Teachers are always asking, “What can I improve on in class?”, but students are always limited to what they can and cannot say. A student never knows if their words are offensive. Some teachers get offended because they feel like they put their all into their lessons, and a student still has minor things to criticize them in. Other teachers give silent lunches and lunch detentions because they feel like students are complaining when in reality, the students are giving feedback so that they can better the classroom experience for themselves and their peers.

When people talk about the subject of hate, the actual definition of the word “hate” never pops up. The definition of learned is very simple. It is acquiring knowledge through the act of study. The definition of taught is also very simple, it is to show or explain how to do something. The words “taught” and “learned” are very different and have great contrast.

The word “learned: is used in the past tense so that means it has already been taught. Hate cannot be learned because when you are born you do not know what hate is or how it happens. You do not know what hate can become. When you are born you are taught to hate others, how they look walk and talk. When you are growing up, some people like to follow a trend and hate is the trend that some people follow. People are taught by others that it is okay and that hating other people is okay. Let’s take it back to the civil right period, when white people hated black people because they were taught to hate by their mothers and fathers. This is a cycle of hate because those people’s parents were taught by their parents so on. There has been a long line of hate that has be taught for centuries and is still going on to this day. The conclusion that comes to my head is hate needs to stop being taught and their should be peace because hate does not help anything it just make things worse.

This is my opinion on why I prefer Minecraft over Fortnite. I have played both Fortnite for two years and I have played Minecraft for four years.

Minecraft is better than Fortnite because you can craft many more items in Minecraft. In Fortnite, players are limited to crafting just stairs, walls, floors, and pyramids. You can explore different biomes/ lands like the Arctic, Plains, Mushroom islands, the Desert, and many more. In Minecraft, players are able to make their own worlds rather than just going onto random servers with people you don’t know. I like Minecraft more than Fortnite because there is more land to explore.

In Minecraft, you can find animals in different biomes instead of buying them for cosmetic use. Animals are very useful because they can protect you from mobs rather than just barking at your opponents. You can tame some animals such as wolves,cats,ocelots,bunnies,foxes,horses,donkeys,pandas,polar bears, and many more. In Fortnite animals only growl at the enemies. In Minecraft they attack anything or anyone who attacks you.

There are many different mobs in the game including animals. The most annoying mob is probably the silver fish and they are only found in strongholds. Many mobs can spawn randomly at any time of day such as the creeper, zombies, infected villagers, skeletons and many more. All those mobs I named go under the monster category of mobs. There are many details I left out but that is why i prefer Minecraft over Fortnite.

 This is my opinion on why I prefer Minecraft over Fortnite.

I think that more parents should allow their children to play video games because they can help children gain real life knowledge, such as football plays and terminology. Video games helped me in real life football because I learned about plays that are actually used in real football.

For example, Madden taught me the strong blue play, the blackout play, and the tight end pass run. These are real plays that actual football players use in the field. The strong blue play is when the quarterback calls motion and the wide receiver gets the football and runs five yards. The wide receiver then passes back to the quarterback and tries to run it to the end zone. Another play I learned from playing video games is the black out play, this is when the defensive line gets in a straight line on the line of scrimmage. The tight end pass play is when the tight end goes out for a run and the wide receiver blocks for the tight end.

It was a great experience when I got to see all the plays I had learned in my video games in action. When I went to the Skyway Stadium I saw the 49ers and the Ocala Rattlers use twin nine pick play in the game. I was able to identify it because I learned it from my video game. The twin nine pick is when the wide receiver goes for a run and then he lets the tight end go and get the ball from him and then he tries to run to the endzone and does what I call the “end zone dance.”

I believe that video games are good educational resources, but they are not used as often as they should be. Parents should use video games to teach their children new things like football plays, exercise their fingers, and maybe even learn more of their colors. Since I learn so much when I play video games, I hope that people begin to think that videos games are a great resource to help others learn new things.

Video games are not the reason that your children are acting violently. According to an article by Brad J. Bushman, a professor of psychology and communication at Ohio State University, he states that people who think deeply about the game are more violent than people who play the game without any thought. I believe that this is a false accusation and his experiment was merely coincidence. This topic matters to me because my Mom does this to me all of the time. She blames my behavior of talking back to her on video games. So, I would like to refute her claims.

My first reason for this is personal experience. After I play a video game like Borderlands or GTA 5, I do not feel violent in any way after 24 hours. In fact, I feel calmer than ever knowing I good, deep session of video games. The only violence I feel when I play video games is when I lose. But even then, the rage is only for a second. My anonymous friends also do not feel any rage after 24 hours. We play together and get into very serious gaming sessions. After many hours of playing, the only thing we feel is contempt from having such a good gaming session.

In conclusion, video games have no correlation to causing young people to act violently. I’ve read many articles to support my claims. There have also been many scientific research studies that show no correlation between violence and video games. You can look at articles from The New York Times, CNN, and CBS for more information. Some example articles are, “Video Games Aren’t Why shootings Happen. Politicians Still Blame Them.”, and “Video games unlikely to cause real world violence , experts say”.
