Does violent games or media impose a threat to the children and their behaviors?


Okay, this is my first debate, so I'll be pretty new to its rules, but be understanding please ! So, does violent games or media impose a threat to the children (or yet all its players) in a mean of them having negative influences from them? In my opinion, yes. These little things that anyone comes in contact with, can and probably will influence the person with or without their conscious awareness of being affected. This may not be the only factor that drives some people to real danger...
Shakespeare's works should be abridged and enhanced to make them more enjoyable


Shakespeare may have written some quite good plays, but few would disagree that most of them are far too long and boring.
That’s why they should be edited and spiced up a bit at the same time. Here is an example of what I have in mind:
Romeo &...

Physical Books are superior to E-books


In this debate, I wish to prove that books are superior to e-books. There are a number of reasons for this. I can touch, feel, and smell a book; which are all part of the unique experience. I can make notes in a book. I can loan a book to a friend. I can read them where there is no internet. Physical books have had a larger impact on our world than e-books. Physical books offer a wider variety. I will expand on these issues and more in the...
