Fast food at School?

I do not agree with the idea that fast food should be taken out of school cafeterias. People argue that this amount of calories intake is not healthy. They want to take it out of the school cafeterias. This is not a good idea. Kids who buy the lunches in the cafeteria don't have many choices.

It is not something as harmless as the ABCs.  Authorities on child behavior agree that what a child watches do indeed affect their behavior. Young children see violence on television and they have a difficult time differentiating between what is real or what is make believe, thus the

Internet: Positive Or Negative?

To majority of teenagers and working adults, the Internet has been regarded as one the most innovative achievements of humankind. internet's pervasive and life-altering influences can be felt in many aspects of people's daily lives. While mostly beneficial in areas such as communication, trade and research, the internet has also caused a proliferation of pornography and hacking.  Communication all over the world has been considerably improved thanks to the Internet. With the widespread availability of messengers and social networks, people can easily communicate irrespective of their geographic locations. Gone are the days when international communication meant a delay of several days to months. Today, interaction through the Internet is more convenient, it also has options to allow face to face interaction such as through the use of Skype.  On the other hand, objectors of the Internet argue that it spoils the young generation by spreading pornography and violence, which is con
