Television causes an increase in violence in children.

     

Children are great imitators. Imaginary play and modeling their favorite characters are commonplace among the young. There has been overwhelming evidence that suggests viewing violent and aggressive behavior on television, does indeed directly affect children.  

Children can readily imitate what they see. Just ask any parent whose child has learned their ABC's by watching Sesame Street. After repeated viewing, their child began reciting their ABCs from memory. Learning violence is no exception. It can be imitated and learned in the same manner as how the alphabet was committed to memory. The only difference is when children watch negative behavior, it is that negativity that they learn and mimic. 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 they imitate all that they see equally. Studies show that children who watch too much violence on TV appear to be more unwilling to cooperate and are less patient with both their peers and adults.

On the other hand, violent television does not lead to violent children. Virtually everyone in our society watches television, yet we don't have rampant violent crime rates. Violence has existed long before the media and although the scope of it has changed, the causes cannot be attributed to media. Humans have been here long before television was invented and violence still happened then. Research shows that some children are more aggressive in general than others and that the more aggressive children prefer violent television, watch and play more aggressive games. 

All babies are born with violent tendencies, which most kids learn to control as they grow older. Those who don't or can't learn are the ones who become violent. It's a natural behavior. It's surprising that the idea that children and adolescents learn aggression from the media is still relevant."

The origin of the word " Egypt" or " MISR"

Here is some points of views I receive from experts: - Egypt is a Greek corruption - Aigyptos, derived from the native Het-Ka-Ptah, which means house of spirit ptah. Copt is also derived from Aigyptos. Misr is Hebrew from Misraim. Misraim was the son of Ham, in Hebrew mythology. - Esoterically - the word Egypt is derived from the first letters for the essence colours Emerald Green, Yellow, Pink, Turquoise (E-G-Y-P-T) which are the colours associated with the ancient 32 foot tall egyptians that originally came from the stars and lived in Egypt before the flood ... those that delve into these mysteries will see these essence colours appearing electrically so there must be some truth to this... - The name Misr is a Semiticized form of Ancient Egyptian: Medjr = walled district Medjre = tower, fortress These Ancient Egyptian words became Meetsrayeem [Egypt] and Meetsree [Egyptian] in Hebrew, and in Arabic; Misr and Masri respectively. It is the same as Westerners calling China, China, afte...

Egyptian Hair Removal

Halawa Sweet - Egyptian Hair Removal - Assalya This is a very old, very famous Egyptian recipe for wax that is completely natural and extremely effective. It is basically caramel, right before it reaches the crystallising stage (so it also tastes great). It is relatively simple to make, but take care to observe the carmelizing of the sugar, because the window for the wax to be just right before burning is very small. Do not be frustrated if you burn a batch; even experienced makers do this all the time. The best thing to do is to watch is continuously once the colour changes to golden brown.
