1.) Is all crime bad crime? In the video game titled Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, a vast amount of committed, but not without justifiable reasoning.
2.) Why are certain games given certain maturity levels. GTA: San Andreas was changed from a level of “M” for mature, to another level based on certain aspects of the game. What makes them choose certain levels for certain games, and how does this effect the amount of money the game produces, along with other consequences for certain maturity levels.
3.) Politicians, and others have protested and rallied against many violent games such as GTA: San Andreas. Should the government have the ability to police, and regulate the ratings, and content of certain games.

2 Online Video Game Articles
The title of my first articles was, What Video Games Can Teach Us, and the link is as follows;
(http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org/articles/20040121/Feature1.asp). This article pretty much hilighted all the positive aspects of video games, it explains how video games can actually help kids that have problems focusing, and can be utilized in a learning environment to help keep kids interested in school, and enjoy the whole thought of school more. I believe the article makes a lot of sense, and by incorporating video games into a learning environment, and making games into educational tools, it would definately help kids learn and become more interested in school.
The title of the econd article was, The Violent Side of Video Games,and the link is, (http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org/articles/20040114/Feature1.asp). This article was pretty much the opposite of the previous one I read. It was about the violence in certain video games, and the argument as to If the violence from video games, causes people to act more violent and do violent things. In my opinion I dont believe the video games make people do violent things, you do it because you want to. Video games are media, just like television and movies, thats it, they dont force your hand in doing anything you dont want to do.
