Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In family rooms across America, millions of children and teenagers are playing video games, such as Call of Duty, Halo, and Grand Theft Auto, roaming violent virtual worlds -- with virtual guns in their hands. In what sometimes seems like an increasingly violent world, it's only natural to worry about the effects of all this pixelated gore. But is that concern misplaced? Authors and psychologists Patrick M. Markey and Christopher J. Ferguson say it is. The media and politicians have been sounding the alarm for years, and with every fresh tragedy involving a young perpetrator comes another flurry of articles about the dangers of violent media. The problem is this: Their fear isn't supported by the evidence. In fact, unlike the video game-trained murder machines depicted in the press, school shooters are actually less likely to be interested in violent games than their peers. In reality, most well-adjusted children and teenagers play violent video games, all without ever exhibiting violent behavior in real life. What's more, spikes in sales of violent games actually correspond to decreased rates of violent crime. If that surprises you, you're not alone -- the national dialogue on games and violence has been hopelessly biased. But that's beginning to change. Scholars are finding that not only are violent games not one of society's great evils, they may even be a force for good. In Moral Combat, Markey and Ferguson explore how video games -- even the bloodiest -- can have a positive impact on everything from social skills to stress, and may even make us more morally sensitive. Tracing the rise of violent games from arcades to online deathmatches, they have spent years on the front lines of the video game debate and now offer a comprehensive overview of the scientific research on gaming. With humor, complete honesty, and extensive research, they separate the myth from the medium. Moral Combat is an irreverent and informative guide to the worries -- and wonders -- of our violent virtual world. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A great mind, through an impressive array of literature, Robert Newton's novel is also a gold mine of wisdom and guidance. as it weaves threads of Gematria, immortality and a one-ness with God into an amazing tapestry. This book is the product of decades of learning and teaching by a revered educator, lecturer, and activist for the people. Robert Newton has done it again! Written a novel designed to challenge the mind. His writing style is engaging; leaving the reader wondering whether the manuscript is more filled with reality than fantasy. He tests readers with minds awakened to what far too many consider the impossible; he plants seeds of feasibility and for some.hope. Some readers may ask, 'Is this writer on a personal bandwagon. Preaching of immortality ' Others will find promise in the unlikely. Each will be caught in the depth of the characters and the story interwoven in the quest to enlighten. I have often found certain passages in Dr. Newton's books that imbue the essence of his work. I've found that gem in this manuscript. It then follows, if people would suspend judgment of those things that are contrary to what they have learned. and embrace which is really more similar than contrary and/or opposing, we could all become more evolved. I am confident this is his passion for connecting with his readers. Have you ever found yourself on the 'fence' so to speak because what you were taught about life, love, religion, politics, etc. was diametrically different than your personal experiences You might find yourself in the very characters Newton builds in the pages of this book; you might find answers in fiction that mirrors reality.
