There have even been controlled studies in which Paul Levinson demonstrated the lack of linking violent video games to youth violence and pointed out some fallacies. The example that Levinson used in 2007 was a controlled study. Two groups of kids, chosen at random to ensure the groups were equivalent, participated in a video game study.

Discussion Week 11 #1 I found the Nature vs. Nurture topic interesting because I don’t believe the environment makes the person. We are all responsible for the choices we make.

We find that higher test scores on the cognitive reflection test of Frederick [Frederick, S., 2005. Cognitive reflection and decision-making.

theme of isolation and alienation in both texts. As a result of their non-conformity, the protagonists experience rejection and depression as they search for their selfhood.

Margaret Sanger uses bias, fallacies and rhetorical devices in her speech, “The Morality of Birth Control” to convey her views on this topic.

Not all churches believe that woman should not be independent. Sanger uses fallacies when she describes
