers in social settings in order to be accepted by their peers.

  • The fact is that we decide who we would let influence, inspire, or corrupt us.
  • It is true that children adopt or mimic certain behaviors in social settings in order to win acceptance of their peers.  How desperate children get for peer acceptance and approval depends on the sense of individuality (or lack of it) their families cultivate in them.  Children whose parents encourage them to think independently learn to question rather than to blindly follow.  Such children might be less influenced by their peers.

      This could help me and my partner for our project because we understand that teenagers try to immitate people to become socially accepted by them. We also understand that teenagers are desperate for this acceptance and have parents who teach them to question important decisions have more independance that those who are 'followers'.
  • Parents influence at-home behavior and peers influence behavior outside the home, that is, the behavior in the social setting.  We learn how to make friends and influence others by first experimenting with our peers and then we transfer these skills to the adult world of coworkers and friends.  But, how we behave as partners and parents is more likely to be shaped by what we observe in our families as children.

      This section could help us because it explains how teenagers change their behaviours when at home compared to with their social groups. People will always be different with their friends than with their families.
  • Peers influence our behavior but parents play a part in which peers we choose to associate with.  Our behavior in public and at work is largely determined by our childhood peers but our family behavior is determined by the early lessons we received at home.

      We often forget about spiritual life and the presence of religion in a teen's life. It is also a great and important factor on identity.
